Nolan 1 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Ok, we're getting somewhere now... Have you re-verified the COM port for the application UART? If so, I dunno, maybe reboot for kicks... Also try a Blink example to make sure the MSP430 is indeed being programmed. Sounds like you've had to go through a lot of the basics here but I bet success is a step or 2 away... Sorry I could not respond yesterday. I got caught up in other work. The blink LED and dim LED examples both run fine on the board. I have rebooted my computer, would re-installing the boards original firmware (if possible) help?

Something's mucked up there with the serial stuff. Not sure what it is. Can you post a pic of the LP in its current state? Maybe something obvious I'm missing...

spirilis 1,265 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 http://tinypic.com/r/w851qx/8 Looks right from here. Can you try programming one of those serial examples, then instead of using serial monitor use Putty to connect to the COM port? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can you try programming one of those serial examples, then instead of using serial monitor use Putty to connect to the COM port? Success!!! I am now back tracking to find out which of the things worked since i foolishly tried multiple things at once. I am now able to (using your code from above) see the text numbers appearing in the Energia COM5 serial monitor without needing puTTY. Once I figure this out, do you mind if i type a summary of what we tried so that others in the same situation can run through the steps faster? It would of course include a link back to this blog and give full credit to you for all of the ideas. Thank you for your time. I will definitely be using this blog site in the future for more help. spirilis 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
