Hi ,

I need a code(Method or Idea) for displaying messages in the built in LCD of MSP430 FR6989.

For eg if the method call is done it should display the (passed string to the method) messages in the LCD.

Is this achieveable ?

Thanks

Sachin

    The MSP430FR6989 chip has a builtin LCD controller. But there is no builtin LCD on the chip.

    The MSP-EXP430FR6989 board (one of the so-called LaunchPad boards) has a LCD mounted on the board and connected to the MSP430FR6989 chip, also on the board. There are example code, driver libraries, etc. all over the places.

    The MSPWare Driver Library provides some low-level routines for writing to the LCD, but doesn't provide a higher level routine similar to printf().

    In the MSP Design Workshop (LCD Chapter), we created an "lcd.c" and "lcd.h" files to provide a higher-level LCD abstraction layer. These files are implemented using DriverLib and Register Layer coding. And we 'stole' some of the code from the FR6989 and FR4133 Out-of-Box examples. Hopefully you can use the LCD lab exercise examples to get you started.

    Also, if you want to use Energia, the next release should provide an LCD API and example, which makes using the LCD quite easy.


    Take Care,
    Scott
