MSP430 Value Line LaunchPad project tutorial -- Blink on-board LEDs

[Luicho666]

Can you tell me how long is the delay? Thank you very much.

[squeakyfromme69]

ccs with the launchpad is actually pretty nice. you can run to breakpoints and step through your code while the uC is in circuit. big win over the arduino, imo. if only the arduino had a launchpad-like compiler...

[pietzeekoe]

coding looks like a bitch...anyone know a aduino-like compiler?

8:08 Bent pins, just breaks my heart :(

Good but>

Let down by poor quality video a bit.

Also the code gets an error 7: 51 above.

Nothing said about a need th change form the out the box pre programmed chip.

Very nice tutorial thanks!

I keep getting the error "No USB FET was found" after I click the debug button.

When I google the keywords all i get are TI FET devices. Followed the video second by second and i repeated all steps.

Any ideas?

[ebichuhamster]

nvm it wasn't connected correctly...

[stopsistem]

how can i program the device directly withthe msp430 usb programmer? thanks

[rakeshprab1]

thank u.. i can develop more now...

[thepimping666]

A really nice walk thru

thanks ;)

Price is not everything. If TI really wants to "launch this pad" they should make programming it as simple as possible. Making it as simple to program as the Basic Stamp or Arduino or Mindstorms NXP would really expand the market.

@butchalline i totally agree. At least have more documentation-there is virtually nothing out there bout it!

[vizier87]

@thewii552 i feel you bro. fossicking for references is a frickin' pain. Look into the e2e community and they discuss things in a whole different language. Doesn't help for starters like me.

this video is 2000% more professional than the others. btw great job on the kit guys! thanks for bringing such a cheap and feature rich product to the public.

Oh so you write the led on then the delay causes it to stop temp? as i can do motor controll that way XD

[fisherdsMobAcDesign]

I like it. I'm a professor and I plan to switch my college course from Microchip's MPLAB + PIC18F4520 PICDEM PLUS board to TI because of LaunchPad. I've been very impressed with MSP430 devices, the free Code Composer Studio tool (16k limit is no problem), and TI's University program. I also really like that the Subclipse plugin works flawlessly in CCS with our SVN system.

looks complicated , I will like something as simple as

while(1) {

output_high(pin_P1);

delay_ms(1000);

output_low(pin_P1);

delay_ms(1000);

}

I think it can be as good as the arduino if they work on their libraries.

@scancool Ardwino is custom this AINT also did i meet u on the duct tape server thing didnt i? im ordering one of these ^^ 4.30 = my price range
