FDC1004-Q1: Firmware/Driver for I²C init and commnication available

Part Number: FDC1004-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: FDC1004, MSP430FR2475, MSP430WARE

Tool/software:

is there any C-code (driver) available for the I²C communication with the FDC1004 which is recommended for the init and the general communication with the chip? I can't find it even in the eval module  MSP430 code is used that seems to work somehow. 

What are the license conditions for such code?

Is there a general disclaimer for this device for medical safety related applications?

Best regards,

Günter

  • Hello Günter,

    Thank you for considering to use Texas Instruments.  Im not aware of C-code specific to FDC1004.  However, I think I might be able to help you find code and modify it for communicating with the device.  Do you already have a MSP430 launchpad? If so, which one?

    If you go to the following link, I think you may be able to find some example code that you can then tailor for communicating with the FDC1004.

    At this link you can enter the MSP430 device or board you intend to use and then on the left should be a series of relevant folders you can search through for helpful files.  I dont think the folder structure is always consistent, but here is an example to guide you.  I selected MSP430FR2XX_4XX (X denotes that there are multiple variants under the MSP430FR2 family).  After selecting the  MSP430FR2XX_4XX is was able to drill down to some example I2C code by looking inside MSP430 microcontrollers>Embedded Software>MSP430Ware (3.80.14.01)>Devices>MSP430FR2XX_4XX>MSP430FR2475>Peripheral Examples>Register Level>.  The relevant examples should have "i2c" towards the ".c" part of the name.
