msp432logger

msp432logger is a high-speed multi-sensor embedded data logger based on the TI MSP-EXP432P401R Launchpad eco-system, storing sensor data to a microSD card.

msp432logger is in active development and is likely not suitable for production use at this time.

msp432logger is developed as an open source project and uses the permissive business-friendly BSD 2-Clause License, although included TI driver code limits use to TI microprocessor devices only (see Legal for more information).

The goal of the msp432logger project is develop a superior high-speed multi-sensor data logger, providing high sensor data bandwidth, large data storage capacity, and low power consumption. A serial command line interface is provided, IoT protocols are supported for remote command and control, and a web GUI is developed as part of the project.

The Phase 1 development platform consists of:

• TI MSP-EXP432P401R LaunchPad.
• TI BOOSTXL-SENSHUB BoosterPack.
• 43oh SDCardReader (modified for UCB2 instead of UCB0).
• Custom I2C breakout PCB.
• Newark BOOSTXL-BATTPACK

Getting Started

The standard development environment uses TI Code Composer 6 (CCS) for editing and debugging, and TortoiseSVN for source revision control.

1. Checkout code somewhere convenient using either svn+ssh protocol (svn+ssh://sourceforge_username@svn.code.sf.net/p/msp432logger/code/trunk) or https protocol (URL: https://svn.code.sf.net/p/msp432logger/code/trunk).

2. Start CCS and import the code you checked-out from Sourceforge as a CCS project. Specify that files NOT be copied to your workspace.

3. Build the project and debug on target hardware like any other project.

Issue Tracking

Issues (and project milestones) are tracked in the msp432logger Tickets tool.
