Now that our hardware is setup, we will open up Code Composer Studio. As it is opening, CCS will ask you to select a workspace.
Since this is our first project, we'll create a new one called "LaunchPad_Projects". A workspace is where all of your Code Composer Studio projects will live. Once created, press OK
Let's name our project "Blink_LED"
We also need to choose the appropriate MSP430 device. For this tutorial, we will program the MSP430G2553 device that comes pre-populated on the MSP430 LaunchPad. (Due to the simplicity of this particular tutorial, any of the MSP430G2xx devices will work for this example!)
Then, click "Finish"
see video above and write code as suggested
Now that we have written our code, we can download it to our MSP430 LaunchPad that is plugged into the USB port! We can do this by clicking the debug button
Clicking the Debug button will take us to the CCS Debug View. Here, we can press the Run button to start running the code we just wrote.
Now that we have our LED blinking, play around with the number inside of the for-loop to change the speed of the blinking LED. The smaller the number, the shorter the delay between LED toggles. Alternatively, the larger the number, the longer the delay. Try values like 5000, 40000, etc.
