asgard20032 9 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Unfortunately, i just ordered my capacitive touch and IR booster pack few day before christmas (and all my other booster pack and launcpad for the year). From what i saw in the datasheet, TI did a great job at simplifying IR. I never tought it would be that simple. Still haven't looked yet at capacitive touch module. Anyone here have played with capacitive module yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirilis 1,264 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I played with the CapTouch module on the Wolverine which the FR4133's is based on I think. It does a decent job simplifying captouch stuff IMO. Sent from my Galaxy Note II with Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
veryalive 49 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The MSP-FET looks very interesting to me.... 60% off $115 is $46 price for this?!? >>>> Here is A REQUEST FROM A KNOWLEDGEABLE USER please? >>>>> Is this FET unit the latest / greatest MSP debug tool on available from Texas Instruments today ? I've read the forum posts and FETs, in general, seem to get great ratings across the board / CCS compatible / etcetera. ( to self: Is it time to buy an MSP-FET ?) Cheers !

spirilis 1,264 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yes the MSP-FET is the highest-end flash emulation tool for the MSP430 today. The reality is if you only need Spy-Bi-Wire, and don't care about selectable Vcc voltage levels, the FR5969 LaunchPad gets you 90% of the way there feature-wise.

veryalive 49 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Thank you ! I did not realize this about the FR5969 launchpad, thanks. <<< EDIT --- now checking that FR5969 !!!!! >> Interesting for me. Variable Vcc. Blow the fuse. (Others TBD?). Possible upgradeable with TI firmware (don't know). So, the MSP FET it is at that price. << but still checking the FR5969 >>>> FWIW - to confirm other folks' observations: - shipping cost is now included. To bad, but it was bound to happen - the discount code works - and deducts - right on the first page of ordering on MyTI - I like the new look of the TI online shopping page. Thanks you @@spirilis O Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If i search on google captouch msp430, it only spit out result about pcb design & RC technique for getting capacitive input. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you're generally familiar with the timer peripherals et al it's not too complicated (although this might be all relative ) Sent from my Galaxy Note II with Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
asgard20032 9 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I was more talking about application note and other document like that that give a quick overall preview of how it work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kodi 16 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Finally the FET is MINE (shipping was as always FAST - 2 days from US to Ireland - however they charged $21 for shipping this time). veryalive 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kodi 16 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I know It's not a deal any more, but TI started to charge shipping for Launchpads/booster packs. So for Ireland it's $21. They still don't charge for samples, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
