elvis 0 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hi, I'm new to the msp430, I've earlier played around with arduino and found the serial interface very good to print output from sensors and buttons. But I can't manage to do it with the launchpad MSP-EXP430G2. I'm using Gentoo/linux and gcc-msp430. Do anyone know how to connect via a serial interface to the msp430? Or knows of any guide out there describing how to do it. /Elvis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsolarski-backup 22 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 use a terminal program like cutecomm or other serial terminal program, 8n1 9600 baude are the settings, just remember to start your serial terminal first before sending anything to the PC. as a side note, I would look for the Kernel fix that is somewhere on this site that fixes all the little quirks.

rockets4kids 204 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Are you having problems at the PC end or the MSP430 end? At the PC end, you should be able to talk to the MSP430 exactly the same way you talk to your Arduino. Just substitute the appropriate /dev/tty. Personally, I just use "screen". $ screen /dev/ttyS0 9600 bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
