The MSP430 eZ430-RF2500 can be challenging to use with Linux, as the official manual lacks information on Linux support. Users need a compatible user interface and compiler specifically for Linux to write C programs for the microcontroller. Some participants suggest keeping a dedicated Windows machine for development due to performance benefits and software compatibility. While there may be limited options for Linux users, exploring community forums or alternative software could provide potential solutions. Overall, using the eZ430-RF2500 with Linux requires additional effort and resources.

Hi.

As weird as it may sound, I won in a lottery (seriously) an MSP430 microcontroller with a USB development tool eZ430-RF2500 from Texas Instruments. I've already used it a bit. At uni, we have a project in labs where we have to use this thing. We wrote a few simple C programs to make the LEDs flash etc.

Now the lab computers have windoze on them. I'm curious if it's possible to connect this thing to Linux somehow. As in actually writing a C program for it. The official manual doesn't say anything about Linux support. Any help will be appreciated.

Bummer, you'd need the user interface and compiler to be compiled for Linux.
I just keep a virgin computer to the side. I hasn't any unneeded junk and isn't connected to the internet - It runs much faster than the others...
 

Thread 'Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes'

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
