MSP430 MCUs Ultrasonic Sensing Design Center

MSP-ULTRASONIC-DESIGN-CENTER

Overview

Ultrasonic design center is a one stop resource to develop ultrasonic sensing applications using MSP430TM microcontrollers (MCUs) that includes tools, a graphical user interface (GUI), documentation, software libraries and application examples. Developers can quickly configure and customize parameters related to transducers and capturing waveforms for ultrasonic applications.

Water Metering

The MSP430 MCU ultrasonic sensing solution (USS) software library (MSP-USSSWLIB_Water) helps configure the analog front end (AFE) in the MSP430FR604x family devices for ultrasonic captures and integrate with the application software to develop ultrasonic water flow meters. The library also takes advantage of the low-energy accelerator (LEA) module in MSP430FR604x MCU family to compute time of flight (TOF) measurements.

The MSP-USSSWLIB_Water works with the following EVMs and reference designs:

Gas Metering

The MSP430 Gas Metering software library (MSP-USSSWLIB_Gas) provides the means to configure the internal analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in the MSP430FR6043 MCU family for ultrasonic captures and helps integrate the application software for development of ultrasonic gas flow meter applications. The library also takes advantage of the low-energy accelerator (LEA) module in MSP430FR6043 devices to compute time of flight (TOF) measurements.

The MSP-USSSWLIB_Gas works with the following development tools:
