I am trying to understand how to do basic I2C with the MSP430F169. I have lots of example code, and I have looked through all the datasheets I can find, but there are still a lot of things I can't find. For example, I can't find what goes into the I2CTCTL register. I have found it listed in the datasheet, but it does not break down what goes into it. I know from some example code that I2CSTT and I2CSTP go into it, but I am not totally sure what they do. I would like to read some documentation where it explains what all of those registers do. I don't like just looking at the examples, I prefer to be able to learn from the very beginning, and I know there must be documentation out there explaining what things like I2CSTT do, otherwise how would someone know to write that in their code without copying it from some other example code.
If anyone can please point me in the direction of some documentation that shows the function of all of the USART0 I2C registers, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if anyone can provide me with an EXTREMELY SIMPLE example of just reading one byte of data from a slave, that would help out a lot too. Thank you. Also please please please don't just respond to this saying what I2CSTT and I2CSTP do, that isn't the point of this, what I really want is to find the documentation that explains that, along with the many other I2C things I see in the example code.
