szhao 17 Posted July 7, 2014 Since I am working on the Robotics Boosterpack with @@HylianSavior and @@jwp071, I decided to make a prototype with the box LaunchPad comes with. I've used Firmata to send command to LaunchPad. Check out my other post here. A quick overview of what's inside. Hardware - G2 LaunchPad Box - MSP430F5529LP - Fuel Tank Boosterpack - DRV8833 Motor Drive Control - HC-06 Bluetooth - Pololu Gear Motor - Caps, wires, breadboard Software - Firmata over serial (enabled by Bluetooth) - Energia Library on LP - NodeJS on PC 10 Automate, leomar01, username and 7 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szhao 17 Posted July 7, 2014 Yeah they are the Pololu gear motors running at 5V. This has very similar specs compared the Robotics Boosterpack we are making. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
