Energia. Where do I get documentation?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGIA, MSP430WARE

Hello!

I'm trying to use Energia as a way to teach to an Arduino user.

I'm using the FR5994 board, and I found a tutorial somewhere, saying that the board's red led

can be accessed with the definition RED_LED. I tried the blink code, and it works.

Now, where can I find definitions for other items. For instance, let's suppose that I want to use

UCA0 in SPI mode. What would be the configuration?

I checked in Energia's examples. There are serial examples, but none of these specifies

which port is used.

Beside this, for example if I want to set P2.5 high, how do I do? All the examples are with RED_LED,

GREEN_LED, but what about a port / pin chosen randomly like P2.5?

Any hint about how to proceed?

Thanks,

Pascal

    Hi Pascal,

    Sorry, as I check, we don't have any more example codes for FR5994 on ENERGIA. It only have for F5529. It will be really hard for you to build your own project.

    I would ask you try to use MSP430Ware or build the code based on F5529.

    Hello!

    Thanks for your reply!

    Only 5529? In this case, what's the meaning of the energia file menu? In examples, tt clearly says "Examples for MSP-EXP430FR5994LP"

    which is exactly  what's written on my board, except the final "LP". But I suppose it's the same board and LP stands for Launch Pad.

    Sorry, I am not quite familiar with Energia. Can you show me where I can find the "Examples for MSP-EXP430FR5994LP". Then I can help you to check whether you can modify the low-level code.

    Hello!

    I opened the menu like you show above. As you can see, there are 3 areas,

    built-in examples, examples for any board, and examples for MSP_EXP430FR5994LP

    which is the board currently connected to my Mac.

    By the way, is the Energia project dead? The last updates are almost 3 years old.

    And beside this, back to my question. For example, if I want to toggle P1.4, how should

    I do? In the Arduino environment, all the pins are numbered, but on launchpads, they

    just have port names. What should I do if I want to use for example UCB0 in SPI mode?

    Well, I can write my own library using regular MSP430 register access, but I guess this

    has already been done, right?

    Best regards,

    Pascal

    Here is what I can see on my Energia. It is different.

    Here is my version on windows. Can you double check.

    Yes, this project is dead. As I know, there is no plan to make any update on this platform.

    You can refer to this:

    And find this:

    Hope it can help you. Maybe you even need to change the default library.
