FDC2114EVM: FDC2114EVM

Part Number: FDC2114EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5528, FDC2114

Working with the FDC2114EVM and i would like to construct my own GUI for the eval board. my question is: is there a pretty painless way to have visual C# or VB talk to the MSP40 chip on the evaluation board. I have a simple script that i use to detect serial port COM arduino, but perhaps  not too surprisingly its not working with the FDC..EVM board. Any suggestions for the direction or the relative mess i might be getting myself into would be much appreciated

Cheers

H

    Hi H,

    Programming the MSP430 has a lot of overhead. It could take some time to get the MSP430 working, but we do have a USB Developer's Package for the MSP430F5528 (the specific MSP430 in the FDC2114EVM). There is some example code and other resources for USB design using the MSP430 which should help you get started. 

    If this takes too much effort, you could also bypass the MSP430 with a chip that can do USB to I2C conversion, then communicate directly with the FDC2114. Unfortunately TI doesn't have a chip that does this, but you could try FTDI.

    Regards,
