Wiring TI Launchpad

[Crossle86]

I'm sure I being dense here, but how do you use these headers to make one pin on the launchpad (I assume you are talking about doing the pad itself as the booster would be unnecessary if you can wire to the pad) into a 3 pin connection. Do you break off 3 pins but just put one pin in the socket on the launchpad?

You break off rows of headers and solder them to the pads that are directly behind the screw terminals. They are labeled the same as the screw terminals and are in the standard 3-pin arrangement: Signal-Power-Ground (S + -).

Take a look at the attached picture.
