Basic port output on MSP430 MPU's

These examples show 8-bit parallel port output to eight leds on port-2.
One example is a binairy counter, the second a running light.




Part list:

1x  Launchpad
1x  Hardware explorer
8x  Led 3mm  red
1x  100 Ohm 1/4 Watt resistor
8x  Wire 5 cm
7x  Jumper wire




Building instructions:

Place all 8 leds with the cathode downward on the breadboard (short wire down).
Then place all 7 jumper wires to connect all cathode together, and 100 Ohm resistor to ground.
Finally place all 8 wires to coonect the leds to the port pins, P2.0 is the most right 
led near the resistor, led P2.7 is most left.

The download the code and type COUNTER and/or RUNNER to start de demo's.
Any keypress stops a demo. If you want to save the demo type FREEZE before
disconnecting the power. For a startup demo you may place RUNNER or COUNTER
in the APP vector.

Type: RUNNER TO APP  FREEZE to do so.
