SensHub BoosterPack

The Sensor Hub BoosterPack is an extension board for the TI MCU LaunchPad evaluation module ecosystem. It was designed specifically to extend the functionality of the Tiva TM4C1233 LaunchPad (EKTM4C123GXL). The Sensor Hub enables customers to create and model innovative prototype solutions that leverage the processing and floating-point capabilities of the TM4C123GH6PM MCU coupled with motion and environmental sensors. The Sensor Hub BoosterPack plugs in to the BoosterPack XL headers located on the top of the LaunchPad. The BoosterPack also features a TI-standard extension module (EM) connector to further extend customer applications through a variety of wireless extension modules. This board and the available software also highlight the use of the new TivaWare® SensorLib sensor driver library, an easy-to-use, extendable foundation of sensor communication software.

The BoosterPack XL connector attaches the BoosterPack to the Tiva TM4C LaunchPad. This BoosterPack is specifically designed to match the pin function with the Tiva TM4C LaunchPad. Basic I 2C and UART communication to the sensors and RF expansion connectors are also available when the Sensor Hub is connected to either the C2000 or MSP430 LaunchPad.
