MICROCONTROLLER SYSTEM FOR INDUSTRIAL TESTING OF HOME APPLIANCES

V projektu je predstavljena uporaba mikrokrmilnikov družine MSP430 kot alternativnega sistema za zajem podatkov. Opisan je način povezave mikrokrmilnika z osebnim računalnikom in razvita je potrebna programska oprema. Programska oprema zajema tudi komunikacijo po I2C in SPI vodilu, s katerima mikrokrmilnik komunicira z drugimi napravami. V okolju LabVIEW so bile razvite funkcije, ki okolju omogočajo komunikacijo z mikrokrmilnikom. LabVIEW in mikrokrmilnik kot sistem za zajem podatkov je uporabljen kot osnova za krmilje testirne naprave za testiranje toasterjev.The thesis presents the use of MSP430 microcontroller family as the alternative data acquisition system. Connectivity between microcontroller and personal computer using USB bus along with necessary software is developed. Software contains bit-banging functions for I2C and SPI communication protocols, which are used for communication with other devices. For LabVIEW development environment, functions for communication with microcontroller have been developed. LabVIEW and microcontroller based data acquisition system are the basis for toaster testing device’s controlling system
