Create custom GUIs using GUI Composer v2.0 Beta

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5529

We just released a beta version of GUI Composer v2.0 which allows you to create custom dashboards for your device.

GUI Composer:

  • Allows you to build HTML web pages graphically (simple drag & drop interface)
  • Supports communication with the target device via USB (serial I/O), XDS Debug Port or Internet (MQTT / IoT)
  • Has a wide variety of components to choose from (including graphs, gauges, dials, buttons, menus, meters) to help you visualize your application.


You can access it from the TI Cloud Tools portal: dev.ti.com.  Currently, only Chrome is supported. More browswer support will come before the end of the year.
 
We have a few tutorials that can walk you through all the steps required to create a GUI front end that interacts with your target device:

  • If you have a CC3200 LaunchPad, check out the IoT Dashboard Tutorial:
    • it shows how to display live sensor data from your target device
  • If you have an MSP430F5529 device, check out the Serial I/O Tutorial:
    • it takes the classic 'Blinky' example (the 'hello world' for MCUs) and adds a cool Web display that shows the status of the LED on your target device.

Your feedback would be welcomed.
