none 7 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 In 2006, TI held a contest with the http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/EZ430-F2013 development tool. The contest site was http://designmsp430.com, now defunct, i.e., forwarding to the TI wiki. I've taken the liberty to list all the projects from archive.org on http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MSP430_eZ_Design_Contest, the problem is, the contest entries were never linked directly but via a login, which is why the files were not accessible by any robots/spiders and so were not archived. Since the Launchpad has spawned new interest in MSP430 projects, it's a pity they're not available anymore. Maybe some of you have some of those files? Maybe someone has a good connection to TI folks who could post those files somewhere? bluehash and zeke 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bluehash 1,581 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 none, I have a TI contact whom I could request. If I don't get back with an update, just bump this thread up. Impressive work, I just went through the listing. The pdf links to the oscilloscope, unfortunately have gone down. Maybe NJC has a copy of it. I should PM him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
none 7 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 If I remember correctly it was just a matter of using a csv -> wiki syntax converter. I would not have done it without one.. The link to the backup PDF came from here http://www.43oh.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=76 maybe that thread even triggered my search for the contest projects. It's good to hear that you can contact someone about this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hello none, TI came back to us saying that this page has everything. They unfortunately could not give any data right away, but said they were looking into it. gatesphere 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
none 7 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 Sorry, I missed your post. The link you gave is the one the original domain is directing to. While some of the original or similar projects are there, it is not complete (by far, just compare with the list I made from the archived original site). Maybe you can retry, they would just need to dump an archive with the project files somewhere, letting 'the community' sort it out is the cheapest :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I did ask them again. Unfortunately, that is all they have. Also the wayback machine failed to archive the site as it needed a login. A great treasure is lost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
