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

http://ti.com/LaunchPadWiki
Walk through on how to set up a simple project using the MSP430 Value Line LaunchPad Development kit, using TI's very own Eclipse-based I-D-E, Code Composer Studio version 4. Learn how to find and use the MSP430 microcontroller documentation and available code examples to help quicken your time to market! For this tutorial, we will learn how to blink the Red and Green on-board LEDs of the LaunchPad kit. Due to the simplicity of this tutorial, ANY MSP430 Value Line device can be used. Let's start by taking a closer look at the LaunchPad board...

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

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.

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

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...

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

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

@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.

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!

nvm it wasn't connected correctly...

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?

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