dmyers 2 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 TI actually has a boosterpack design today. BoosterPacks are orderable on ti.com, and here is link to where the design is - http://www.ti.com/product/cc3000#doctype6 I also saw a couple comments about various MCUs - CC3000 is portable and we have doumentation on porting available (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC3000_Host_Driver_Porting_Guide). The main MCU where our sample code is on TI's MSP430 FRAM. Would anyone in the community be interested in building an Energia library for CC3000? Thanks Dana pine and bluehash 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Dana Thanks for chiming in Dana and welcome to 43oh! Do you have the files available in Eagle or Kicad or a freely available editor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SugarAddict 227 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 $35, not bad. Available for backorder, hehe. How long till in stock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 This was on HaD today. There is a footprint now available in eagle. The comments say there are some issues with it.. but looks like the hardest part is done. Maybe we could improve on it and follow the guide lines. It's in Altium though.

Just tried to order one but it looks like it is out of stock right not and is not available to the region I live (Asia / Hong Kong).. So could we expect that in the near future this restriction be lifted please? RichardVowles 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PolkaDot 12 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Bumping this back up because it seems there are a few CC3000MODs scattered across a few distributors, and I'm hoping to rekindle some discussion on the Boosterpack/Energia libraries TI's boosterpack still isn't available, though I got my sample module a couple weeks back.. and I think I saw TI has the design files online. Perhaps we can print a few? Also just generally, what do the Murata and LSR modules actually add beyond the reference design? I'm just trying to figure out where the $40 price hike comes from.

jpnorair 340 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 How is this going? If you want my simple advice, don't use a monopole antenna. Use a balanced antenna. A half-wave dipole would be the simplest example. roadrunner84 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner84 466 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 dipoles also are less dependent on groundplanes, a simple balun to match your tranceiver to your antenna isn't much of a problem either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmyers 2 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 The CC3000 BoosterPack will be broadly available through the TI eStore and distributors soon, and can currently be ordered today through Mouser: http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Texas-Instruments/CC3000BOOST/?qs=%2fha2pyFaduhq6Gd3DGQQ01opEep6faLKKm06y%2fghkiDYTlElZ2ZxYA%3d%3d As for the difference in module prices, LSR and Murata offer further design and product development services as compared to TI's self-service tools and example applications, and community forum support.

spirilis 1,265 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 TI is finally releasing theirs for $35: https://estore.ti.com/CC3000BOOST-CC3000-BoosterPack-P4258.aspx?DCMP=ecs-cc3000boost&HQS=ecs-cc3000boost-pr-sm2 As a side note, there are 2 bundle options where you can get this + MSP430 LaunchPad for $41 or this + Tiva C LaunchPad for $44. Drops the price a few bucks for each. bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 This is almost too good compared to the Wiznet one. The module itself sells for $35. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I just did a design for a client based on the Murata SN8200. I doubt that a booster board based on it would be under $35 since the Murata module is US$25 each from Digikey. TI has got the power of volume discounts on their side. spirilis 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
