Liam 0 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I only just got setup with the launchpad and Energia so forgive me if this is covered elsewhere. Running the example for Analogread i see the resolution is 10-bit. I thought msp430 is 12-bit? Can someone steer me to understand this? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 It depends on which msp430 you have. Value line comes with 10bit ADC only. See here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam 0 Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Youre right, i was looking skew. So I guess my only alternative is to look at the Stellarpad? I was attracted to the msp430 as I could reduce pincount as I only use 1 Analog input and no digitals. I am just looking for higher resolution and really like the simplicity of Arduino environment. Any suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
simpleavr 399 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 you should try the msp430f2013. it's available in dip and u can just replace your g2213/g2553 on the $4.30 launchpad. it has 16 bit adc. if u don't want the dip package, u can get the ez430 usb stick tool. the f2012/f2013 are almost identical to the g2231. bluehash and xv4y 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chibiace 46 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 sd16 on the 2013 is not quite the same as the adc10, but it can do some neat things too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi simpleavr, Thanks for the tip about the MSP430F2013. It has some nice features but other specs are a bit disappointing : MSP430F2013: 2KB + 256B Flash Memory, 128B RAM This is a very small amount of RAM and Flash, perhaps better suited to programming with assembler...

abecedarian 330 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 External SPI or I2C ADC? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
