I am facing a problem with the serial monitor while using energia. The launchpad has MSP430g2553 controller.The serial monitor does not display anything nor does it take any input. How to change the jumpers for RX and TX on launchpad?

If you have older version of launchpad then you will have to use cross jumpers or female to female wires for making the connections. In the J3 jumper section you need to cross connect the TXD and RXD pin. If you have a newer version of launchpad then on the launchpad itself there are two positions of jumpers displayed. The position for hardeware UART is horizontal unlike the vertical ones. Also while using energia you have to set baud rate to 9600. I read this somewhere on their website that the usb can support only that much rate.

Actually, The TUSB USB/serial chip supports much more, but this is used for the debug connection to the FET. The 'application UART' is a software-simulated secondary UART and it indeed only supports up to 9600Bd.
