SENSORTAG-SW: SENSORTAG-SW

Part Number: SENSORTAG-SW
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1350, CC2650STK

I have tried my hand at using sensor controller studio managed with some help from the forums to iron out the great versions confusion, and managed even to import a sensor driver to Code Composer Studio and low and behold even build it. I was using search engines with this process more than I have ever used and I must confess that I am as confused as ever. I did not choose my development platform since it was a given. I have to develop an analog sensor on SensorTag and DEvPack. that is fine with me, but I wish versions and documentation were coherent. For example most of the academy training somehow will show how to do things while using Launchpad, great, but for this purpose PinID 23 is the one to use but it may not be the one on SensorTag. My searches reminded me of my old boxer chasing the tail that he didn't have. What I found in the forum that DevPack has DP0 to DP3 are analog input pins. However the wiki user guide leaves me guessing if DP0 is mapped to pin 23 which is the mapping in the examples, but these are mostly LuanchPad. The "Sensor Controller Fundamentals" is not much help since it shows everything on LP. I'd appreciate some coherent documentation on how to develop with DevPack and once I have my sensor driver how do I insert it into an application.

Thanks

Avi

    Hello Abraham,
    The launchpad is our main development platform as of now and moving forwards for the simplelink device family and therefore all trainings will mostly focus on launchpad and not Sensortag. Perhaps you can find useful info in the app note "Integrating Sensor Controller Studio Examples Into ProjectZero" found in resource explorer?

    Hi Eirik,

    Thanks for the reply, I was trying to find it though, but project zero is nowhere to be found on my installations. In the screenshot bellow you can see what I get, and project zero is not there. I understand that if it can be found I have to look for it in the resource explorer classic. I must say that I have been working in the past on code composer developing for DSPs and been developing device drivers forever, including authored a book on developing device drivers, and I have never found myself in such a bind with development tools.

    I have no problem writing code for my analog device driver, but it is not clear in the documentation if pin mapping of the DEVPack is same as Launchpad, it is clear how to integrate a system driver into an application project but not very clear how to integrate a driver developed with sensor controller studio. I will try searching for "Integrating Sensor Controller Studio Examples Into ProjectZero" using google but as you can see resource explorer doesn't help.

    Many thanks

    Avi

    Abraham: From your post I could not see which sensortag you are referring to.

    The schematic for the DevPack is here: www.ti.com/.../swrr136.pdf. You can also find the schematic for the various sensor tags under the product page. For the CC1350 STK, DIO23 is mapped to DP2.

    When you have found the mapping to the DIO you want to use the training should be possible to follow as as given that you use the board files for the STK.

    Thank you TER, I am developing for the CC2650STK sensortag, and looking at the schematics it seems that DP0 maps to DIO25. That is a step forward. Hope to weave through all the versions without any damage.
    Thank you
