Plotting live data from MSP430 ADC in

Python
:c,english,hardware,launchpad,matplotlib,msp430,programming,pyserial,python,serial,
temperature,uart

I'vefinallygotsomethingforpost.
LastmonthI'vebeenplayingwiththeTIMSP430
LaunchpadandwhenIworkwithADCitlacksof
visualization.SinceLaunchpadhaveUARTUSB
interface,Idecidedtoplotincomingdata.
I'musingMSP430G2553,andallcodewaswritten
forthiscontroller.
Firmware

Firmwareofcontrollerisprettystraightforwardin
largescale:itjustsendsvaluefromADCtotheUARTcontinouslywithonenote:before
starttosendanything,weneedtomakea"handshake"receivestartsymbolfrom
computer.So,highlevelalgorithmwillbelikethis:
1)InitializeUART[1](9600baud)andADC[2]
2)Waitforstartsignal("handshake")
3)InforeverloopsendtemperaturetoUART
ADCinitializationtoreadtemperature(10channel):
voidADC_init(void){
ADC10CTL0=SREF_1+REFON+ADC10ON+ADC10SHT_3
ADC10CTL1=INCH_10+ADC10DIV_3
}
intgetTemperatureCelsius()
{
intt=0
__delay_cycles(1000)//Notneccessary.
ADC10CTL0|=ENC+ADC10SC
while(ADC10CTL1&BUSY)
t=ADC10MEM
ADC10CTL0&=~ENC
return(int)((t*27069L18169625L)>>16)//magic

Serialportprocessing
Let'sdefineglobalvariabledata=deque(0for_inrange(5000)),itwillcontain

approximatedvalues.
Intheserialportthread,weneedtoopenconnection:
ser=serial.Serial('/dev/ttyACM0',9600,timeout=1)
then,makea"handshake":
ok=b''
whileok.strip()!=b'OK':
ser.write(b"1")
ok=ser.readline()
print("HandshakeOK!\n")
Asyousee,we'rewaitingthe"OK"inresponseto"1".After"handshake",wecanstart
