Tiva C Series TM4C1294 Connected LaunchPad

Also note most not doing reviews are < level 3, hence why I have suggested in the past that for the big road tests there should be a minimum level needed to get them.

There are often things that should work that don't. I have spent weeks getting a basic WiFi boosterpack to open a socket with no success, so I know what you are talking about. But posting on support forums as well as over here and seeing if Element14 has a contact in the specific company for you to get the needed help can sometimes go along way to getting things moving again as well as letting the community know that here are issues with the product, this information only adds to the review.

As for enforcement of the rules I doubt there is a blacklist that is actually enforced (there are a good few uncompleted road tests if you go through the forums). Just do your review and keep all the above suggestions in mind for future road tests.

Don't be afraid to ask for help, there are a LOT of good people here.

Again I am sorry for the delays Mark, I got the kit but was out of station, So was not able to work on it. I will get the review soon, probability within end of this  weekend.

Further, I had seen many Videos and had read the example application, and it clearly Mentions that you can use this kit with a PROXY SERVER. Just change the "proxysettings" or use "setproxy" cmd on uart. unfortunately that didn't happen with my kit. I tried as far as i can go , i.e. setting up static proxy in the code and nup doesn't work. I hadn't Imagined that would happen. so I had to fall back to the unnatural configuration.

I think that the other lesson is, if someone has a problem then they need to speak up about it and share, because I'm pretty sure someone (especially on this community) can help.

I donno how this turns out, but eagerly waiting for your awesome review.

The delivery is a shame .. but

so if you've the product for that period where is the review.?

I think the lesson here is that applicants should ensure they the necessary resources in order to undertake the reviews.

I know that Sucks, but I couldn't help it. I got the Kit delivered really late and over that I was out of station when it did. So I really had about 2 months to work on that. moreover I don't have an Ethernet connection at my room, and the kit refused to work with the android WiFi AP bridged to Ethernet, worst happened when it also refused to work with my college proxy settings in place that took a load of time.

Finally i was able to get it working with a Android AP shared with Ethernet with some settings and it got the CIK . So thats what i will be share my exp. with the review. I am really sorry for the delays and i have also mentioned that earlier.

Lastly, I did mentioned this to Christian DeFeo, So Let's see .

If I am disqualified from further RoadTests it's fine I'll still have you awesome Guys So really doesn't matter. Hopefully i wont be kicked from the community, cauz that will really suck.

Seems he isn't the only one who hasn't provided a review .....

Hi Gurinder. Hope your review is fun, however because you're so late with it I think it disqualifies you for future reviews. I know it sucks but that's part of the agreement. Just wanted to let you know in case you get turned down in the future.

However I'm still looking forward to your review!

AaaaHhhhhhh Finally , Got the damn thing working , I really dont know Why these things doesn't support university Proxy ?? It seams to me like they are saying "Please dont use me @ university "

Review comming Soom

HI Guys, due to some unavoidable circumstances My review will be delayed. Sorry for the delay

Thanks for the reply peter, but @ TI eStore, there's 2options , i.e. one with headers and one without ! and by headers I didn't mean the 20x4 0.1" standard Boosterpack Headers, but I meant the 49x2 0.1" Angled Headers for bread board interfacing.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for the replay

HI Vishnu - 

Yes, the kits have shipped; however we're going to have to ask for a bit of patience in receiving them - they are going all over the globe! 

Thanks.

Best Regards, Christian

Hey,

Are the kits shipped?? Anybody got it in hand?? I'm still waiting for mine.

Is it possible to get any tracking ID for my shipment??

Thanks ahead,

Vishnu Raj

All of the launch pads come with the headers in my experience, in the picture shown you can clearly see them and in fact this board has two sets of them.

what does not come are cables like the PI Cobbler where you can attach a ribbon cable to the board and the other end attaches to a breadboard

the size of a launch pad pretty much makes it unable to plug directly into a breadboard so you will have to simply use jumper wires to make the connections

the user guide states that it uses the stackable headers and that would lead me to believe it has sockets on the underside but no pictures i found showed the bottom of the board so i was unable to verify

hope that helps

Thanks you element14

Hi Christian DeFeo, just out of curiosity are we getting a With Headers version of the kit it will be helpful while connecting the board to Breadboard for prototyping ?

Thank You Element14
