Energia working with MSP430G2211

[st3al 1]

Hi, i've a G2211 laying around and i can confirm that it is working using it as LaunchPad w/ msp430g2231.

 

I've tried the following sketches and all of them works OK.

 

Blink

Fade

Button

Debounce

 

AnalogInput it's really weird, i've connected a pot in the pin P1_5 as i've wrote it in the code. I've just tried connecting the center tap to pin P1_7 and now it's working.

 

The command Serial.Begin doesn't work:

 

 

AnalogReadSerial.cpp.o: In function `setup':

C:\Users\Dani\AppData\Local\Temp\build1421017437023774230.tmp/AnalogReadSerial.cpp:12: undefined reference to `Serial'

C:\Users\Dani\AppData\Local\Temp\build1421017437023774230.tmp/AnalogReadSerial.cpp:12: undefined reference to `HardwareSerial::begin(unsigned long)'

AnalogReadSerial.cpp.o: In function `loop':

C:\Users\Dani\AppData\Local\Temp\build1421017437023774230.tmp/AnalogReadSerial.cpp:17: undefined reference to `Serial'

The Serail.xxx API is for Hardware Serial. The G2231 does not have a Hardware Serial peripheral. You can use the timer based TimerSerial. TimerSerial example is in: File->Examples->TimerSerial. Also see https://github.com/energia/Energia/wiki/Know-Issues for a bug fix for TimerSerial on the msp430g2231.

 

Sorry to have to make you jump through hoops.

Thanks!

 

here i'll post some sketches that works:

 

delay time set by an analog input

int sensorPin = 7;
int ledPin = 14;
int sensorValue = 0;

void setup() {
 pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);  
}

void loop() {
 sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);    
 digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);  
 delay(sensorValue);          
 digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);   
 delay(sensorValue);                  
}

 

If you declare PIN 7 (P1_5) as input, then, connect the wiper on PIN 15(P1_7). Maybe the pin mapping is wrong.

 

const int sensorPin = 7; 
const int ledPin = 14; 

int sensorValue = 0;
int sensorMin = 1023;
int sensorMax = 0;


void setup() {

 pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
 digitalWrite(13, HIGH);


 while (millis() < 5000) {
   sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);


   if (sensorValue > sensorMax) {
     sensorMax = sensorValue;
   }


   if (sensorValue < sensorMin) {
     sensorMin = sensorValue;
   }
 }


 digitalWrite(13, LOW);
}

void loop() {

 sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);


 sensorValue = map(sensorValue, sensorMin, sensorMax, 0, 255);

 sensorValue = constrain(sensorValue, 0, 255);

 analogWrite(ledPin, sensorValue);
}

 

map() it's working very well.

Thanks Robert!

 

Here it's the example StateChangeDetection working!

 

#include 
TimerSerial mySerial;


const int  buttonPin = PUSH2;    
const int ledPin = RED_LED;   

int buttonPushCounter = 0;
int buttonState = 0;
int lastButtonState = 0;

void setup() {
 pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP);
 pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
 mySerial.begin();
}


void loop() {
 buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);

 if (buttonState != lastButtonState) {

   if (buttonState == LOW) {

     buttonPushCounter++;
     mySerial.println("on");
     mySerial.print("number of button pushes:  ");
     mySerial.println(buttonPushCounter);
   } 
   else {
     mySerial.println("off"); 
   }
 }
 lastButtonState = buttonState;


 if (buttonPushCounter % 4 == 0) {
   digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
 } else {
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
 }

 if (buttonPushCounter % 3 == 0) {
   digitalWrite(GREEN_LED, HIGH);
 }
 else{
   digitalWrite(GREEN_LED, LOW);
 }

}

I'm also having issues with the TimerSerial - it won't compile (at least on OSX)

 

/Applications/Energia.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/msp430/libraries/TimerSerial/TimerSerial.cpp: In static member function 'static void TimerSerial::RxIsr()':
/Applications/Energia.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/msp430/libraries/TimerSerial/TimerSerial.cpp:205:16: error: 'TA0IV_TACCR1' was not declared in this scope

 

 

The code I am trying to compile is here

 

#include 
TimerSerial mySerial;

const int ledPin = 14; // the pin that the LED is attached to
int incomingByte;      // a variable to read incoming serial data into

void setup() {
 // initialize serial communication:
 mySerial.begin();
 // initialize the LED pin as an output:
 pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
 // see if there's incoming serial data:
 if (mySerial.available() > 0) {
   // read the oldest byte in the serial buffer:
   incomingByte = mySerial.read();
   // if it's a capital H (ASCII 72), turn on the LED:
   if (incomingByte == 'H') {
     digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
   } 
   // if it's an L (ASCII 76) turn off the LED:
   if (incomingByte == 'L') {
     digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
   }
 }
}

 

NOTE - even the TimerSerial example won't compile for me....same error.

 

If I edit the "timerSerial.cpp" and comment the lines as follows it compiles and runs as expected.

 

//Timer A1 interrupt service routine
__attribute__((interrupt(TIMERA1_VECTOR)))
void TimerSerial::RxIsr(void)
{
       static unsigned char rxBitCnt = 8;
       static unsigned char rxData = 0;

//#ifdef TIMER0_A1_VECTOR
//      if ( TA0IV == TA0IV_TACCR1 ) {     // this mcu has multiple TIMERA peripherals
//#else
       if ( TAIV == TAIV_TACCR1 ) {
//#endif

If you are adventuresome you might grab the latest version from source. I checked in fixes for all this stuff. You don't have to explicitly include the TimerSerial stuff now. The code now creates a Serial instance based on your chip. For g2231/g2542 chips it will pick the TimerSerial, for g2553 it will use HardwareSerial.

 

It also allows you to change the baud rate with TimerSerial and automatically limits it to 4800 if you are running at 1MHz so that it will work properly.
