TMP117EVM: Use in custom GUI application using C++

Dheeraj Ramakrishnan

Part Number: TMP117EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: USB2ANY, MSP430F5528

Hi,

I am trying to develop a custom C++ gui application to run on a Linux machine. I wanted to use the TMP117EVM module for measuring the temperature and displaying it on my GUI. I have followed the links and installed the USB2ANY tool. However, I do not get an api or any reference on how to sue the TMP117EVM on my custom software.

Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dhe

    Hi Dheeraj,

    Welcome to the E2E Forums and thank you for posting. 

    If you've installed USB2ANY Explorer software (Link here), then there should be an API reference document for the .dll file in the TI USB2ANY SDK directory. This directory will be located in your install location. You can also find some example code and various release notes in this folder. 

    You will see in the API reference document notes that the library file was designed and tested for windows operating systems though, so operation on Linux is not a guarantee. 

    Best Regards,

    Hi Brandon,

    When I install USB2ANY Explorer software, there is no SDK directory. This is what is present in the USB2ANY Explorer folder.

    The contents of the Bin folder are below:

    Windows search is to locate the .dll file or the API reference. However, the EVM module is communicating with the Chrome browser and exchanging data.

    Is there a different link for installing the USB2ANY SDK with the .dll, API reference and examples?

    Thanks,

    Dhe

    Hi Dhe,

    This thread has links to download the USB2ANY SDK, as well as a separate link to the API Reference document. Run the SDK setup file and it should by default install to C:\Program Files (x86)\TI USB2ANY SDK. This directory will include some example code you can look at as well. 

    As a heads up, the TMP117EVM is running a slightly modified version of USB2ANY to run on the MSP430F5528, so don't attempt to update the board firmware with the standard USB2ANY file. All USB2ANY commands should still operate as normal without any firmware changes.

    Best Regards,
