Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-FET, MSP430FE4272, MSP-GANG

I face the same problem while programming MSP430FE4272 MCU,I programmed successfully by the MSP-FET and ofcoarse by the Guang Programmer too if I set the VCC supply to " supplied by programmer" "whole range". But when I configure the device to be supplied from "External" it shows me an error 13 VCC is too low. I measured and found that the external VCC is 3.2 volt. Any solution please?

here is the snap shot of the error

Hi Getaneh,

Can you share the connections between the MSP-GANG and your target board? You need to make sure that when you are powering from the MSP-GANG that only pin 2 of the JTAG header is connected to device vcc, but when the external power is supplied that only pin 4 of the JTAG header is connected to the device Vcc. Can you confirm what is the connection?

Regards,
Katie
