JVimes 0 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Quick newbie question: Is there a difference in what I should post to E2E vs the 43oh forums? They seem to fill the same niche. I got the vague impression E2E was for more serious engineers, so I've been posting my newbie question here, but I really have no idea. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Easley TI 42 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 quick answer is e2e is supported by TI apps engineers, so you can get answers directly from TI, but for many questions people find good responses from the experienced community on 43oh. Post wherever you can get your queries resolved. JVimes 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cde 334 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 While they do fill some of the same niches, 43oh is geared mainly towards launchpad and msp430 use, (with the sister sites for Stellaris/Tiva, C2k and Beagles) with some general electronics, while E2E is geared towards, well, anything produced by TI's semiconductor branch. Both have friendly members, but E2E is a bit more formal, professional setting (afaik), 43oh is very community oriented. Both are great resources. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JVimes 0 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Oh ya, I meant the msp430 section of E2E. I should have specified. Sounds like my current approach is sound. I'll ask things first here unless I have questions requiring the crowd at E2E. That'll probably happen more once I gain proficiency. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner84 466 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I think 43oh is more focused on single engineers/makers, while E2E is more corporate oriented. Personally, I prefer the interface of 43oh over that of E2E. JVimes 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vadimVladimir 0 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 TI forum sux... 43oh is the only real msp430 community Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 TI forum sux... 43oh is the only real msp430 community I respectfully disagree. The interface is a little clumsy, yes, but there are a lot of intellectual people on there with a range of backgrounds from controllers/processors/analog/compiler chips. I do find alot of questions answered there. The good thing about E2E is that they have the people working at TI answer questions which is very assuring. If you know your way around e2e, it is a good place to ask questions. 43oh does not have the kind of restrictions that E2E has to take care off.. as they are a company and need to watch their every reply. They are much better than the st forums which is a total nightmare to navigate and filled with broken links. JVimes 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
