430BOOST-SENSE1 Overview
www.ti.com
The Capacitive Sense BoosterPack features the new MSP430G2xx2 devices, which are capable of driving
up to 16 touch-sense enabled I/O pins. The included MSP430G2452 device allows for low-cost
capacitive-sensing and approximation-sensing applications without the use of any external components.
The BoosterPack includes a capacitive sense board and an MSP420G2452 device preprogrammed with a
demo application. The user experience application demonstrates capacitive sense as standalone feature
by showing the user interaction directly with the onboard LEDs, by a GUI, or by an application example on
a Microsoft Windows PC.
430BOOST-SENSE1 features:
•
Nine LEDs giving instant feedback to user interaction
•
Six touch-sense areas (a button, a 4-element wheel, and a proximity sensor)
•
One preprogrammed MSP430G2452 device
For latest information on the LaunchPad, other available BoosterPacks, software examples, and how to
