MSP432P401R SimpleLink™ Microcontroller LaunchPad™ Development Kit
(MSP
‑
EXP432P401R)
3.1.1 Operation
Upon powering up the out-of-box demo, the RGB LED2 blinks red at 1 Hz. Switch S1 can be tapped
repeatedly at a constant rate to set the blink frequency of LED2. Switch S2 cycles LED2 through four
different color settings: Red, Green, Blue, and random RGB color. Each color setting retains its own blink
frequency.
A PC GUI accompanies the out-of-box demo to allow user to set the color and blink rate of the RGB LED.
Connect the LaunchPad development kit to a computer using the included USB cable. The out-of-box GUI
can be opened from within CCS using the TI Resource Explorer: Software > SimpleLink MSP432 SDK >
Development Tools > MSP-EXP432P401R > Demos > outOfBox_msp432p401r, and launch the Out of
Box Experience GUI.
