Educational BoosterPack MKII

Educational BoosterPack MKII

The BOOSTXL-EDUMKII BoosterPack™ kit is an easy-to-use plug-in module that offers a high level of integration for developers to quickly add to LaunchPad™ development kit designs. Various analog and digital inputs and outputs are at your disposal including an analog joystick, environmental and motion sensors, RGB LED, microphone, buzzer, color LCD display, and more. This BoosterPack plug-in module was developed with Energia in mind. Energia is an open-source community-developed coding environment, which is supported by a robust framework of intuitive APIs and easy-to-use software libraries for rapid firmware development. TI recommends Energia v17 or later.

The Educational BoosterPack plug-in module MKII adheres to the 40-pin LaunchPad development kit and BoosterPack plug-in module pin out standard. A standard was created to aid compatibility between LaunchPad development kits and BoosterPack plug-in modules across the TI ecosystem. The 40-pin standard is compatible with the 20-pin standard that is used by other LaunchPad development kits like the MSP-EXP430G2. This allows for 20-pin LaunchPad development kits to be used with 40-pin BoosterPack plug-in modules with some limited functionality. The BOOSTXL-EDUMKII supports BoosterPack plug-in module stacking with its male and female BoosterPack plug-in module headers. See how many BoosterPack plug-in modules you can stack onto your LaunchPad development kit to add more functionality like wireless and battery power.
