TMP116EVM: Source Code for Device GUI.dll that comes with evaluation module software

Part Number: TMP116EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMP116

I would very much appreciate if you could provide the source code for Device GUI.dll that comes with evaluation module software or at least a code snippet that tells how to access the temperature register on TMP116 via MSP430 HID interface. It is ridiculous the amount of time we wasted trying to figure out how to include the evaluation module in our (C# based) automated test fixture software. We have read hundreds of TI documents, reviewed most of the TI public code for MSP430. We managed to connect to the device but without any information on how the USB HID calls would be transferred back and forth to TMP116 registers it would be impossible to access the temperature reading register of TMP116 that actually is the only thing we care about. I don't think TI wanted to make TMP116EVM such a hard to crack nutshell. I have been told that TI is working on a new C based package that would be released sometime in spring next year and will fully address this issue but till then it's a long time and we need help now. Thank you.

  • Hi Sandrino,

    Thanks for your interest on TMP116. Each support component that TI releases has different objectives. The TMP116 GUI one is to help on the part evaluation and not to provide SW example for developers or system integrators.

    As mentioned before in the forum we have few support components soont o be released for this part. TI designs and SDK (software development kit) for Code Composer Studio.

    Please find the attached file with TMP116 SW example that will be published on ti,com once a TI design for this part is released in the next couple of months. Let us know if you have any questions.i2c-tmp116-ex.zip 

  • Thank you Sir!
    Let me assure you I didn't want my message to sound as a complain (if it did so please rather regard it as a sign of frustration we just could not figure out how to do it by ourselves).
