traxman 23 Posted September 13, 2012 Hello, its my first post on 430Oh, sorry for my terrible English. I'm starting to design "Arduino-like" sensor shield for Launchpad. I would like use my Arduino Bricks and a lot of my own small extension module to work with Launchpad and Energia software. The main features of the project: - each Launchpad pin connected to SIP3 connector (arduino sensor compatibile GND/VCC/IO, for switches, buzzers ect), - dedicated connectors EH4 for I2C interface (arduino sensor compatibile GND/VCC/SDA/SCL, for RTC, EEPROM, NXP PCF's), - dedicated connectors EH4 for UART interface (arduino sensor compatibile GND/VCC/TX/RX, for RS232, USB-serial, Xbee, ect.) with possiblilties to switch (RTX jumper) RX<>TX signals (soft/hard MSP Uart), - SPI connectors (like Atmel IDC6 pin with RESET replaced by SS signal, for SPI LCD's, SDCARD, Wiznet solutions), with possiblilties to switch (SPX jumper) MOSI<>MISO signals (G2231/2542/2553), - small 3V3 power supply for sensor (LM1117-33), with routing power sources (PWX jumper: 1-3[ON] sensor powered from Launchpad, 1-2[ON], sensors powered from external supply, lauchpad from USB, 1-2[ON]+3-4[ON] all external), - 4bit independent level shifter (ADG3304) for external 5V level circuit (powered from external 5V), with HV1 dedicated for 5V serial communication (I2C ex. SAA1064/ 232 ex MAX232), HV2,3 dedicated connectors for 5V sensor, and HV dedicated for 5V SPI circuits. PCB files ... comming soon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluehash 1,577 Posted September 13, 2012 Very good work. Looking forward for this. Your English is fine and welcome to 43oh. Also, just a suggestion.. Shields are for Arduinos, BoosterPacks are for Launchpads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

traxman 23 Posted October 22, 2012 Appendix.A ... small bricks prototype board. Supported for 3/4 pin sensor and DIP8/SO8, SOT23, SOT23-6 mounted on prototype part. For easy use board included decoupling cap (0805) and two pairs Pull-Up, Pull-Down resistors (0805) (for ex. I2C terminating) and a few 0805 prototype components. Pcb's coming soon...
