A while back @omnicron generously offered up some surplus boards sporting a MSP430F149 and a good mix of conditioned I/O on the board including a couple of 5.8psi pressure transducers.  I feel that this, along with the programming header on the board, makes it a good all-around board for general purpose projects. The board also supports a standby NiMH battery (6v, 1800mAh) with charging/discharging capability and voltage monitoring all controlled by the MCU.  The battery switches in via a relay upon primary power loss. One of the pushbuttons is configured in hardware to be used as a soft power on/off and requires just a little bit of code to work.

One of the concerns upon getting the board is that, even though it has a programming header, the fuse may have been blown to protect the original code.  With the fuse setup on the MSP430F149 that would be a show stopper and the board would have been a paper weight. Thankfully, when I connected my MSP-FET I was able to talk to the MCU as well as program it.

So what does one do when presented with a new piece of hardware?  Write code to flash LEDs and exercise the hardware, of course.  Since I wanted to make this a general purpose, “throw it at a project” kind of board, I wanted to write some functions to simplify the main program code.  So far I have routines for digital I/O, analog in, chip temperature and a function to display a binary result on the eight LEDs on the board.

One downside to the way this particular board was designed is the lack of easily accessible serial ports.  One way around this is to solder directly to the MCU pins to utilize the secondary serial ports , but that wasn't very attractive.  Looking at the schematic I found that by removing three passives from each of the two serial lines, I could repurpose what were originally a couple of digital outputs and have a serial port (UART only, no I2C on this MCU).  SPI is also possible using the same technique, but a little more cumbersome to implement. I haven't written the functions for serial yet and will probably wait until I actually need serial I/O.

The video demonstrates my demo code that utilizes soft power using the switch shown at the bottom left.  Default power up behavior is the 8 LEDs chasing up and down.  The next switch to the right of the power switch toggles the beeper which, when activated, sounds every time the LED furthest to the left (LSB) lights up.  The next switch to the right toggles the speed of the LEDs and the final button displays the chip temp in binary (75 degrees in this case), pauses to allow it to be read and then resumes the LED chasing. There… hardware reasonably exercised.  J

I have included pictures of the front and back of the board as well as a PDF schematic.

If you have the inclination I welcome feedback on the code and the resulting opportunity to learn to code more efficiently.

HI @dubnet

It looks like you had fun with that :smile:.  The code is easy to read and looks good to me.  You can try using a switch statement in the ISR - something like this:


//-----------------------  G P I O _ P O R T 1 _ I S R  ------------------------

#if defined(__TI_COMPILER_VERSION__) || defined(__IAR_SYSTEMS_ICC__)

#pragma vector=PORT1_VECTOR

__interrupt

#elif defined(__GNUC__)

__attribute__((interrupt(PORT1_VECTOR)))

#endif

void GPIO_PORT1_ISR(void)

{

    switch(P1IV)

    {

		case  0: break;                              //no interrupt pending

		case  2: break;                              //P1.0

		case  4: break;                              //P1.1

		case  6:                                     //P1.2

			GPIO_toggleOutputOnPin(RED_LED);

			break;

		case  8:                                     //P1.3

			GPIO_toggleOutputOnPin(GREEN_LED);

			break;

		case 10: break;                              //P1.4

		case 12: break;                              //P1.5

		case 14: break;                              //P1.6

		case 16: break;                              //P1.7

		default: break;                              //should not get here

    }

}

The TI examples in their MSP430 training videos use this approach.

@Fmilburn  Thanks for the feedback.  I did a little bit of research on the tradeoffs between the two methods, both from a readability standpoint and a performance standpoint.  It wins on the readability and can be faster executing in many cases than the if/then approach.  I will "switch" :laugh:  the code the next time I work on it.
