3.1.1 Hardware

The TIDA-010002 board was initially tested for proper operation using the USB2ANY Interface Adapter, which features I2C-bus protocol support. Both read and write slave access to the TMP117 was verified after correct wiring of the VDD, GND, SDA, and SCL lines between the TIDA-0100012 design and USB2ANY tool.

The fully assembled probes with TIDA-010002 inside, as shown in Figure 3-1, were used for testing. These digital temperature probes (see the 4-wire white cable with 6 m length as an example) were produced by JUMO GmbH & Co. KG in Germany. JUMO is a market leader in the development of industrial temperature probes for a variety of applications, including residential and commercial heat meters. JUMO can be contacted with inquiries about digital temperature probes based upon TIDA-010002 at HeatMeter@jumo.net.

Next, the full TIDA-010002 based digital probe was attached to the MSP430FR6047 Ultrasonic Sensing Evaluation Module using the BoosterPack™ Plug-in Module extension connectors J5 and J6. Table 3-1 shows the four connections required, where the VDD for the digital temperature sensor can be provided continuously or by a GPIO pin for easy power-on and off.
