MSP430 with CC2530

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO, ENERGIA

I have the MSP430G2553 on the launchpad and a CC2530DK_EM on an EM Adapter BoosterPack (BOOST-CCEMADAPTER). I was wondering what is the best way to code these devices. Should I be using CCStudio or Energia, and where can I find more information about programming these devices so they can use Zigbee communication?

Hi Ryan,

If you want to just get something working quickly Energia will work for you. With Engergia you can use all of the example code found online for Arduino, which makes it very easy to get started. With CCS you have more flexibility to do more, but you will need to be a bit more familiar with microcontrollers. CCS also has a code size limit unless you purchase a license.

Here is a link to several software stacks for ZigBee: http://www.ti.com/tool/z-stack

It also includes some application notes at the bottom of the page that should help get you started.

I would familiarize yourself with these user's guides as well: http://www.ti.com/general/docs/litabsmultiplefilelist.tsp?literatureNumber=swru191f
