MSP430 writing IR in NEC format

Hello!

Unfortunately there is no miracle method because there is no IR engine in MSP430.
There is an IRDA, but this is different.

Note that Google is your friend:

Now for the particular implementation on MSP430, what I do is as follows:
- Configure a timer based on SMCLK to generate a square 38 KHz wave (can be easily
  started and stopped using OUTMOD).
- Configure another timer based on ACLK to generate your bit encodings.
  Usually, on all the remote controls I have experienced, a 0 is made of 2 equal
  periods: 1 period with pulses and one period with no pulses. And a 1 is made of
  2 periods, one being generally double of the second one.

The good thing about using pwm timers is that at least you don't need to interrupt
all the time to generate 38 kHz pulses (in this case, you should interrupt at 76
kHz, and toggle the putout). What you do is set the 38 kHz wave and clear it.
Therefore one interrupt every 560 µs at most.
I haven't found any smarter way to do it.

Have fun!

The MSP430FR413x chips has IR modulation Logic. There are many IR remote control examples for FR4133 LunchPad and Infrared (IR) BoosterPack Plug-in Module
