mfny 0 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Hi, Looking at buying the C2000 Launchpad however I have two questions. First is I understand some jumpers are missing, the link on TI to suitable jumpers leads to a place that ships from the US and I am in the UK. Would these work from a more local source ? http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?sku=CN14485 Also would there be something from cpc/farnell UK that I could put on the boosterpack pins underneath the board to protect them ?

spirilis 1,265 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I just got mine recently and haven't surveyed the details much, but yeah that looks like a very nice jumper (very nice, in that it has a handle built in! Most of them you see nowadays don't...) Not sure what to put underneath, in fact that's a question I have been trying to answer too. My reasons are more to protect the pins from bending during transportation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TI_Trey 38 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 The LaunchPads that are shipping now have jumpers on them. Nothing extra is needed. To protect the bottom pins I would recommend ordering a female socket that you can put over the pins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
