Nice post Doug. Good to know about the GPIO issue between the Sharp96 BoosterPack and the CC3100. I had a similar issue between the BOOSTXL-AUDIO and the Sharp96 but the resistor change was on the Audio BoosterPack.

With regards to how the MSP432 is listed in Energia, with Energia MT Multithreading was introduced and is supported with the MSP432. You could separate your sensor inputs into individual Tasks that get run at various intervals instead of running them in series. You create a separate Tab for each Task and may need a header file if you have shared variables such as with your Display output. Just a suggestion.

Here is an update... It is ok to laugh...

I just completed the change on my 430BOOST-SHARP96 of moving the R16 0 ohm resistor to R17.... But not without issues.... De-soldering went without a hitch, picked up the resistor with tweezers and proceeded to set in place. This is where the issue occurred, the resistor popped out of my tweezers grip and landed...... Who knows where... Lets look for it, it is either on the cluttered work table with 5000 other lost items or on the carpet floor... Hmmmm, I couldn't see it without a magnifying glass already, not much hope finding it. Lets start looking for another resistor to use, luckily I found one on another board I saved. Works great now.

Great post.

Always start simple and build.

This way you have your sensor test output ready when you get the units.

Well done.

I can actually understand that code [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-7864761a-d1c6-483a-b09c-6b31e6f5f255/contentimage_5F00_4751.png:16:16]

I might need to drag out my TI kits ...
