bluehash 1,581 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Not sure what the previous price was. Good if you are bundling other TI boards. Shipping is $7. Looks like it comes with the CAP touch BoosterPack as well as the C5000( has an OLED too). http://www.ti.com/tool/430boost-c55audio1 https://store.ti.com/430BOOST-C55AUDIO1-C5000-Audio-Capacitive-Touch-BoosterPack-P5078.aspx The Audio Capacitive Touch BoosterPack (430BOOST-C55AUDIO1) is a plug in board for the MSP430 pine and SteveR 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sterny 12 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thanks the heads-up! It's interesting, at the following sheet, http://www.ti.com/lit/ml/sprt630/sprt630.pdf It says it includes the MSP430G2553IN20 uc and the photo shows the G2 launchpad, but then goes on to say the MSP430 launchpad is not included, and the uc will replace the MSP430 on the launchpad. I guess the launchpad is necessary just for programming? I'm going to pick up a couple. (edit, there's a limit of one). Thanks again. Sterny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 I think the kit ships with a pre-programmed MSP430G2553 to replace the one on the G2 Launchpad. The Launchpad does cap touch sensing and sends commands to the C5000 such as pause, stop, play and volume. SteveR and Sterny 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sterny 12 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Ah, thanks...makes sense to me now. I had envisioned the MSP430 being on the booster pack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
