Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMP117, MSP-EXP430F5529LP,
Hello Everyone,
I recently downloaded the TMP117 GUI desktop app to debug and verify our new RTD designs using the new TMP117 family. We are using the WSON and SDBGA packagesof the said chip. Using the TMP117EMV board and our two chips placed on flexible films, we're having difficulties making connections to one of the RTD's we designed.
1st RTD = TMP117 WSON-2x3 Package with the adress pin (I2C slave adress) set to 0x48 and seems to work fine and were able to be detected by the TMP117 GUI Ver. 1.1.2
2nd RTD = TMP117 SDBGA-6 Package with the address pin set to 0x49, is unable to be detected by the GUI and I can't seem to change the address of the I2C configuration on the GUI (the drop down box is disabled). I found out that the TMP117 GUI Ver. 1.2.1 does allow you to change the address bit from 0x48 to 0x49 BUT it can't seem to find any of my USB serial ports and thus the EVM itself.
Does anybody have any ideas? In case anyone asks, I've updated the firmware on the TMP117EVM already using that launchpad MSP-EXP430F5529LP successfully, but still unable to change the TMP117's slave address on the GUI on Ver. 1.1.2 and are able to change it on Ver. 1.2.1 but won't detect my serial ports.
Any help is appreciated.
