MSP430 F5529 USB coding on the Windows side

Curtis Abbott

Hi - I've downloaded and installed the HID demo app source code on Visual Studio Express (the free one) version 10, ie the latest. The demo app won't compile or link for me in this environment, and I think this is because I'm too cheap to pay for the full version of VS and the demo app depends on MFC, which isn't shipped with VS Express. Now I tried referencing include and link libraries from the windows DDK but these are version 4.2 of MFC, which predates the demo app by several years.

My question, for any of the developers doing the PC side of this USB work: have I got this right? Or is there a clever way to get VS Express working with the HID USB demo app? If there is, I'd appreciate the recipe.

I have been searching for the HID Demo Visual Studio code, and it appears that TI has moved away from it in favor of Java. Can post the VS files?

The current demo application is based on Java. See this thread: http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/msp430/f/166/p/248567/869742.aspx

Visual Studio Express 2010 does not directly support MFC nor WPF.

I know the current demo is in Java. The Java demo has 2 issues. The first, the product I am updating with new hardware was originally developed using Visual Studios. And the second, The Java demo does not work.

I found the HidDemo.jar and double clicked it and my system did nothing. I then download JRE 1.7 to see if that would help. It still does not work.

I would like to get the demo to work. But I would also li9ke to see what might be needed to get my Visual Studio code working as well.

Jim,

My reply was directed at the original poster of the thread. I have seen in the past your posts regarding Win7 platform.
