A while back I put together some instructions on how to get a vanilla XO/Sugar to talk to a Texas Instruments MSP430 Launchad board (including 2 microcontrollers, shipping included, only $4.30) http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OLPC_XO-1
I'm pushing the concept further with some "Lab" activities on the subject, potentially hopefully (my track record not so good) a set of 10 Labs to start, (in Castillian) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CUHeUkDNtYurCu_KckwpJIcVdlumEIiZPOeRXtDV8nU/edit The inspiration is to bridge between the zero level of practical skills acquired in normal schooling and available stuff that already presupposes some knowledge, eventually getting to the excellent docs from Texas Instruments. The XO is great, with microcontrollers it can only get better! _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
