The processor that you will be using for this project is the MSP430F5438. The processor comes with an Experimenter’s board, Code Composer Studio, and a debugger module.
1. Familiarize yourself with the processor, what pins it has, and how do you use the experimenters board and the debugger.
2. You will be programming in C. Take a look at the sample code for this processor to understand how the processor is initialized, how the registers are used, and how to initialize ports.
3. Two of the pins are PWM pins. Learn how to set the pin mode to PWM, and to control the duty cycle.
Deliverable: Submit a program that generates PWM signals with duty cycles of 0%, 25%, 50% and 75%. You will need to print out the waveform output from the pin headers on the board. I suggest you use the newer oscilloscopes in EGR 234 to export the waveforms onto a jump drive.
