Re: [Mspgcc-users] Using XIN pin as port or timer output

2016-11-30 Thread Marko Cebokli 
The problem was that P2SEL bit 7 also affects pin 19. It is set upon reset
and has to be cleared, to use pin 19 as timer output.
Thanks again to all that ave responded. (This forum is set so, that when you
hit "reply", it goes only to the poster)

I suspect that you haven't configured the pin correctly. This simple program
causes P2.6 to toggle along with the LED:

#include 


int main()
{
  WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD;// stop watchdog timer

  P1DIR = P2DIR = 0xff;

  P2DIR &= ~BIT7;
  P2SEL &= ~BIT6;
  P2SEL2 &= ~BIT6;

  while(1)
{
  P1OUT ^= BIT0;
  P2OUT ^= BIT6;
  __delay_cycles(100L);
}
}

XIN and XOUT connect to the pin headers via 0 Ohm resistors R28 and R29.
If those resistors are not present, then no signal will reach those pins.

Re: [Mspgcc-users] Using XIN pin as port or timer output

2016-11-29 Thread Eric Decker 
Table 21 on pg 53 is confusing.  There are two columns, P2SEL.6/P2SEL.7 and
P2SEL2.6/P2SEL2.7.  I have no idea what the P2SEL2.6/P2SEL2.7 column is
referring to (and it has the opposite value of P2SEL.6/P2SEL.7.

Same table says that for Capative Sensing P2SEL2.6 is a 1.  Not sure where
that gets set or reset.

For TA0.1 to be output on P2.6, we need P2DIR.6 to be a 1, P2SEL.6 to be a
1, and P2SEL2.6 to be 0.

Now if that is set up P2.6 will output the output of output module for
Timer0 CCR1.  You have to have the timer h/w programmed properly and the
output mode set properly to see something meaningful on the TA0.1 pin.

I'm most concerned about you not getting P2.6 to act as a port.  That is
where I would start.  Get that working first.

You have to have P2DIR.6 set to 1, P2SEL.6 set to 0.  Then P2.6 should
follow what you wright to bit 6 of P2OUT.

what exactly are you seeing on pin 14?   How do you know the timer is
working?

how do you have P1.6 programmed?
