atom-msp430

An API for interacting with the MSP430 microcontroller family with Atom. atom-msp430 wraps common interactions with the 430 in Atom's type-safe and beautiful Haskell DSL. For a quick demonstration, have a read of ledblink.lhs. More examples will come soon! To see the current status and goals, have a look at the roadmap.

How?

Make sure you have the Haskell Platform installed.

Using Cabal

cabal install atom-msp430

Using git

git clone git@github.com:eightyeight/atom-msp430
cd atom-msp430
cabal install

Why?

1. Because Atom is cool, and Haskell is a great macro language.
2. Because type-safety can mean more efficient learning as well as safer code.
3. Because I'm sick of seeing code like this:

void initUART(void) {
    P1SEL = BIT1 + BIT2;        // P1.1 = RXD, P1.2=TXD
    P1SEL2 = BIT1 + BIT2;       // P1.1 = RXD, P1.2=TXD

    UCA0CTL1 |= UCSSEL_1;       // CLK = ACLK
    UCA0BR0 = 0x03;             // 32kHz/9600 = 3.41
    UCA0BR1 = 0x00;
    UCA0MCTL = UCBRS1 + UCBRS0; // Modulation UCBRSx = 3
    UCA0CTL1 &= ~UCSWRST;       // **Initialize USCI state machine**
    IE2 |= UCA0RXIE;            // Enable USCI_A0 RX interrupt
}

(Example by oPossum via msp430launchpad.com with no malice intended. Those guys taught me everything I know about the 430!)
