1.4 BoosterPacks
The Crypto Connected LaunchPad provides an easy and inexpensive way to develop applications with the
TM4C129ENCPDT microcontroller. BoosterPacks are add-on boards that follow a pin-out standard
created by Texas Instruments. The TI and third-party ecosystem of BoosterPacks greatly expands the
peripherals and potential applications that you can easily explore with the Crypto Connected LaunchPad.
You can also build your own BoosterPack by following the design guidelines on TI’s website. Texas
Instruments even helps you promote your BoosterPack to other members of the community. TI offers a
variety of avenues for you to reach potential customers with your solutions.
1.5 Energīa
Energīa is an open-source electronics prototyping platform started in January of 2012 with the goal of
bringing the Wiring and Arduino framework to the TI LaunchPad community. Energīa includes an
integrated development environment (IDE) that is based on Processing.
Together with Energīa, LaunchPads can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a
variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs.
LaunchPad projects can be stand-alone (only run on the target board, for example, your LaunchPad), or
they can communicate with software running on your computer (Host PC). Energīa projects are highly
portable between supported LaunchPad platforms.
