View table of contents ...  

TI Fuel Tank BoosterpackThe Fuel Tank BoosterPack from element14 and Texas Instruments allows Texas Instruments LaunchPads to be powered from a rechargeable lithium polymer battery BoosterPack, further enabling mobile application development and evaluation.
The Fuel Tank BoosterPack works with TI LaunchPads and includes an onboard lithium polymer battery charger and gas gauge that can output the critical parameters of the battery, including temperature, charging state, capacity, and more. The BoosterPack comes with a lithium polymer battery cell, which is charged through an onboard USB connector.
Features
  • Works with all existing LaunchPads
  • Onboard bq24210 Li-Ion battery charger
  • Onboard bq27510-G2 Gas Gauge
  • 1 LED for Low battery indication
  • 1 LED to indicate the battery is charging
  • Charges through USB
  • Outputs: Battery temp, voltage, avg. current, chage state, design and remaining capacity
  • Includes 3.7V 1200mAH Lithium Polymer battery
  • Two 20-pin of headers for connection to the Texas Instruments LaunchPads
MSP430F5529 LaunchPad™
MSP430 LaunchpadThe MSP430 LaunchPad now has USB! The MSP-EXP430F5529LP LaunchPad (or the “F5529 LaunchPad”) is an inexpensive, simple evaluation module for the MSP430F5529 USB microcontroller. It's an easy way to start developing on the MSP430, with an on-board emulation for programming and debugging, as well as buttons and LEDs for simple user interface.
Rapid prototyping is a snap, thanks to 40-pin BoosterPack expansion headers, as well as a wide range of available BoosterPack plug-in modules. You can quickly add features like wireless, displays, sensors, and much more. You can either design your own BoosterPack, or choose among many already available from TI and elsewhere. The 40-pin interface is compatible with any 20-pin BoosterPack that is compliant with the standard.
The MSP-EXP430F5529LP LaunchPad includes the MSP430F5529 16-bit MCU with 128KB Flash, 8KB RAM, up to 25MHz CPU speed, integrated USB 2.0 PHY, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), timers, serial communication (UART, I2C, SPI) and more! Free and Open Source USB API stacks and the MSP430 USB Descriptor Tool, available through the MSP430 USB Developers Package allowing for quick configuration of USB applications.Free software development tools are also available, such as TI’s Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio and IAR Embedded Workbench.
