Trouble with I2C on MSP430F5529

Hey guys,

I'm having a little trouble getting I2C set up on my MSP430F5529. I'm attempting to send commands to a Newhaven LCD using the TI example "MSP430F55xx_uscib0_i2c_08.c". The address of my LCD is 0x50. Also, the LCD has command prefixes of 0xFE. I'm attempting to turn on the LCD with the command 0x41 and then just write "C" with 0x43. However, the LCD is not receiving the commands. The code I'm using is below.

I also have an oscilloscope hooked up to the Data and Clock lines. Through experimentation, I've noticed that with "WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD; // Stop WDT" in the code, there is no activity on the Data or Clock line. However, with that line removed, I can see the address of the slave being sent over and over again.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

#include <msp430.h>

unsigned char *PTxData;                     // Pointer to TX data
unsigned char TXByteCtr;

const unsigned char TxData[] =              // Table of data to transmit
{
  0xFE,
  0x41,
  0x43};

int main(void)
{
  unsigned int i;

  WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD;                 // Stop WDT
  P3SEL |= 0x03;                            // Assign I2C pins to USCI_B0
  UCB0CTL1 |= UCSWRST;                      // Enable SW reset
  UCB0CTL0 = UCMST + UCMODE_3 + UCSYNC;     // I2C Master, synchronous mode
  UCB0CTL1 = UCSSEL_2 + UCSWRST;            // Use SMCLK, keep SW reset
  UCB0BR0 = 12;                             // fSCL = SMCLK/12 = ~100kHz
  UCB0BR1 = 0;
  UCB0I2CSA = 0x50;                         // Slave Address is 048h
  UCB0CTL1 &= ~UCSWRST;                     // Clear SW reset, resume operation
  UCB0IE |= UCTXIE;                         // Enable TX interrupt

  while (1)
  {
    for(i=0;i<10;i++);                      // Delay required between transaction
    PTxData = (unsigned char *)TxData;      // TX array start address
                                            // Place breakpoint here to see each
                                            // transmit operation.
    TXByteCtr = sizeof TxData;              // Load TX byte counter

    UCB0CTL1 |= UCTR + UCTXSTT;             // I2C TX, start condition
    
    __bis_SR_register(LPM0_bits + GIE);     // Enter LPM0, enable interrupts
    __no_operation();                       // Remain in LPM0 until all data
                                            // is TX'd
    while (UCB0CTL1 & UCTXSTP);             // Ensure stop condition got sent
  }
}
