Console with One-Wire Temperature on MSP430F5529 LP

Hi Guys,

This has been on my bucket list for a while.

I've put together a CCS6 project that gives the user a serial console to the MSP430 with the ability to read a DS18B20 sensor by issuing a serial command.

Here's a copy-paste of some of my interactions on the console:

I have also uploaded my CCS6 project as a zip file.

As the pictures suggest, I have created this on an F5529 LaunchPad board.

The DS18B20 is wired up in 3-Wire mode and is connected to P1.4 of the LP and read with the typical bit-banging method. 

I have wired in an adafruit ftdi friend onto P3.3 and P3.4 for USART to the PC operation.

I use the Terminal inside of CCS6 to interact with the system.
