MSP430F5438+PAN1315 Accelerometer Demo Paired, but doesn't move the penguin

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5438, CC2560, MSP430BT5190

I've successfully paired the two MSP430F5438+PAN1315 together (solid red and yellow LEDs), but my penguin doesn't move when I move the board.  Both boards act this way and have followed the wiki directions.

Thoughts? 

Thanks, in advance.

    Hi Scott Kerstein,

    The devices will start exchanging accelerometer data after they are connected using the Accelerometer demo application. The “AutoPortDetect.exe” application bundled along with the SDK forwards the received accelerometer data to the keyboard event buffer on the Windows PC so that the gestures produced using the board are translated to control the movements of the penguin in the game.

     

    Please verify if you are using the “AutoportDetect.exe” application on the PC.

     

    This setup is explained in more detail as part of the “MSP430BT5190_CC2560_AcclApplUserGuide.docx” document (page no.9/16 ) bundled along with the release.

    Regards,

    Thanks.  I forgot to include that I determined the port with autoportdetect.exe and changed the .txt file to reflect the port number, and followed the procedure.  I'll try another demo.
