energia 485 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I would like to dedicate my first post on this forum to all the Energia team members who have supporting me in the first hours of the project. Without their support Energia would not have been possible. A special thanks to Rei Vilo and Rickta59 for their invaluable contribution. robertinant Mac, larsie and xv4y 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Genesisfactor 2 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 This will DEFINITELY take off. This is amazing. Almost exactly what I've been looking for. only a couple lines of code to blink an LED. All i was asking for. You just made the MSP430 a contender against the Arduino. In 2 hours, I have been able to do more with my MSP430 than i have in the last 11 months, despite going through all the tutorials, GRACE, code stealing from the templates, etc. TI should send you a nice fat check. I know i'll be donating, and this is the first piece of software i ever said that about! get a software serial for the USI based controllers (like for the 2231 and F2012), get those pins straight, and then give us a low powered mode calls (like -- powerMode(LMP1) ), and you just revolutionized the whole game. Sorry, i'm really excited. i just made it spin a servo motor and light up LEDs in under an hour. You have have no idea...just...thank you all who helped. energia 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kylej1050 27 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 And using the 28/32 pin chips we can have just as many IO as an arduino with more ADC. Ram is a tad lower but still plenty for most. energia 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
energia 485 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Thank for the kind words! You probably already figured out that there is a TimerSerial implementation for devices that do not have hardware serial (USCI). Example is in File->Examples->TimerSerial. As for the low power modes, it is on the TODO list. robertinant (Robert) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VirtualEnder 3 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Let me tell you how long I have been waiting for someone to do this! The MSP430 is a great chip and the launchpad is a great board! The traditional tool-chain is pretty horrible though, especially for new users! Now we have a great development environment to work with! Finally we have a cheap low power solution with a great IDE right in the hobbyist usability range! Thank you thank you thank you! I'll be excited to watch development continue and this project mature! Keep at it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mac 67 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Now if we could only figure out a way to get the USB drivers on our Windows machines without having to install CCS (lol)... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Now if we could only figure out a way to get the USB drivers on our Windows machines without having to install CCS (lol)... Follow these instructions and you will have your way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
energia 485 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Or you could go to https://github.com/energia/Energia/wiki/Getting-Started and get them from there. Robert bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mac 67 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Thanks Zeke & Robert.... Not having to install, what was it, something like 2 gigabytes, for CCS 4.1 should make it much easier for newcomers to get started... Cheerful regards, Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
