BoosterPacks

The Connected LaunchPad provides an easy and inexpensive way to develop applications with the

TM4C1294NCPDTI microcontroller. BoosterPacks are add-on boards that follow a pin-out standard

created by Texas Instruments. The TI and third-party ecosystem of BoosterPacks greatly expands the

peripherals and potential applications that you can easily explore with the Connected LaunchPad.

You can also build your own BoosterPack by following the design guidelines on TI’s website. Texas

Instruments even helps you promote your BoosterPack to other members of the community. TI offers a

variety of avenues for you to reach potential customers with your solutions.

Energ

īa

Energ

īa is an open-source electronics prototyping platform started in January of 2012 with the goal of

bringing the Wiring and Arduino framework to the TI LaunchPad community. Energ

īa includes an

integrated development environment (IDE) that is based on Processing.

Together with Energ

īa, LaunchPads can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a

variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs.

LaunchPad projects can be stand-alone (only run on the target board, i.e. your LaunchPad), or they can

communicate with software running on your computer (Host PC). Energ

īa projects are highly portable

between supported LaunchPad platforms. Projects written for your Connected LaunchPad can be run on

other LaunchPads with little or no modifications.
