Neewbie line code question

[N3TL0@D3R 0]

Hello everyone, so, i finally have the time to work on my launchpad. I've been reading some things and i have a question.

this line:

 

:arrow: #include

 

i have to use this only if i'm using the chip msp430g2231 or it's jut for "importing" a command or that chip functionality.

 

Thank you or your answer.

have a look at the file, it defines quite a bit of stuff. while its always best to have the matching header a lot of the functionality is the same for the range and you can get away with a similar chip like the msp430g2001. or the f series.

on my linux box the header is also calling for these:

#include

#include

#include

#include

#include

#include

It's the header file for that particular chip which maps #defines to appropriate peripheral addresses.

 

Just a small suggestion since you asked this kind of question... it would be better if you read up on the basics of C first. You already come from a programming background(Web), so it should not be too hard. This will only help you later.

 

Welcome to the Forums. Keep asking your questions.

Thanks, i use c a lot and also learn that before php, i have this doubt with the include because i was set on this:

if the launchpad came with the 430g2553 why are they using this? is it like math.h an they include this to use #pragma vector

or they actually using this other chip.

The LP used to come with a '2211 and a '2231, the TI examples are written for those. You'll need some creativity porting them to the '2553, but it's quite doable with a bit of thinking and consulting the appropriate headers (msp430g2231.h and msp430g2553.h in this case). It's going to be register name differences mostly.
