earthbound 0 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hi, I'm trying to read analog values from a SHARP IR sensor GP2Y0A41SK0F using the MSP430F5529 launchpad. There was not any error when I verified and uploaded the codes in Energia. However, when I clicked on the Serial Monitor, nothing showed up. But when I chose the MSP430G2452 from the "Tools" menu, the monitor successfully showed the analog values. I connect Vcc (red wire) to 5 V pin, the ground (black wire) to GND pin, and the analog output (white wire) to P6.4 pin/A4 pin. The same thing also happened to the MSP430G2553 launchpad. It only works when MSP430G2452 is selected. I looked at the codes very thoroughly but I couldn't see any mistakes: const int IR = A4; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { int maxVal = 0, minVal = 1024, n=200; float x_i, total=0, mean; for (int i=1; i <= n; i++) { x_i = analogRead(IR); total += x_i; Serial.println(x_i); if (x_i < minVal) { minVal = x_i; } if (x_i > maxVal) { maxVal = x_i; } } mean = total / n; Serial.print("minimum = "); Serial.print(minVal); Serial.print(", maximum = "); Serial.print(maxVal); Serial.print(", total = "); Serial.print(total); Serial.print(", mean = "); Serial.println(mean); delay(100); } Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirilis 1,265 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I don't know anything about the sharp IR sensor, but be aware the MSP430 cannot tolerate 5V voltage levels. It will damage the chip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
