Chronos: Wireless development tool in a watch Description The eZ430-Chronos is a highly integrated, wearable wireless development system based for the CC430 in a sports watch. It may be used as a reference platform for watch systems, a personal display for personal area networks, or as a wireless sensor node for remote data collection. Based on the CC430F6137 <1 GHz RF SoC, the eZ430-Chronos is a complete CC430-based development system contained in a watch. This tool features a 96 segment LCD display and provides an integrated pressure sensor and 3-axis accelerometer for motion sensitive control. The integrated wireless feature allows the Chronos to act as a central hub for nearby wireless sensors such as pedometers and heart rate monitors.

Interfacing Microcontrollers with SD Card - OpenLabPro.com The secure digital card (SD) is a low cost, non-volatile memory card format developed by the SD Card Association. Since its inception back at the start of the century, the demand for this medium-sized, energy and space efficient, memory storage device has been growing at a fast rate. Therefore, to meet the market requirements, the SDA was set up as a non-profit organization to promote and create SD card standards. There are various topics related to the SD card such as the different device families, speed classes, smart cards, card security and so on and it is used in various markets like digital cameras, personal computers, and embedded systems.
EZ430-Chronos The eZ430-Chronos is a highly integrated, wireless development system that provides a complete reference design for developers creating wireless smart watch applications. Chronos is a reference platform for many applications, such as wireless watch systems, personal displays for personal area networks, wireless sensor nodes for remote data collection, & other applications. Based on the CC430F6137 <1 GHz RF SoC, the eZ430-Chronos is a complete CC430-based development system, featuring a 96 segment LCD display and provides an integrated pressure sensor and 3-axis accelerometer for motion sensitive control. The integrated wireless feature allows the Chronos to act as a central hub for nearby wireless sensors such as pedometers and heartrate monitors. The eZ430-Chronos offers temperature and battery voltage measurement and is complete with a USB-based CC1111 (kits with black PCBs) or CC1101/MSP430F5509 (kits with white PCBs) wireless interface to a PC.
Top 5 Wireless Ways to Communicate with your Controller One of the strongest trend we have seen this year at CES2015 is, as you can imagine easily, the IoT (Internet of Things) development. Consequently, the most important component needed is the “connection and communication” module that enables the remote interaction between the device and “the community” via internet. Here we will sum up the various possibilities you can use to connect your controller using different wireless protocols. WiFi ESP8266 WiFi Module is a WiFi serial transceiver module, based on ESP8266 SoC.
Control an Arduino With a Wristwatch (TI eZ430 Chronos) The watch The Texas Instruments eZ430 Chronos is a cool gadget. It has bidirectional radio communication, and a whole bunch of sensors: temperature, pressure, acceleration. In fact, it is a development kit for the MSP 430 (a low-power microcontroller), that TI packaged as a watch (pure genius!), and delivered with plenty of tools. Its firmware can be modified to implement new features into the watch. Even without developing anything on the watch, it is a terrific toy: - the watch alone is pretty cool --and has the TI logo ;-), - the default features allow for a wide range of cool experimentations and developments around it.
ez430-Chronos Accelerometer and Theremin The Texas Instruments ez430-Chronos watch is based on the MSP430 architecture, and features a number of built-in sensors that may be polled wirelessly through an RF receiver. We use LabVIEW to poll the watch and interpret accelerometer data. Texas Instruments ez430-Chronos ( 2011 SP1JKI VI Package ManagerNI-VISA 5.1 Accessing SAM MCU Registers in C - Developer Help This page will show you how to access SAM MCU Peripheral registers and bit fields in C, without the use of any framework, such as Advanced Software Framework (ASF3) or START. Additionally, you will learn how to access the SAM CPU-based peripherals using the Arm® Cortex® Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS) core APIs, which are also included as part of the standard SAM MCU compiler toolchain in Atmel® Studio. For standard MCU peripherals, such as UART, SPI, ADC etc, the compiler toolchain contains specially developed Device-Specific, Instance and Component header files that simplify coding for direct and indirect access of the registers and bitfields in these hardware modules. For CPU-based peripherals, such as the Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) or the System Timer, APIs from the Cortex CMSIS are used for configuration.
myDAQ Protoboard Kit This kit is designed to connect directly to the National Instruments myDAQ measurement and control tool. The board consists of a prototyping space with GND and 5V rails as well as each I/O line from the myDAQ broken out to standard 0.1" pitched headers. In addition, a breadboard is included with adhesive backing which can be mounted over the prototyping area for solderless prototyping. All of the myDAQ I/O lines are also broken out to female headers to make breadboarding with jumper wires simpler. The National Instruments myDAQ is an affordable measurement and control tool that allows students to perform experiments anywhere. If you aren't familiar with it, have a look at the NI myDAQ website below.
Multiple Buttons on single Interrupt Hey, I´m working on a project where I need more Buttons then I have interrupt Pins available. I don´t want to use digitalRead() in the loop and poll every button every loop, it slows down the loop to much for my application. I was thinking of hooking up the Buttons individually to normal IO pins and also wire them together into a single Interrupt Pin.
