3.1.4 Live Temperature Mode

In this mode, the LaunchPad kit repeatedly measures the internal temperature of the MSP430FR2433 MCU and transfers the data to the PC through UART.

The application also keeps track of a temperature threshold in this mode (default is 25°C), and when a new temperature data is acquired, it is compared against the threshold. If measured temperature is below the threshold, the green LED2 illuminates, and if the measured temperature is above the threshold, the red LED1 illuminates.

Independently pressing S1 or S2 increases or decreases, respectively, the temperature threshold in this mode. The further the recorded temperature is from the threshold, the brighter the corresponding LEDs illuminate.

The user can influence the temperature of the device by blowing hot or cold air and observing the changes in the user LED brightness or see data changes on the GUI.
