Title: TI eZ430 Chronos
Post by: turiqwalrus on April 21, 2013, 03:25:41 pm

So, as some may know, but most likely don't, it was my birthday yesterday err... on the 19th. posted this a day too late xP, an in the process, I got my hands on this interesting little piece of gadgetry. At the moment, I don't have much of an idea about how I can use it, but the website here (http://www.ti.com/tool/ez430-chronos&DCMP=Chronos&HQS=Other+OT+chronos) says something about a 3-axis accelerometer and a 430 mHz operating frequency, so it sounds pretty decent...
The display is a segmented thingy, though, so it might be a bit iffy for game programming, at least :/

A hackable MSP430 mounted in a watch? That's pretty cool. Have fun with this ^_^

Also happy (late) birthday ^_^

Happy birthday!
This looks really cool actually... Can it be used as a normal watch? I should get a new one soon...

I remember a programmable watch with a color touch screen but I don't know what it's called. It even had bluetooth. :D
That looks cool anyway.
And happy bday too. :)
