TDC1000-TDC7200EVM: Interfacing with arduino

Part Number: TDC1000-TDC7200EVM

Hi,

Can I get the Time of flight data from this board to any other microcontroller (like arduino) for further actions without GUI software?

or any other process is there.

Hi Pabel,

In order to do this, you will need to communicate directly between your arduino and the TDC7200 via SPI. Please refer to the TDC1000-TDC7200EVM user's guide for the EVM schematic to see where the SPI traces that you need to connect to are located: www.ti.com/.../sniu021a.pdf

Hi Scott,

There is a microcontroller( MSP430F5528) on the TDC1000-TDC7200EVM board which is controlling and displaying the data in GUI software. So I want to get the data from that microcontroller to my arduino. Is it possible?

Hi Pabel,

The datasheet for the MSP430 is in the folder you linked above, here: www.ti.com/.../msp430f5528.pdf.

The board schematic is in the user's guide that I linked in my first post. You can certainly communicate between the two microcontrollers, but you will have to determine what protocol you intend to use, and how to hook them up. If you need assistance with that, please post in the MSP430 forum here: e2e.ti.com/.../
