ADS1231REF: Boosterpack and design files?

Andreas Hansen

Part Number: ADS1231REF
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1231, , CC3220SF-LAUNCHXL

I'm designing an industrial weighing system at my company where we use load cells. To quickly get started with the development we have bought the ADS1231REF evaluation module. This has been a great tool to make some quick tests with our load cell in combination with the ADS1231 that we would like to end up using in our final design. The ADS1231REF is however limited to be used with the onboard MSP430 along with a serial command line interface to a PC.

Our next natural step is to interface the ADS1231 from our main board - the CC3220SF-LAUNCHXL. In that respect I would like to hear:

1) Do you know about any boosterpack-like boards that include the ADS1231 or do I need to design one myself?

2) Would it be possible to get access to the design files of the ADS1231REF? (I.e. both the schematic, layout and C-code running on the MSP430)

Looking forward to hear from you.

Best Regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Unfortunately we do not have a BoosterPack for the ADS1231. One option I have used in the past is to disable communication to the ADS1231 on the ADS1231REF board, and then use the test points to wire into the Launchpad. Of course another option would be to build your own board.

Unfortunately we do not offer the design database for the ADS1231REF project. The gerber files and firmware are located on the TI ftp server and available for download. The files are located at:

ftp://ftp.ti.com/pub/data_acquisition/ADS1x31REF/

Best regards,
