Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR5994, MSP430WARE, MSP-EXP430FR5969, BOOSTXL-AUDIO
Basic question: Is there a demo/launchpad for the BoostXL-Sharp128? I am new to microprocessors. I have begun working with CCS.
I have an interest in using the BoostXL-Sharp128. I was thinking I would try it in a data logging application with the MSP430FR5994 launchpad . Are they compatible? Will the 128 block the switches on the 5594?
The original Sharp96 was part of a BoosterPack that had capacitive sliders. And it was paired with the 5969. That had a stopwatch demo.The Sharp128 Booster does not appear to have the capacitive sliders. So any demos using them would not work well?
I woud very much like to make a ultra low power free pendulum clock drive with a launchpad board. I would need several timers to do do this, and a pair of phogates and a magnet coil as the drive. (The photo LEDs would be pulsed at low duty cycle and could also be turned on only when the pendulum is about to cross the photogate. )
An associated project would be to use a real time clock with data logging to see the accuracy of the clock. I would use the Sharp128 to display data, or results.
My plan is to start with the msp-exp430g2 using the training videos at https://training.ti.com/getting-started-msp430g2553-launchpad-part-1?context=1135312-24526
Should I order the MSP430FR5994 launchpad kit and the BoostXL-Sharp128 to use together as a data logger? I want low power and monochrome is fine.
Thank you for having this forum.
