BOOSTXL-SENSORS: can be coded with Arduino nano

Art Mecina

Part Number: BOOSTXL-SENSORS

Hello Guys,

Good day.

Is BOOSTXL-SENSORS compatible with Arduino nano?

BOOSTXL-SENSORS is the replacement to the old BOOSTXL-SENSHUB. Does this mean the BOOSTXL-SENSHUB is compatible with Arduino nano too and that the sample code for onw will work on the other directly?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Art,

Which Arduino nano? Maybe you can use this tools to check if their pin are compatible.

The Arduino Nano that I know about (from Arduino) runs at 5V, and so is incompatible with the BOOSTXL-SENSORS [Ref BP UG (SLAU666B) Fig 3].

Energia provides the Arduino software environment on an MSP430 (and some other TI devices). Launchpads are pretty cheap. Johnson's link can help identify which Launchpads are compatible.

Thanks Guys!

How about the older BOOSTXL-SENSHUB is it not compatible with Arduino nano too?

Looking at the BOOSTXL_SENSHUB schematics [Ref UG (SPMU290) Sec 4.2] I don't see any level shifters, and e.g. the MPU-9150 is max 3.45V. Do you have reason to believe this was working?

The Arduino world is filled with variants, and I wouldn't be totally surprised if there were a 3V board that someone calls "Arduino Nano (not from Arduino)". Even so, I expect it would be the same shape/pinout as the Arduino Nano (else why call it that?), and the shape is also evidently incompatible with a Booster Pack. How compatible does it have to be?
