Code composer studio code that reads text file, coverts to ascii, then convert the ascii characters to binary and output the binary digits to an MSP432. My code works in other C compliers like code blocks or visual studio but im getting stuck in the first while loop in code composer. Any ideas on how to fix this?

stepping through the code shows that the file is being read, however the code doesnt go further than that

//***************************************************************************** // // MSP432 main.c template - Empty main // //****************************************************************************

#include "msp.h" #include #include

int main() {

WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD;

P3DIR |= BIT2 + BIT3; P4DIR |= BIT0 + BIT1 + BIT2 + BIT3; // P4.0 = Write, P4.2 = Read P6DIR |= BIT1; // P6.1 = Register select

FILE *fpointer; int binaryRep[4000], rev[5]; int j = 0, k; char c; char text[4000]; int i = 0; int val; int l = 0; int m = 0; int temp; int D0, D1, D3, D2;

int h = 0; int transmitcounter = 0;

//Reading data from file fpointer = fopen("C://Users//User//Documents//input.txt", "r+");

j = 0;

//printf(" Representing ASCII in 3 digit format: "); while ((c = fgetc(fpointer)) != EOF) { //Represent each character into ASCII of 3-digit format temp = c; //sprintf(text, "%3.*d", 3, temp);

//Forming each digit to equivalent binary form for (i = 0; text[i] != '\0'; i++) { //printf(" %c", text[i]); val = text[i]; k = 0, l = 0;

//Getting binary number while (val>0 && k<4) { rev[l] = val % 2; k++; l++; val = val / 2; }

//Store in correct order for (m = l - 1; m >= 0; m--) { binaryRep[j] = rev[m]; j++; } } }

//Output the entire binary representation /*printf(" Representing ASCII of 3 digit format in binary: "); for (i = 0; i

while (h < 4000) { transmitcounter = 0; D3 = binaryRep[h]; h++; D2 = binaryRep[h]; h++; D1 = binaryRep[h]; h++; D0 = binaryRep[h]; h++;

if (D3 == 1) P3OUT |= BIT2; if (D2 == 1) P3OUT |= BIT3; if (D1 == 1) P4OUT |= BIT1; if (D0 == 1) P4OUT |= BIT3;

//printf("%d%d%d%d ", D3, D2, D1, D0);

while (transmitcounter < 100) transmitcounter++;

}

fclose(fpointer); //system("pause"); return 0; }
