Operating the Booster Pack
3.1
Requirements
The dual brushed DC motor BoosterPack is not a standalone evaluation board and requires a compatible
LaunchPad kit to provide the appropriate control signals. In addition to the dual brushed DC motor
BoosterPack and a compatible LaunchPad, you will require one/two brushed DC motors and sufficient
power supply.

Launchpad Configuration
For the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad, keep the P1.0 (LED1) and P1.6 (LED2) jumpers for correct
operation of the
Status
indication of the BoosterPack firmware. Align the TXD and RXD jumpers
horizontally for operation of the hardware UART with the software application.

For other LaunchPads, ensure that the appropriate jumpers are configured on pins that the BOOST-
DRV8848 BoosterPack utilizes.
