Also, make sure to connect the RXD & TXD jumpers on the MSP430 in H/W UART mode. (The small leaflet or the quick start guide that comes with MSP430 shows how to do this). Report comment.

10.7 The Hardware Behind UART. Let’s first look at the physical interface required for UART communication. UART is a two-wire protocol and consists of a TXD (transmit) and an RXD (Receive) line. We ...

The idea is quite simple and can be ported to other controllers in a multitude of ways like the MSP430 perhaps. For those of you who like the Teensy, ... and of-course the single UART.

Texas Instruments’ value-line MSP430 16-bit micro costs only 25 cents and comes with 25 preconfigured apps. Small microcontrollers are often used to provide standard functions like a UART-to ...

In a previous excerpt, the authors reviewed the basics of digital I/O and walked through examples of I/O design using the TI MSP430 MCU. This latest excerpt looks at LaunchPad programming, starting in ...
