Descriptions

The project is an MSP430F2132 development board with an RGB LED controller and extension connectors on it. I designed this development as a development tool board to fulfill my requirement of testing tasks of my Smart Lamp at Tsinghua University.

This board has the following features:

• It has a CP2102 USB to Serial chip for firmware uploading
• Integrates an NXP PCA family chip for RGB LED control.
• Includes 3 LED for testing the GPIO functions and debugging purpose.
• Provides power selection jumpers that allow users to power the board using an external debugger.
• Support both JTAG and Serial protocol to burn the firmware. The whole project can be divided into the following phrases:
  • designing the hardware systems
  • choosing the components
  • designing, manufacturing and assembling the PCBs
