EZ430-RF2560 kit

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2560, MSP430BT5190

Hello,

 

I am very unfamiliar with the MSP430 and I have to make a project to send and receive Bluetooth data with the EZ430-RF2560 kit. I need something different of the TI WIKI where I can learn how to do this.

I have tried the example code that came with the EZ430-RF2560 kit but have a lot of errors and got very puzzled due to the lack of documentation of the code. I am feeling very disappointed with this product, I expected more of this product after paying so much for it.

 

Thanks for any help.

  • Jeffrey,

     

    What kind of errors are you seeing ? It's not difficult to get the EZ430-RF2560 working for your application. The demo code readily demonstrates sending data using Bluetooth. Have you been able to run the demonstration?

     

    As for documentation, there is plenty of it. Besides the Wiki that is available, there is also a User's Guide and a Developer's Guide:

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/images/6/6f/MSP430BT5190_CC2560_Developers_Guide.pdf

     

    By the way, a new version of the SDK is coming out which contains many improvements and even more information

  • Jeffrey,

    Are the errors you're seeing during compile time talking about code size? If so, you will need to download IAR Embedded Workbench 30-day evaluation from IAR's website:

    http://supp.iar.com/Download/SW/?item=EW430-EVAL

     

    You can also download the binary provided in the installation directory (it has a d43 extension) directly to the EZ430-RF2560 using FETPro430 Lite, for example. Then you don't need the IAR to compile a binary for you.
