Getting Started
3.1
Requirements
The Stepper Motor BoosterPack is not a standalone evaluation board and requires a compatible
LaunchPad kit to provide the appropriate control signals. In addition to the Stepper Motor BoosterPack
and a compatible LaunchPad, a stepper motor and sufficient power supply are required.
3.2
Configuring the LaunchPad
3.2.1
Example Using MSP-EXP430G2
For the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad, remove the P1.0 and P1.6 (LED1 and LED2) jumpers for correct
operation of the POT and SDO signals of the BoosterPack. The TXD and RXD jumpers should be aligned
horizontally (black rectangles in
) for operation of the hardware UART with a software application.

For other LaunchPads, ensure that the appropriate jumpers are configured on pins that the BOOST-
DRV8711 BoosterPack utilizes.
