Hi David,

Is there any example code of using GPIO?

Thanks!

VCC is normally connected directly to the battery.  So no, 
you can't control that without unplugging the battery.

Why don't you drive a pin high from the microcontroller to 
power your external resistors? Or, if the current 
consumption is greater than the MSP430 can supply, use a 
GPIO-toggled FET switch to supply current to your 
resistors.
