bluehash 1,581 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 haha... I love your wireless speaker. Which one is that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SugarAddict 227 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 One realllllllly cheap one... I got two sets of them from Home Depot for $1 each. Simple RF, gets a lot of interference randomly, works great in the new house though. I use them to jam in the garage while soldering... funny thing is I just bought a $25 mp3 player because the really old one I had wouldn't play some of my newer music... this booster played them fine... could have skipped buying the player and just used the booster! lol I just wish they would make a booster with just the LCD they put on this thing, it's tiny and nice! I like it! So far this booster is seeming pretty sweet, definitely going to have to dig into it and see what I can do :think: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cde 334 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 If your in the states you can do their survey for a chance to win one of these boosterpacks. FYI - the survey link is available on this page Thanks for the head's up on that! The page itself says free boosterpack for filling out the survey, not just a chance to win. The survey says its an entry for a chance to win the boosterpack :? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pine 140 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 There is an "1" at the end of the part code ( 430BOOST-C55AUDIO1), does this suggest there will be more similar product? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kylej1050 27 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I2S isn't exposed for an external stream into the C5000 is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Balloons 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I've just ordered 3 kits from TI store, very cool,... like a portable media player... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TomKraut 17 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I2S isn't exposed for an external stream into the C5000 is it? Unfortunately, no. The only way to get I2S would be to lift the TLV320AIC from the board and solder wires to the pads. But since it is a QFN package, this wouldn't be practical... But then, the ezDSP C5535 is not that expensive... ;-) Cheers TomKraut Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cde 334 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 From the Product Page, emphasis mine. The C5535 ultra-low-power digital signal processor-based BoosterPack is a plug-in board for the MSP430 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TomKraut 17 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Alright, alright, I will order one when my next paycheck arrives And I will try to build that baseboard I was talking about, with an integrated XDS100 emulator... which can pull double duty as a USB to UART converter, btw...

EngIP 31 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I kind of feel the same way as Tom. I mean, you could use a beagleboard/RasPi/FPGA to do some heavy processing, and attach a Launchpad via the UART to send start/stop signals, but does that make it a "Multimedia HDMI ARM/Custom core Booster pack"? Taking it to an extreme, could I patch a launchpad into my car's ECU and re-name my car "The Transport Booster Pack"? To my mind, a "booster" pack adds a little extra functionality to the dev board. When the booster pack is capable of all of the MCU duties and more, doesn't the LP become the booster to the MP3 dev board? That said, it's great value, and I will certainly be purchasing one I just wanted to let Tom know he's not alone in his bemusement Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cde 334 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 For a comparison, they use regular cars to haul race cars. They use tiny little tram cars to move planes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kylej1050 27 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Its not completely useless to have the launchpad, the c5000 doesn't support captouch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
