Hi all,
I am working with an MSP430F2012 which is a master to a specific chip that I am using. Using the GPIO pins on the MSP430, I can choose which "mode" to put the specific slave chip into. However, I am also planning on measuring basic characteristics of the slave chip (current, power) in each of the different modes, using a different slave device. Once the measurement chip is set up, it will continuing measuring and storing current and power measurements. However, my question is whether or not I can continue to read (and display on an LCD screen) the measurements while my MSP430 is in LPM waiting to see if a different mode is requested?
I guess the question comes down to what can my MSP430 actively do while in LPM? Does it depend on which mode I am in? At the moment, the only action I want to do is to continously read and write using I2C to read the measurements from the measurement chip and write the command to display the data on an LCD screen, while at the same time waiting for a different GPIO pin to go into a different mode of the chip (and again start measuring and displaying until a different mode is requested). Is this possible?
Thanks,
Matt
