    Lucie, the beta board I have at home is 9.5 * 6 cm. It's 2 cm high without anything mounted on top or bottom connectors.

    Dear All
    Please note:
    Due to an issue with getting challenge Kit out to some of our challengers the Safe & Sound Wearables Challenge project submission date has been extended further to Monday, 10th July 2017 at 09:00 GMT.

    Thank you to all our Challengers, we hope this gives you enough time to really sink your teeth into this challenge, finish your projects and hit the 10 updates finishing line.


    Good Luck!

    For anyone looking for a quick Pin-out reference for the LaunchPad and BoosterPacks, the TI Energia page has a link for the the pin-out for most of the devices.  These pin-out also include the Pin Number for the associate signal which certainly comes in handy.

    Randall,

    Thanks for the update.  Also, since I missed the opportunity in the previous post, I appreciate Element14 and Texas Instruments for providing such great tools to work with during this challenge.  I look forward to implementing these into my project and seeing what I can do with them. 

     

    You guys are awesome!

     

    Cheers,

     

    Jon

    Jon,

     

    We are waiting on that board to be delivered. We decided to send you out the remaining boards so you can get started. We'll have to send you a follow up shipment when that board gets in.

    I noticed from the pics/videos as well as the kit that I recently received the BOOSTXL-SENSORS Sensors Booster Pack is not included as listed in the list of devices from the Challenge Kit list.  Is this no longer available?

     

    Cheers,

    It uses a UART interface. I haven't checked if it's plug-in compatible, but certainly the protocol is a match.

    It would be nice to see this working!

    Any idea if something like the CC4000 GPS Module Kit would work with the MSP-EXP432P401R MCU? 

     

    I am not seeing it as a listed BoosterPack that is compatible.

    Raffi,

    Yes, that's allowed. There is one component you have to use, the  MSP-EXP432P401R launchpad.

    You're free to add your own components.
