Hello,
TLDR: Looking for Win7 "Other Device - MSP430-USB Example" device driver to make my PC work with the USBSerialExample2 code with a MSP-EXP430F5529 dev board.
I'm quite new (yesterday) to the MSP+Energia and have some experience with other microcontrollers. I need assitance with the USB serial port example code. I have communication between Energia and the dev board, see 2 new comm ports, and am able to use PC comm 8 for programming and PC comm 7 to see a programs running with Serial.print()*. So far so good!
However, when loading and running "USBSerialExample" or "USBSerialExample2", a new device appears to Windows: "MSP430-USB Example". I am assuming that this is the "USB" in "USBSerial".
Is there a Win7 driver that I should be using and where exactly can I get it?
Thanks,
JM
* I have verified that I am seeing the ezFET serial (not USBSerial) comms on the Energia Serial Monitor (ESM) by putting an serial LCD screen on the ezFET TXD and RXD pins, and am communicating from the PC to the pins. By removing the the ezFET jumpers, ESM does not receive data, so the ezFET path is the one that is being taken for the Serial. method
