jbanik 0 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hi, I am trying to connect two MSP430G2553 launchpads (in order to program/control) to a single computer. I thought it would be a simple task, but something is not going right. Do I have to run two instances of Energia (by running the program twice), or I can switch COM interfaces within the same instance. I guess someone must have tried it... please share your experience, or some pointer to online resources are welcome as well. I understand, my question sounds a bit vague, and confusing. Please let me know, if you require additional information to answer it. Thank you in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner84 466 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Is far as I know, you basically CAN'T program multiple launchpads this way using Energia. The COM port you select in Energia is just for the console interface, the programming interface is not visible as a COM port. The driver just selects the first FET it finds. You could either use a gang programmer, but then you can't use serial, or make one launchpad act as a programming hub, while using the serial interfaces over USB. Note that in such a case you'd have to remove the RESET and TEST jumpers from the slave Launchpads, since you'll be connecting these to the hub using jumper wires. energia 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
