UART Communication using msp430f2131

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F2131, MAX3221

Hi Guys

i am new to coding with timsp430

I am trying to have a UART interface at p1.2 and p1.3 of msp430f2131

I am tried out with this echo code but it seems I am not get any timer interrupt it seems

 

here is my code

  • I recommend that you look at the code example "fet140_ta0-ta1_uart2400.c" in the following zip file:
    http://www.ti.com/lit/zip/slac015

    It shows you how to configure the Timer when Px.2 & Px.3 is used instead of Px.1 & Px.2

  • hi

    thanks for the reply

     I believe I am doing the same thing (just have a look at my code)

    The thing is when I tried to debug using emulator the code got stuck at the end of tx_byte();

    I am not sure whether its going into isr as I was not allowed to put a break point inside the isr.

    regards

    rahul

  • HI again

     

    I am using the sample code from the code example for msp430x21x1

    the file name is msp430x21x1_ta_uart9600_1MHz.c

    I am just doint it on p1.2 and p1.3

    instead of p1.1 and p2.2

    I just modified the p1sel and p1dir from the sample code.Do i need to do anything else.

    I just wanted to rxd on p1.3 and txd on p1.2

    when I debug (in emulation) I get stuck in the txbyte() function.

    Please help me out as I am new to this.

    again here is the code snippet
