CCS/MSP430G2553: Two MSP430G2553 UART Communication

Hello,

Sorry for my late reply but I have been distracted with other aspects of the project I am currently working on. For the code example from MSP430Ware would I be able to manipulate it in order for one MSP430 to request the other MSP430 to send an array of characters. For example, for my project I would like the MSP430 to respond with a total of 6 bytes. The first two being a start flag. The third byte contains the message length, the fourth containing the version of the specific message, the fifth containing the type identifier of the message, the sixth being the end flag. I want to take this frame format and place it in an array of characters then have these characters be sent to the MSP430 that requests them form the other MSP430. I hope I made this clear enough and not confusing. Thank you.

Hello,

There are plenty of resources and examples online of how to send an array of characters using an MSP430 Launchpad. Try a few of these:
