accelerometer, magnetometer, capacitive touch slider (not directly connected because there is no TSI 
module on the chip

only software TSS can be used with GPIO method), and ambient light sensor. 

The FRDM-KL43Z features the Freescale open standard embedded serial and debug adapter known as 
OpenSDA. This circuit offers several options for serial communications, flash programming, and run-control 
debugging.
