BoosterPack Plug-in Module Pinout
The Educational BoosterPack plug-in module MKII adheres to the 40-pin LaunchPad development kit and
BoosterPack plug-in module pinout standard (see
between LaunchPad development kits and BoosterPack plug-in modules across the TI ecosystem.
The 40-pin standard is compatible with the 20-pin standard that is used by other LaunchPad development
kits like the MSP-EXP430G2. This allows for 20-pin LaunchPad development kits to be used with 40-pin
BoosterPack plug-in modules with some limited functionality.
The BOOSTXL-EDUMKII supports BoosterPack plug-in module stacking with its male and female
BoosterPack plug-in module headers. See how many BoosterPack plug-in modules you can stack onto
your LaunchPad development kit to add more functionality like wireless and battery power.
More information about compatibility can also be found at http://www.ti.com/launchpad.
