Receive MSP430 data in a socket or http request.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2553, ENERGIA, MSP430F5529, MSP430FR5969

Hello everyone.

So, I have a MSP430g2553. I learned yesterday how to send and receive serial data using Energia Software.

My question is: there's a way to send this same data to a socket in my pc (using or not Energia), or just do a http request without any other hardware component (using or not Energia)? My main goal is to receive a http request and do things after, but without any other hardware (a socket message is enough).

Thank you!

    Hello Dylan,

    You are looking for several things before you could make this happen. First, on the MCU side, you are looking for a Network stack that could do socket messages or HTTP requests. Most networks stacks are too large to fit within the flash of MSP430G2553. A larger MSP device such as the MSP430F5529 or MSP430FR5969 could be of use to you. Second, without some kind of networking hardware such as an Ethernet LAN or WIFI Boosterpack, you will need a program on your PC to translate serial communication to something your PC can use. With the current hardware you, your request is not possible.

    The following wifi boosterpack comes in a configuration that includes the MSP4309F5529 LaunchPad that can help you get started with your application. www.ti.com/.../cc3100boost

    Jace, thanks for your help!

    Well, sad to know that. But, just in case:

    I'm already able to send serial data to the Energia Software using only my USB. There's no way to... print this data in a socket using only Energia? Or just in any file in my pc (so I could read with other language like Ruby or Elixir), etc.

    Because, I'm not focused on how to do this, I just need to make the msp trigger a way to send a http request (the pc itself can send the http request, really).

    But, again, thanks for your reply.
