Have you tried using the IRremote library with Energia?

Thank you very much, but i don't use Energia unfortunately.
i would like consult something to you.
should i use uart? or a simple protocol created by myself? which one is the more simple?
Regards.

OK, but you could study it to check how it is done for MSP430!

I would not advise using a UART for IR.(Although we have some posts on our blog showing how to generate IR using a UART).
In generat I would suggest using something like the NEC protocol as a good/simple starting point. Of course you can design an even simlet protocol.

Note: IR receivers invert the signal received!

Sorry...I am not familiar enough with msp430 to comment or debug your code for you.

However, if you do a google search for msp430 and NEC, you should find some examples as I did.

Also, when posting code online, make sure to use code tags and indent the code to make it readable. What you have posted above is not very readable. (I will try to add tags to your post)

Best of luck.

I couldn't see tags. I'm sorry. I will add tags next time.

Hi again.
I know you said you are not familiar with MSP430 but i'm trying just blink two leds. but i can't. can you just take a look to my codes?

Hi
As you suspect, it would take too much time for me to dive into your code on MSP430.

An important part of learning to code, is to use an effective debugging process, that informs you of where you code is not working as you might expect. I appreciate the platform you are using may not have many 'friendly' features available (compared to Arduino) so you could try to implement it on an Arduino first and then with better understanding of the challenge port the code over to your target platform.

If you tried to use an interrupt in the IR Rx pin and capture timestamps every time the signal changes level (or the interrupt is fired)...it may be a simpler approach for you.

However, I did a quick search on google and found some examples that might be helpful.

Use search strings/terms like
MSP430 RC5 decode
MSP430 RC6 decode
MSP430 NEC decode
MSP430 Infrared decoder

Alternatively, look at our blog post, which might provide some inspiration. (Arduino based)
