Compiler/CAPTIVATE-FR2633: how to log sliderposition to uart?

Hello,

You can definitely send the data over to a terminal.

I first will recommend to use CapTIvate Design Center to visualize the position information.  

If you want to send data over UART to a terminal I recommend to check out our example project: http://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/CapTIvate_Design_Center/latest/exports/docs/users_guide/html/CapTIvate_Technology_Guide_html/markdown/ch_library.html?highlight=backchannel#using-the-driver-backchannel-uart-to-serial-terminal

This example project send the button information, if you want to know how to access slider position information please see this link in CapTIvate Technology Guide: http://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/CapTIvate_Design_Center/latest/exports/docs/users_guide/html/CapTIvate_Technology_Guide_html/markdown/ch_library.html?highlight=backchannel#access-slider-or-wheel-position-data 

Thanks,

Yiding

It now works for me with the function CAPT_getSensorPosition(&sliderSensor); it simply returns the sliderpostion.

But how can I acess all the raw data from each sliderelement?

My goal is to log sliderbehaviour over UART, because the logging from the designcenter is very slow and skips a lot of values.

I also couldn't manage to get a higher baudrate. I found this line in the uartbackchannel demo project in demo.c:  .peripheralParameters.clockPrescalar = SMCLK_FREQ_MHZ * 1000000 / 9600 / 16
but increasing the baudrate to another value didnt work. Is there any other software changes neccessary or is it limited to some sort of Hardware like an oscillator?
