Section II LaunchPad preparation
This section will cover how to prepare the MSP432P401R LaunchPad for
use on the Texas Instruments Robotic Systems Learning Kit, also known
as the TI-RSLK Max.
2.0 Needed Items
To follow along with this section, you’ll need the following:
•
One TI MSP-EXP432P401R LaunchPad board
•
One 2x19 female-to-male header
•
And one 2x1 female-to-male header
•
Soldering iron
•
Solder
Both of the headers mentioned above can be found by going to
Figure 1. Needed Items
2.1 Install 2x19 header onto the LaunchPad
Insert the 2x19 header into the corresponding set of 2x19 vias at the far
edge of the LaunchPad board, marked as J5 (Figure 2). The header pins
need to be inserted from the underside of the board, similar to the other
headers that are already soldered to the board. Now solder all of these
pins to the board (Figure 3).
