Now has come the time to wrap up our little timer exercise.
What we still have to do:
RESET
Pin-16 of the MSP430G2553 is the RESET pin (active low). We can install a push button from pin-16 to GND (DVSS, pin-20) and a 100kΩ pull-up resistor from pin-16 to DVCC (pin-1). Pressing this push button will reset the mcu.
Interrupt on Input Change
We can use eight pins of PORT1 in order to select any one of eight timer delays. Of course, we would move the LED output to a pin on PORT2.
For simplicity, we will choose six pins on PORT1, P1.0 to P1.5 as timer delay choices and move the LED to P2.2 (pin-10).
Here is the modified program:
(Code has not yet been compiled and tested. Hopefully I will get around to it sometime today.)
When a push-button wired from one of the PORT1 input pins to GND (VDSS) is pressed myPORT1_ISR( ) is called. In this ISR we reset the alarm, minutes counter and restart the timer.
We have eliminated the need for a reset button.
Edit:
Usually, I write a program and then go for a walk, bike ride or have a shower. During that time I may come up with some different ideas.
Here is what I would change.
I would retain the RESET button. On RESET, I would not enable the timer interrupt. Only enable the timer interrupt when a set button is pressed. Hence on reset the alarm is disabled and mcu draws very little current.
Edit: I have moved the timer interrupt enable to myPORT1_ISR( ).
On reset, only the input change will trigger an interrupt.

What we still have to do:
- Figure out a way to select different timer delays.
- Find a way to reset the timer.
