Actually, I should specify this further: 433 Mhz will work anywhere, 915 will do in the US but *may* have longer range - TI doesn't say, but if all else is equal... So the 433 is the one to go for universality, and maybe the 915 for a slightly better range. > I use other microcontrollers from PICxxx to ATxxx and have been > following these MSP430, and thought about getting the $5 eval board, so > what are your thoughts on this watch ? I have the eval board for the MSP430, but I haven't found the time to use it. I think that's the bigger bottleneck... there are several very affordable USB-based development options for the MSP430, it is just a matter of having the time to do something fitting the environment, which is not as open-ended as having a full Linux system on hand (like, say, a BeagleBone). So, I'd say it is good if one has a fitting application for it. Best -F _________________________________________ -- "'Problem' is a bleak word for challenge" - Richard Fish (Federico L.
