Compiler/MSP430FG4618: msp430fg4618

Part Number: MSP430FG4618
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430WARE

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

dear sir

We are using msp430fg4618 device for a project where we have to give an analog signal from signal generator to the input of the msp device. But we don't know about the pins of msp430 where we will connect the wires output of the signal generator.

please suggest me about the input output pins of msp430fg4618 and if possible provide me a photograph showing the input output pins for analog signal.

thanks.

    Hello,

    Please see the MSP430FG4618 datasheet. Please see section 4 for pin-out of the devices in the different packages. The User Guide for the device describes how to use each module. You can find some example code for each device/module within MSP430Ware . MSP430ware is available via an independent download, with CCS under TI Resource Explorer, or via the cloud TI Resource Explorer at www.dev.ti.com .

    More than likely, you are looking for the ADC Module.

    Dear sir,

    we are working on a project related to msp430 microcontroller and we need to generate a radioactive signal that we will use for our project ,so can u please suggest some softwares from where we are able to generate a radioactive signal and if possible please provide some links to download the softwares

    Hello Subhadip,

    I assume here that you meant radio signals? If you need actual radio communications, please see our wide range of wireless MCUs + Radios that could help you. Some of these are standalone, some require MSP430 attached to it, and others are MSP430s with radios integrated. www.ti.com/.../overview.page

    If you just need a spurious signal, then all you have to do is divide down a clock to the frequency of interest, output said clock to its corresponding GPIO, and attach this to an antenna of some kind. It maybe a weak signal, but ti should cause some kind of interference if close enough to target.

    sir,

    Thanks for your reply but i have to write a C program to generate a radioactive signal and that c program should run in IAR embedded workbench so can u please give me or suggest me a c program that will generate a radioactive signal .

    What do you mean by "radioactive"? It really depends on what kind of flux and environment. If you are merely simulating a Geiger counter, you can simply create a very short pulse at random times:

    psuedocode:

    float probability = 0.5

    loop:

    if getfloatrand > 0.5

       turnOnOutputPin

       delay 1 microsecond

      turnOffOutputPin

    endif

    goto loop
