I have one of the TI Chronos 430 watch dev kits, got it at a trade show.
Never tried it out. Maybe I played with it at the conference.
Anyone want it? You can have it for shipping.

Interesting. I plugged MPS430 into mouser and what came up is a large
100 pin chip that is fairly expensive.

The whole MSP430 toolchain is free. You only pay if you want the slightly
better optimiser in the commercial variant which also allows bigger binaries,
however the gnu MSP430 compiler has no limits, is fully supported by the TI
IDE, and is free - TI's commercial offering is the same gnu gcc/g++
John,
I purchase 5 of these. MSP-EXP430G2
They were like $4.30
Like most projects, I never used them. One here and open while the rest
are stored somewhere in the garage. Mine are 14 pin.

The launchpads are excellent/astonishing value.
Have a look at the MSP-EXP430FR5969 which is the one I mostly use. Phenomenal
board for a stupidly low price.

John,
TI makes a thing called the Tiva C Launchpad. A sub $20 ARM board with
USB (even Ethernet on some models!). It can be programmed with Energia,
which is a spinoff of the Arduino IDE.
Basically, an Arduino style board with a lot more CPU power.
I still haven't found how to integrate the
Ahhh, OK. Thanks. Sheds a much different light on things.

Ahhh HA! Good to know I'm not the only one who dealt with that PIC problem.
Worked with the Microchip FAEs for months on it. I finally got them to
admit there was a bug in the circuit prompted a revision on their part
and a work-around on mine. It was intolerant of a non-monotonic or too

John,
I also hope that the AVR series keeps living, as it drives the world of
makers.
I live in Tucson, not far from Microchip's Chandler AZ headquarters, and
Steve Sanghi, their CEO, is a big supporter of high school robotics in
Arizona. I've spoken with him several times. I'll ask him
