obtaining data from msp430 launchpad

[Ayush051292]

Hi,

I am currently working on a mechatronics project that involves controlling the speed of a DC motor using the MSP430 Launchpad and an optical shaft encoder. I would like to know if I can transfer the sensor values to LabVIEW to process it and send the processed data back to the MSP430 microcontroller to control the speed of the DC motor.

Regards,

Sure. You can use VISA serial commands to talk to the MSP430 over serial (using USB as a COM port). You will need to setup some kind of transmit and receive scheme in your MSP430 code.
