TDC1000-TDC7200EVM: Assembling a private kit similar to the TDC1000-TDC7200EVM

Evandro Junior Rodrigues
Prodigy 10 points
Part Number: TDC1000-TDC7200EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDC1000, TDC7200, MSP430G2452

Please, could you help me on this matter ?. I want to mount a kit similar to the kit that you already have ready and that I already tested the TDC1000-TDC7200EVM. But now, at this stage, I want to buy my own system. At first, I will use the following components:

1 - Ultrasonic TDC1000
1 - TDC7200 - Time-to-Digital Converter
1 - Microcontroller M430G2452
1 - MSP430 LaunchPad Value Line Development kit to record the program codes on the microcontroller.

Is this correct? With this list will I be able to manufacture a kit similar to the TDC1000-TDC7200EVM ?.

My goal is to measure the level and flow of water and in the future make the control using the distance using xbee.

Is this the best way to achieve my goal ?.

Thank you very much for your attention.

    Hi Evandro,

    This MSP430 has SPI and enough GPIOs for normal operation. My only concern would be the small amount of program memory. However, without much of the GUI interface and additional features from the EVM, you should be able to fit everything you need into the 8kb memory of the MSP430G2452. 

    The EVM has the capability to use the MSP430 to do the timing in place of the TDC7200, but if you do not need that functionality the MSP430 you have selected should work for you.

    The firmware source code from the TDC1000-TDC7200EVM GUI can be a useful reference, but will not port over without modification.

    Regards,
