here i did not understand the role of TACCTL1, FirstADCVal, ADCDeltaOn. and also why ADCDeltaOn is set to 3?

please help.

    Hi,

    For TACCTL1, you should see the 2xx user guide www.ti.com/lit/pdf/slau144 particularly the section on the Timer A module.

    Most of this information is somewhat touched on in the comments at the top of the code:

    GURU MOORTHY said:
    // Description: se ADC10 and the integrated temperature sensor to detect
    // temperature gradients. The temperature sensor output voltage is sampled
    // ~ every 120ms and compared with the defined delta values using an ISR.
    // (ADC10OSC/4)/64 determines sample time which needs to be greater than
    // 30us for temperature sensor.
    // ADC10 is operated in repeat-single channel mode with the sample and
    // convert trigger sourced from Timer_A CCR1. The ADC10IFG at the end
    // of each converstion will trigger an ISR.

    as well as in the comments where FirstADCVal and ADCDeltaOn are defined:

    GURU MOORTHY said:

    static unsigned int FirstADCVal; // holds 1st ADC result

    #define ADCDeltaOn 3 // ~ 2 Deg C delta for LED on

    So putting this all together, you'll see that TACCTL1 is the timer trigger being used to trigger the ADC conversions.

    FirstADCVal is a variable where the first ADC reading at the beginning of code execution is stored. After we have stored the first ADC value, we want to turn the LED on whenever the temperature increases more than a certain preset amount to detect the temperature gradient (as mentioned in the comments at the top of the code) - this preset amount is whatever we have set for ADCDeltaOn. So in the ADC ISR, we compare the ADC value that was just measured to FirstADCVal+ADCDeltaOn - if the measured value is greater, the LED is turned on, else it is turned off. In this case ADCDeltaOn was set to 3 ADC counts, which is about 2 degrees C in this case (from the comment).

    I hope this helps to clear this up.

    Regards,

    Katie

    SHS_1 selects a timer's compare output signal for triggering conversion. On your MSP, it is TACCR1.OUT, so the TACCR1 PWM signal triggers the conversions. (you don't need to output it to a pin, the connection is internal)

    FirstADCVal holds the very first conversion result. That is the temperature right after power-on. ADCDeltaOn is a trigger level. If a future conversion result is by ADCDeltaOn larger than the initial value (menaing the temperature has increased, where an increase of 3 counts is a temperature change of ~2°C), the LED is switched on. Once temperature is back to normal, the LED is switched off.
