1 Introduction

The CapTIvate MSP430FR2676 MCU board (CAPTIVATE-FR2676) is a simple evaluation board for evaluating capacitive touch and proximity sensors through the use of plug-in sensor boards (sold separately). The MCU board has a 20-pin female debug connector for debugging the on-board MSP430FR2676 CapTIvate MCU and a 48-pin sensor panel connector for connecting to external capacitive touch sensors. Also included on the MCU board is a partially filled BoosterPack™ plug-in module header, which enables limited support for the LaunchPad™ kit and BoosterPack module ecosystem.
