CCS/MSP430F233: MSP430F233 UART RX Errrors

Hi Gabriel,
I would suggest that you confirm each part separately using an adapter and a terminal software like putty.
This will make it easier to track the problem.

I've got my code to read a stream of data by increasing my array size to try and overcome the overrun errors. I'm able to successfully read a stream of data on my RX board, but when I toggle switches, and get a new stream of data my values don't update within my RX board code. I have my TX board flashed to change with the switch toggles, but I was wondering if there would be a way in my main loop of RX board code to call my RX ISR multiple times to continuously read the new data being sent through. I've verified with an oscope that new data is coming in.

#pragma vector=USCIAB0RX_VECTOR
__interrupt void USCI0RX_ISR(void)
{
if(a < 8)
{
Read_RX_Buffer[a++] = UCA0RXBUF; // Read and store RX Buffer contents
}
else
{
for(x = 0; x < 7; x++)
{
if(Read_RX_Buffer[x] == 'first_byte_of_stream')
{
// store values
}
}
x = 0; // Reset Array counter
}
IFG2 &= ~UCA0RXIFG; // Clear RX IFG
}

> x = 0; // Reset Array counter
Typo alert: I suspect you meant:
> a = 0; // Reset Array counter
