MSP430FR4133 LaunchPad™ Development Kit (MSP ‑ EXP430FR4133)
1.4.2 Running the Out-of-Box Demo
When connected to the computer, the LaunchPad powers up and displays a greeting message on the
LCD. Press and hold the S1 and S2 buttons simultaneously to select a new mode. A more detailed
explanation of each mode can be found in Section 3.4.
1.4.2.1 Stopwatch Mode
This mode provides a simple stopwatch application. It supports split time, where the display freezes while
the stopwatch continues running in the background.
Timer Stopped:
S1: Start time
S2: Reset time
Timer Running:
S1: Stop time
S2: Split time (lap time)
1.4.2.2 Temperature Mode
This mode provides a simple thermometer application. Using the on-chip temperature sensor, the
temperature is displayed on the LCD.
S1: Pause current temperature
S2: Toggle temperature between °F and °C
1.5 Next Steps: Looking Into the Provided Code
After the EVM features have been explored, the fun can begin. It's time to open an integrated
development environment and start editing the code examples. Refer to Section 3.3 for more information
on IDEs and where to download them.
The out-of-box source code and more code examples are provided for download at
http://www.ti.com/tool/msp-exp430fr4133. Code is licensed under BSD, and TI encourages reuse and
modifications to fit specific needs.
Section 3 describes all of the functions in detail and describes the project structure to help familiarize you
with the code.
With the onboard eZ-FET emulator debugging and downloading new code is simple. A USB connection
between the EVM and a PC through the provided USB cable is all that is needed.
