Sensor Hub BoosterPack

Description

The Texas Instruments Sensor Hub BoosterPack (BOOSTXL-SENSHUB) is an add-on board designed to fit the Tiva™ C Series TM4C123G LaunchPad along with all of TI’s MCU LaunchPads. The Sensor Hub BoosterPack is a Tiva platform for evaluating the use of ARM® Cortex™-M4-based TM4C devices in sensor fusion applications, demonstrating the mathematical and algorithm computation features of the M4 architecture.
