MSP430F2416: Does anyone have example code for the USCIB0 in I2C master mode?

Part Number: MSP430F2416
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HDC1080

 I am trying to read a humidity sensor. The TI HDC1080 would be a great approximation. I am trying to use interrupts, but would settle for anything now. My starting point is example code by htruong on Github. 

I am still not understanding the flow for data reads

  • Hi John,

    You can reference the USCI_B0 I2C Master TX single bytes to MSP430 Slave code example and other similar examples in TI Resource Explorer.

     * concise manner. For this the code may rely on the device's power-on default

     * be taken when combining code from several examples to avoid potential side
     * effects. Also see www.ti.com/grace for a GUI- and www.ti.com/msp430ware

    //  MSP430F26x Demo - USCI_B0 I2C Master TX single bytes to MSP430 Slave
    //
    //  Description: This demo connects two MSP430's via the I2C bus. The master
    //  transmits to the slave. This is the master code. It continuously
    //  transmits 00h, 01h, ..., 0ffh and demonstrates how to implement an I2C
    //  master transmitter sending a single byte using the USCI_B0 TX interrupt.
    //  ACLK = n/a, MCLK = SMCLK = BRCLK = default DCO = ~1.045MHz
    //
    // ***to be used with "MSP430x261x_uscib0_i2c_07.c" ***
