Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CAPTIVATE-PGMR
Hello,
I'm designing a device using MSP430FR2533 and some CapTIvate buttons. I would like to use CapTIvate Design Center to monitor and tune buttons behaviour. I have few questions regarding the connection between the target MSP and the PC where Design Center runs:
- Which UART shall be used to communicate between target MCU and Desing Center ? The Design Center GUI allows selecting just "UART" but no way to specify UCA0 or UCA1. I could not find any documentation about it in the device datasheet or CapTIvate docs.
- I suppose that an external USB-UART cable shall be used to phisically connect the PC running Design Center and the target board. Is it correct ? How I specify in Design Center the related COM port where the MSP uart pins are connected ?
- This is a general question: what is the intended usage of I2C Communication Interface selectable in Design Center GUI ? how I connect a PC using I2C ? Probably there is something I'm missing about this aspect.
Thanks and best regards
