More Hardware and software update:
For hardware, PCB have been send for manufacture. Most of the component is ready for assembly.
Now just waiting for PCB and some accessories.
Picture show the final PCB send for manufacture.
Picture bellow show the pin map for the CC3200. Please edit the given example before upload to MCU.
Do remember if you are using the 430 shapr96 LCD with CC3200, connector at the P1 and P2 is using by the LCD.
Please avoid using pin function at this connector if possible. If you still need to use the pin at P1 and P2 then you need to check in detail at the LCD side which pin is available.
This one show LCD pin map. Please bare in mind that some of the pin is not use for LCD but they been use or connected touch slide.

This picture show the pin map for the LCD:
Wire crimping:
Sound and look simple for wire crimping but without proper tool it will give you bad day. For this I will show the wire cramping for the JPT connector use with dust sensor.
Proper tooling for the wire crimping and some tip to make wire crimping more easy.
But for me, I will solder the wire directly to the connector for better connection .
Please chose suitable cable size for the crimping job if not you will end up with difficulty to place the cable assembly in the holder.
I know some of you thinking of cut down the cable to smaller size but with this end up having a lose wire crimping.
You also need some steady hand for this jobs where very bad for me he..he..
Picture show my dust sensor using direct wire soldering
PCB is coming and it look good to use.
Assembly and Connection:
Now in the process of assembly the hardware. Most of the hardware is ready for assembly and now just use temporary fix using magic tape .
Like I mansion the wiring will be a bit headache due to multipurpose PCB. my self also get confuse about the pin he..he..
Picture show the working progress for the assembly work.
Spacer:
I plan to use the aluminum spacer from WÜRTH Electronic. They look very nice but unfortunately they only have limited stock.
So I end up using some PVC spacer
