CCS/MSP430F5529: Code Composer Studio™ forum

thank you for this reply. I did get it working now.....i'll add the code I ended up using and a picture from the logic analyzer to show the results I got. I don't know what happened to the pics I tried to add last time. My next question may be a little off topic but would u know how I would be able to get that result into a 16 bit value?

 * MSP430 code examples are self-contained low-level programs that typically
 * demonstrate a single peripheral function or device feature in a highly

 * register values and settings such as the clock configuration and care must
 * 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

//  MSP430F552x Demo - USCI_B0 I2C Master RX multiple bytes from MSP430 Slave
//
//  Description: This demo connects two MSP430's via the I2C bus. The slave
//  transmits to the master. This is the MASTER CODE. It continuously
//  receives an array of data and demonstrates how to implement an I2C
//  master receiver receiving multiple bytes using the USCI_B0 TX interrupt.
//  ACLK = n/a, MCLK = SMCLK = BRCLK = default DCO = ~1.045MHz
//
// ***to be used with "MSP430F55xx_uscib0_i2c_11.c" ***
