The Sensors BoosterPack plug-in module adheres to the 40-pin LaunchPad development kit and
BoosterPack plug-in module pinout standard. A standard was created to aid compatibility between
LaunchPad development kits and BoosterPack plug-in modules across the TI ecosystem.

near the Sensors BoosterPack plug-in module as heat, shade, and electromagnetic fields can adversely
affect the sensors readings.

TI OPT3001 Light Sensor
The OPT3001 is a digital ambient light sensor (ALS) that measures the intensity of light as visible by the
human eye. Covering the sensor with a finger or shining a flashlight on it changes the output of the
OPT3001. The digital output is reported over an I
2-wire serial interface. The reference designator for the OPT3001 is U1.

TI TMP007 Temperature Sensor
The TMP007 is a digital infrared (IR) thermopile contactless temperature sensor with integrated math
engine that measures the temperature of an object without having to be in direct contact. Placing your
hand over the sensor increases the sensor output. The digital output is reported over an I
compatible, 2-wire serial interface. The reference designator for the TMP007 is U5.

NOTE: The TMP007 infrared temperature sensor is no longer populated on this BoosterPack board,
and only the PCB footprint is provided due to the end-of-life status of the device.
