MSP430FR6047: Help for quick start of evm

Part Number: MSP430FR6047

Hello guys

My name is William, and I recently bought the EVM430FR6047 for water flow measurement. I've done the basics parameters with the USS design center program and try using, but It didn't work well. On error window, It says that there's no signal coming from the sensors. I connected them to the CH0 and CH1 pins, with their grounds properly connected too. 

Did I miss something? Do I need to upload some code to the board, or it's already programmed and ready to use? Thank you.

Best regards.

  • Hi William

    That may be the configuration problem. You can refer  to the configure file attached

  • Hello Gary

    Sorry to take so long to answer. I've tried using the file you sent, but It didn't work either. It keeps showing the same error. May that be a wrong jumper configuration?

  • Hi William

    Sorry for the late replay. For the set up problem here are some useful information for you, I think that will solve your problem.

    (1) 1.1 Basic Setup

    (2) 3.1 Required Hardware and Software

    (3) 2 Test Setup and Configuration

  • Thank you very much, the parameters I was using were wrong.
