sven222 1 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hello all together, I am a new owner of the MSP430 launchpad. Like so many, I started Microcontroller with Arduino, I was playing around up to now with ATTinys and Megas. The MSP430 is interessting for me because of the low power functions. I want to work with CCS6 on a Linux Mint. Right now, my first project with the MSP430 will be a brainmachine, only to learn the handling of the chip. That will be challenging, because i will need three different frequencies, and I want to achive this with the MSP430G2552 that has only 2 Timers. Greetings, Sven Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirilis 1,265 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Welcome! I was in the same boat, an Arduino user messing with ATmegas. I got an MSP430G2 launchpad as an order stuffer from Mouser and almost signed it off 'cause I couldn't figure out how to make it work on MacOSX... then found a tutorial and when I gave it a closer look found the clocking and interrupt handling quite interesting, and kept playing. Never looked back since. Sent from my Galaxy Note 10.1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oppa 1 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I recommend using Eclipse, GNU compiler, mspdebug and the fine Eclipse plugin by xpg. You run Mint already so most of this is just a sudo apt-get install away. Enjoy ! Gr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sven222 1 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Thanks all for the nice welcome. Because of gcc and stuff for Linux, maybe later, in the moment, I first want to know about the chip. If I then get comfortable, than maybe I change over to the gnu side.
