‑
EXP430G2ET)
Figure 9. BoosterPack Checker Tool
shows the 20-pin pinout of the connector from the LaunchPad development kit to a BoosterPack
plug-in module.
Software configuration of the pin functions plays a role in compatibility. The LaunchPad development kit
side of the dashed line shows only the applicable function for conforming to the standard. However, each
pin has other functionality that can be configured by the software. See the MSP430G2553 data sheet for
more details on individual pin functions.
