Re: [IAEP] [Sur] TI MSP430 running on XO 1 - Robotics!
Tony, I have been using the Energia IDE on my MacBook Pro for the Launchpad. As I understand it, it is an Arduino variant, free and open source: http://energia.nu/ I am not sure if it will run on the XO, but it is an option as I see it. I look forward to hearing about your progress. I will share whatever I learn as well. Thanks. Gerald On Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 11:25 PM, fors...@ozonline.com.au wrote: Gerald Thanks for the update. I just this link to a project using the TI Launchpad as a robot brain: http://e2e.ti.com/group/microcontrollerprojects/m/msp430microcontrollerprojects/496334.aspx I am going to give it a try. I have just got my MSP430 launchpad and am planning the next step. http://www.ti.com/ww/en/launchpad/msp430_head.html It seems that there are 2 development IDE's: CCS and IAR Neither are open source but they are free when used with a 16kB code limitation. MSPGCC is open source but only works from the command line, no graphic IDE. Yamaplos documents the command line mspdebug at http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OLPC_XO-1 (I do not know if mspdebug and MSPGCC are related) Currently Arduino, PIC, and LegoWeDo are being used with the OLPC XO with the programming being done on the XO, either in TurtleArt or Scratch. The electronics of the robotics kits are being used as I/O expanders. The students are not programming the processors on the robotics kits. (I am not sure what LegoNXT is doing). The Arduino is running Firmata software firmata.org/wiki/Protocol which turns it into a dumb slave, I think the Butia team are using similar (but different) software on their Arduino or PIC. Maybe the most productive approach is to find or write for the MSP430 a Firmata emulator, then the MSP430 can be used as a replacement for the Arduino, under control of TurtleArt (and maybe Scratch). The benefit is that the MSP430 is currently 1/10 the price of an Arduino. I am concerned that this subsidised price may not continue indefinitely or that schools may not be able to buy them in quantity though. I will look at MSP430 Firmata. So far I have installed the CCS IDE for Windows (it looked easier than Linux). I will let you know my progress Tony ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

[IAEP] Turtle Blocks question
Hello. I have been playing with the Turtle Blocks plugins for Follow Me, We Do Robots, Lego Mindstorms, and Arduino. They installed perfectly in Turtle Blocks (as expected). I have two questions: 1. I will need to install Turtle Blocks and these plugins on 25-50 XO-1s. Do I have to do the plugins one by one on each machine? 2. How do I go about requesting plug in(s) for the TI Launchpad? Thanks.

The easiest thing to do is to: (1) clone the TA project* (2) load the plugins you are interested in (3) run setup.py dist_xo to generate a new .xo bundle * git clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/turtleart/mainline.git It may be useful to change the version number, for example, 160.1 instead of 160 in activity/activity.info I will work more with the Launchpad.

Re: [IAEP] Arduino and XO-1
If he have the latest version, the plugin makes a list of the ttyUSB availables
andtry get the first that works.
The header of the Arduino Plugin says:
self._dev = '/dev/ttyUSB0'self._baud = 57600
self._arduino = None
status,output = commands.getstatusoutput(ls /dev/ | grep ttyUSB)
output = output.split('\n')for i in output:
status,aux=commands.getstatusoutput(udevinfo -a -p /class/tty/%s | grep
ftdi_sio /dev/null % i) if (not status):
self._dev='/dev/%s' % i break
I'm not sure if the udevinfo commands exist in the XO.In my Ubuntu 12.10 I
not have it, only the udevadm
Which sugar version you have?
In the Terminal Activity:
check for the N of the arduino:
ls /dev/ | grep ttyUSB
After, check if exist the udevinfo:
See the n, and replace the * in this line:

Your Arduino board could be ttyusbn or ttyacmn where n increments each time you
replug the Arduino. Somewhere, I think /dev , you can see what your Arduino is.
Somewhere in the Firmata listing the baud rate is set, check its the same in

It is patched and works on Sugar 0.94.
