BOOSTXL-SENSORS: + red MSP432 board issues

Part Number: BOOSTXL-SENSORS


 I am beginning to think I have a bad sensor boosterpack. Its the exact same situation using the CCS project out of the SDK on this machine, Win 7/32 bit. Everything loads and programs just fine, drivers are fine, com ports fine, it connects but still no live data. I have to keep hitting the reset button and only get a 1 time ping of data each time I press it. And that’s just data from the 3 sensors on the right, see my screenshot. I've yet to see any other sensors become active.

I then took it to my personal Win 10/64 bit, grabbed the GUI package, launched it and its identical. I have to keep pressing reset and just get a 1 time ping and only on 3 sensors: BMI160 accelerometer, BMI160 gyroscope and BMM150 magnetometer.

The reason is the lack of the TMP007 sensor on the current BOOSTXL-SENSORS
TI forgot to install it.
TI forgot to modify the software.

You should modify the main.c file:


BOOSTXL-SENSORS \ MSP-EXP432P401R_Software_Examples_windows \ Firmware \ Source \ BOOSTXL-SENSORS_SensorGUI_MSP432P401R \ srcP401R \ main.c

206//Sensor Status Variables

207 bool BME_on = true;

208 bool BMI_on = true;

209 bool TMP_on = true;

210 bool OPT_on = true;

change to:

206//Sensor Status Variables

207 bool BME_on = true;

208 bool BMI_on = true;

209 bool TMP_on = false;

210 bool OPT_on = true;

What gives us this effect:

  • Adam,

       Thank you for showing this.  My understanding is that this is resolved in the latest SDK release.  The TMP007 is removed intentionally as described in the users guide :

    DO NOT load the Sensor Actuator Plugin from this page " " this is version 1.20.00.02.  Please go the the resource explorer page and navigate to the SimpleLink Sensor and Actuator Plugin  and download version 1.30.00.02 .

    Regards,

    Chris

  • The real TMP007 sensor is described on the Booster box.
    Do not dream about him.

    The real TMP007 sensor is described in the paper manual.

    I felt cheated after opening the box.

    Why do adafruit and aliexpres still have TMP007?

    Adam

    p.s

    The error is on the side of the transmitter and not the receiver.

  • Thank you for the feedback. I have made the tools team aware of this. Please look to the next SDK release for the example code to be updated accordingly.

    Regards,
    Chris
