PGA460: Distance sensing without GUI

Part Number: PGA460
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: , , ENERGIA

Hi

MSP430F5529LP board requires for evaluate PGA460EVM using GUI.

1.

Is it possible to sense distance using PGA460EVM, without GUI control?

(For example, a case of using other MCU)

2.

If Q.1 is true, do you have sample code to calculate distance in any MCU ?

BestRegards

    na na78,

    Yes, it is possible to detach the MSP430F5529LP from the PGA460-Q1 EVM, and connect a different/external MCU to the BOOSTXL-PGA460. As you've noted, the GUI will only work using the F5529LP firmware.

    The PGA460 Software Development Guide ( www.ti.com/.../slaa730 ) serves as a guide to using the PGA460 with any compatible MCU for USART, TCI, OWU, or SPI communication.

    The PGA460 Energia Library and Code Example ( www.ti.com/.../slac741 ) contains examples for each communication interface. The Energia examples were designed to be directly used by any LaunchPad and Arduino platform, but the code can be ported to other MCUs.
