Hello
I have a MSP430 Launchpad that i have been using with MSP430G2231 on it.
Today while using it with an external supply i happen to give it a voltage of +8V.
Since then the IC is getting heated up while connecting Launchpad to my laptop via USB and also the COM Port is not being shown under Device Manager when connected.
I also replaced the IC with MSP430G2211 and tried to run a program via CCS but came with an error "No USB FET Found".
I need help to know what has exactly happened to my Launchpad as i am in the middle of my project for which i have been using it.
I want to know whether the board is of any use or not, whether the IC is dead or whether i can use the other IC or not etc.
Reply ASAP.
