ADS1293EVM: How to Retrieve ECG Data from ADS1293EVM via USB Without Using TI GUI?

Part Number: ADS1293EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1293

Tool/software:

I am trying to retrieve ECG data directly from the ADS1293EVM without using the TI GUI. My goal is to create a custom interface (e.g., a Python program) to read data from the board over USB.

I understand that the EVM’s onboard MSP430 handles USB communication, but it seems that the default firmware is tightly integrated with the TI GUI. I’ve read conflicting answers regarding bypassing or modifying the MSP430 to allow direct communication.

Is it possible to use the existing MSP430 firmware to access ECG data via USB (e.g., CDC, HID, or Bulk)?

I’d prefer to avoid hardware modifications (e.g., desoldering) and stick with software changes, if possible.

Thank you,

Alejandro

  • Hi Alejandro,

    Thank you for your interest in our ADS1293. Unfortunately, our support for the EVM platform is limited to providing the MCU firmware and PC GUI as-is. This is meant to allow customers to interact with the core IC in a way which facilitates their familiarity with the device features and performance. Any HW/SW modifications to enable direct communication via another program cannot be supported by our team.

    Best regards,

    Ryan
