UART TX on Port2.0 for bigger value line devices

[leomar01 8]

After many hours of struggling with datasheets, reading code samples, getting grace to work, asking a lot in this forum and getting much help, I finally got the SW UART on Port2.0 working (TX only - for now).

    /*#######################################

This is one more way of a software uart, but on port2.0 for the 20pdip MSP430s.

I have used many parts from here and there, but most of this code is generated in grace

and afterwards slightly modified to achieve the goal of a software uart on port2.0

 

My MSP430G2553 runs on 16MHz, if you want to use an other clockspeed, you have to adjust the bittime

 

for suggestions and complaints, please feel free to contact me on 43oh.com
