MSP430 Spy-Bi-Wire male header to this female header. Essentially it can be used to program the
MSP430 on the EVM instead of using the USB-to-JTAG interfaces.
Test and Interface Header (J4) —
J4 can be used to monitor input or output signals from the EVM or
supply external control signals.
Power Phase Test Pinouts—
These pinouts are to measure the single-H-bridge node voltages.
To Motor —
Two-port bulk header to connect the brushed DC motor.
To Power Supply —
Two-port power-supply bulk header. This header accepts supplies from 5.9 V to
45 V.
