Energia is an open-source electronics prototyping platform started by
|
|
Robert Wessels in January of 2012 with the goal to bring the Wiring and
|
|
Arduino framework to the Texas Instruments MSP430 based LaunchPad.
|
|
|
|
The Energia IDE is cross platform and supported on Mac OS, Windows,
|
|
and Linux. Energia uses the mspgcc compiler by Peter Bigot and is based
|
|
on the Wiring and Arduino framework. Energia includes an integrated
|
|
development environment (IDE) that is based on Processing.
|
|
|
|
The foundation of Energia and Arduino is the Wiring framework that is
|
|
developed by Hernando Barragan. The framework is thoughtfully created
|
|
with designers and artists in mind to encourage a community where both
|
|
beginners and experts from around the world share ideas, knowledge and
|
|
their collective experience.
|
|
|
|
The Energia team adopts the philosophy of learning by doing and strives to
|
|
make it easy to work directly with the hardware. Professional engineers,
|
|
entrepreneurs, makers, and students can all benefit from the ease of
|
|
use Energia brings to the microcontroller.
|
|
|
|
Energia started out to bring the Wiring and Arduino framework to the Texas
|
|
Instruments MSP430 LaunchPad. Texas Instruments offers a MSP430, TM4C,
|
|
C2000, and CC3200 LaunchPad. The LaunchPad is a low-cost microcontroller
|
|
board that is made by Texas Instruments. The latest release of Energia
|
|
supports the majority of the LaunchPad product offerings.
|
|
|
|
Together with Energia, LaunchPad can be used to develop interactive
|
|
objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or sensors, and
|
|
controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs.
|
|
LaunchPad projects can be stand-alone (only run on the Target Board,
|
|
i.e. your LaunchPad), or they can communicate with software running on
|
|
your computer (Host PC).
