Information specific to the MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter Board can be found at www.ti.com/usbexp. Customer support for MSP430 devices and the MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter Board is provided by the Texas Instruments Product Information Center (PIC), as well as on the TI E2E (Engineer-2-Engineer) Forum at the link below.
Getting Started MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter Board Introduction The MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter Board is a development platform based on the MSP430F5529 with integrated USB. The Experimenter Board showcases the abilities of the latest family of MSP430s and is perfect for learning and developing USB-based applications using the MSP430. The features include a...
User Experience Software Introduction The MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter Board arrives with a User Experience application installed to demonstrate a few of the capabilities of the MSP430F5529. Set the power switch to "LDO", and connect your PC to the "5529 USB" connection as shown in Figure 2.
(http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/msp-exp430f5529.html). Working With the Example Software The MSP-EXP430F5529 example software is written in C and offers APIs to control the MSP430F5529 chip and external components on the MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter Board. New application development can use this library for guidance.
Figure 4. Opening Existing Project The project is now open. To build, download, and debug the code on the device on the MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter Board, select Target > Debug Active Project or click the green 'bug' button. SLAU330A – May 2011 – Revised June 2011...
Figure 5 Figure 6 show the functional blocks and connections of the MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter Board. The area of the PCB labeled as "eZ430-FET Emulator" and bordered by a thick broken line on the PCB silk screen is an integrated TI Flash Emulation Tool (FET) which is connected to the Experimenter Board by the jumpers on JP16.
Figure 6. Hardware Block Details Jumper Settings and Power Figure 7 shows the common jumper settings, depending on the power source for the MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter Board. Figure 7. Common Power Jumper Settings SLAU330A – May 2011 – Revised June 2011...
PCB for current consumption measurement. JP7 – SYS PWR Provides power to the entire MSP-EXP430F5529 board. Also MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter used to measure current consumption of the entire board. Board system devices are not powered.
Figure 8 shows a visual diagram of the power connections for the MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter Board. Care should be observed when using multiple power sources such as USB and a battery at the same time. This could lead to the battery being charged if the power settings are not correct.
MSP-EXP430F5529 Hardware www.ti.com Figure 9 shows a method of connecting a multi-meter to the MSP-EXP430F5529 to measure the current of the MSP430F5529. Figure 9. MSP430 Current Measurement Connection eZ-FET Emulator The connection between the eZ-FET emulator and the MSP-EXP430F5529 can be opened by removing the jumpers on JP16.
4.4.4 eZ430-RF2500T Interface The eZ430-RF2500T module can be attached to the MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter Board in one of two ways – through an 18-pin connector (J12 – eZ RF) or a 6-pin connector (J13 – eZ RF Target). The pins on the eZ430-RF2500T headers are multiplexed with the pins on the CC-EM headers, which allows the EZ430-RF2500T module to behave identically to a CC-EM daughterboard.
4.4.6 Pin Access Headers The MSP-EXP430F5529 Experimenter Boards includes three headers (J4, J5, and J12) that can be used as additional connections to external hardware or for signal analysis during firmware development. All pins except the GND pin are internally selectable as either general purpose input/output pins or as described in the device datasheet.
(3.3 V) to batteries (~3 V) could drastically reduce the contrast. Fortunately, the LCD driver supports adjustable contrast. The specific instruction can be found in the LCD user's guide. The MSP-EXP430F5529 software also provides the function to adjust the contrast using the wheel (see Section 2.8).
