dubnet 238 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Saw this over on TI's E2E forum. Looks like after about 2 years since it was shown in a trade show in Germany, the Wolverine Launchpad will be launching in the next 3-4 weeks. http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/msp430/f/166/t/169554.aspx?pi283121=2 tripwire 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

juani_c 66 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Just found it: cubeberg, pine, RobG and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pine 140 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Can't wait to get one! Given the Sharp booster itself is $20, I'd guess this newest member of the LP family will be around $50. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I can't see that YouTube video as I'm at work, but found these links on TI's site for the LP on its own (price?) and also bundled with LCD ($29): http://www.ti.com/tool/msp-exp430fr5969 http://www.ti.com/tool/msp-bndl-fr5969lcd Nice price for the bundle, but it seems you can't pre-order it yet. Some nice info if you follow the document links - e.g. about the on-board supercap. http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/slau535/slau535.pdf (LP) http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/slau553/slau553.pdf (LCD booster) pine, cubeberg and tripwire 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chicken 630 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Doh! So much for the timing of finally doing my own Sharp Memory Display booster pack $19.90 for the booster pack with display is definitely a good price. The display is $18 in single quantities from Mouser. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Now that I've seen the video, it seems there's loads of info in there!There's also a 6-part video tutorial on using the new LP: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockets4kids 204 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 All this time they took to get it out the door and they couldn't update the PCB to include the 40-pin headers? Also, what is the deal with JTAG header? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 After noticing that the Tiva C Connected LaunchPad was available for pre-order I had a quick look at the Wolverine LaunchPad... and that was showing as "in stock" . Obviously I immediately ordered one (with memory LCD booster of course). I'll let you know if it updates to shipped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greeeg 460 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I've been working with the smaller pin count FRAM MSP's notably MSP430FR5938's. and just put in a request for wolverine samples, (which were granted! ). And now I see this!! of course I've just ordered one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
