CCS/CC2640R2F: Tutorial for CCS side of GUI Composer?

Jason Gardner

Part Number: CC2640R2F


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I've been reading online (ex. GUI Composer 2 User's Guide) but can't find anything on what to put in the CCS software.

Any example code on how to make a readable variable for GUI Composer from the point of view of the LAUNCHXL?

How do I create a JSON file, etc?

    If you use the XDS/JTAG model of communication between the GUI and hardware, then you do not need to do anything specific to the CCS application. Any global variable can be bound to a GUI widget. Specifically for the CC2640R2 there is a GUI Composer tutorial included with SimpleLink Academy. You can access it from this Resource Explorer link. 

    In addition, there are some examples on the GUI Composer gallery that may use other models of communication such as UART: https://dev.ti.com/gallery/

    Type in CC2640R2 in the search box at the top of the page to find a few additional GUI examples specific to your device that you can run in conjunction with examples that are included in the SDK. 

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    I went through the tutorial and the part I get lost is when I run the application.

    I can attach the variables as shown in the tutorial but when running the application just says "COM5:115200 waiting for data ..." after it does some connecting / initialization / downloading to the target.

    Do I have to push data somehow? Why can't it see my global variables?

    Are you running the GUI Composer tutorial included with SimpleLink Academy? If so, I would suggest starting a new thread in the Bluetooth forum to ask specifically about that tutorial, as the experts there created that tutorial and should be able to provide the best advice.
