In this post the final version of the transmitter will be introducedThe transmission of the data is performed inside the Timer1 interrupt routine. Timer1 is initialized to run at 100 us by the following code // TimerA1 UpMode Configuration Param...
This post has been in my evernote for a week now due to internet issues at home. I will have another update in a day or two. I may not get all the parts in time so I am moving to plan B to make the prototype using the EVAL Module. Never the less, I a...
This road kit test includes LEDs, a high power LED driver and an MSP430FR4133 launchpad. I want to incorporate most of these items in a system that showcases a practical application. Finally I have received enough components to implement this system....
The TDC1000-TDC7200EVMTDC1000-TDC7200EVM evaluation module has 4 main parts The TDC1000 analog front-end and a pre-programmed MSP430 microcontroller on the board, a 1MHz Piezo Ceramic sensor that plugs into the board and a GUI client for on you...
The website wouldn't let me attach it directly to the roadtest, I hope the moderators can do so . Roadtest link: http://www.element14.com/community/roadTests/1478 ScoringProduct Performed to Expectations:6Specifications were sufficient to d...
The real excitement is started and I am really excited about this, yes I have started creating my project and it's in progress. I just wanted to do a beta version of my project before go for main stream, the result was pretty amazing, exactly wha...
In this post we will see some specs about the MSP430FR133 Timers, because a timer will generate the PWM signal that drives the LED There are two instances of Timer_A that you can use (i.e. Timer_A is not actually a single timer, but two timers – 0 an...
To start developing my app on the LaunchPad, the first thing to do is to install the TI Code Composer Studio (CCS)The setup can be downloaded from TI websitehttp://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS The installation is very simple and...
NOTE!!! After 7 months the sensor has died.The first symptoms were erratic reads. The comment below was to try and stabilize the readings. Sorry but I will stick to the cheap ones that have worked for years.The TI HDC1000EVMHDC1000E...
The next phase of this road test involves using the MSP EXP430FR4133 Launchpad in a related application. I will be trying to set it up as an ultrasonic distance meter, using the on-board LCD to display distance out to about 21 feet.There is an on-goi...
After deciding how to transmit the preamble and the bit, in this post I will explain how I want to transmit a byte.Since I expect to be in front of a very noisy channel, I will adopt a error-detection-and-correction code like the Hamming 7,4 The nota...
The whole project proposed in this roadtest is based on a particular technology used in CMOS camera sensors: Rolling Shutter Global shutters, which are commonly implemented on CCD sensors (although CMOS variants exist), expose all pixels on the...
It was an exciting journey of learning for last 8 days or so, My first hands-on experience went smooth with MSP-EXP430FR4133MSP-EXP430FR4133 along with Code Composer Studio learning curve. Before we go to further details of what I was doing and did u...
The selfie phenomenon has gone completely viral, it is probably the most common type of photograph taken today. This blog will explore a little bit how LEDs might play a role in this ubiquitous phenomenon and a little more generally how LEDs affect p...
The TPS92512EVM-001TPS92512EVM-001 evaluation module (EVM) helps designers evaluate the operation and performance of the TPS92512HV buck switching regulator designed for high-current LED-drive applications. The TPS92512HV device is designed to contro...
Intro Its been the holiday week all last week with Diwali and stuff and family gatherings and such hence the delayed post. My focus has been on the shopping list since it usually takes LOOOOONG to get the needed parts and I have been successful ...
Another phase of this road test deals with power LEDs. I wanted to publish something to show progress in this area and I finally have enough parts to build an initial demonstration.This blog covers preliminary connection of the TI TPS92512EVM-001TPS9...
One objective of this road test is to present application ideas for interactive LED illumination to spark ideas and interest in people reading this blog. So far I have mostly been demonstrating 3D printed objects, but not everyone has access to a 3D ...
1. Box arrived, looked big but its the same size as an iphone 6 (MMB0) with the EVM 1262 being not much bigger than an arduino. 2. I found the software easy to install as well as the plug ins, I gave up on my mac, i wasted more ti...
