SimpleLink CC2650 Wireless MCU LaunchPad Kit
Most of you know the CC2650 as the controller that comes in the SensorTag(CC2650STK) form factor. Well, TI yesterday released the same chip in the BoosterPack platform. The good thing about this or at least seems to be is that the board can run standalone or be connected to any of the other Launchpads.
The CC2650 LaunchPad kit is supported by the SimpleLink Starter app for iOS and Android. This app connects your LaunchPad to your smartphone using Bluetooth Smart and lets you control from a simple and intuitive app interface. The Simplelink Starter App supports reading the LaunchPad buttons, as well as controlling LEDs and all I/O signals on the BoosterPack™ connectors.
