need help for interfacing NRF with MSP430G2553 or any MSP430 controller.

Hi,

We will be in the need of NRF wireless modules for our street light communication application. I need the support for interfacing NRF with MSP430G2553 or any MSP430 controller. can anyone one give me a suitable suggestion for this.

You could use the nRF51 as a transceiver, or you could implement a protocol (for instance using UART or SPI) to control the nRF. In this case, you will need to define a custom protocol and commands to read/write bytes over Bluetooth, to configure the nRF51 chip, start advertising, etc.

Hi Intercode,

As metch mentioned, you can use UART, SPI or I2C to interface with the MSP chip. What you have to implement will depend much on how you want to use the nRF chip. Could you let me know which nRF chip you are using ? nRF5x or nRF24 ? On nRF5x we provided the serialization library that you can use the chip as a BLE connectivity chip.

Hi Hung ,

im using NRF24L01 , succcessfully interface this part with AVR, but now i want interface NRF with MSP430G2553 or any MSP430 controller.

Well, the NRF24L01 neither knows nor cares what microcontroller you use. The interface & protocol remain the same - they are not dependant on what microcontroller you use.

So, if you have working AVR code, you just need to port that to the MSP430...

If you used an nRF5x chip, you could do away with the separate microcontroller ...

Thank You .

Hung & metch, You both explained very well and cleared all my confusing.

I am greatful to you.
