MSP432 Fun with IoT Prework

• Open up your LaunchPad and connect it to your computer with the USB cable

• Open Energia and make sure your LaunchPad can blink

– File > Examples > Basics > Blink

• Connect your CC3100 BoosterPack to your LaunchPad (top or bottom)

– Make sure it is oriented correctly the USB port should be sticking out on the

right side. “CC3100BOOST Rev 4.0” should be readable

• Connect your Educational BoosterPack MK II to the LaunchPad (top)

– Make sure it is oriented correctly, the joystick should be on the left

• Connect your Servo Motor to the Educational BoosterPack MKII servo connector

– Your servo will be connected to pin 19 with the BoosterPack

• The Lab is documented at the hackster MSP432 Fun with IoT Workshop

https://www.hackster.io/measley2/msp432-fun-with-iot-workshop-2016-5a6519

• In this lab we will get started with Educational BPMKII

– In this sketch we will explore some of the functionality of the BoosterPack

Joystick, Pushbuttons, RGB LED, LCD, Accelerometer, Servo, etc.

– You can modify the lab a bit to customize, but we need to press on!

• Next we will control a servo with Wi-Fi (use your phone or computer)

– This will help us test Wi-Fi in AP mode

– See how we make a simple connection from hardware to a “Web App”

• Lastly we will play with cloud service Temboo, an API aggregator

– We will learn how to tweet with Temboo

– Temboo helps generate the code for us! Feel free to customize
