"My long lost twin has just shown up on my doorstep."
I have just taken delivery on my second Fraunchpad. This allows me to use both CC3000 WiFi modules concurrently thus opens Pandora's box for more possibilities.
Including a backup spare if I should accidentally blow up or fry the original one.
I always feel safer with an emergency Plan B on hand.
I've plugged in the Murata CC3000 Module, uploaded the HA demonstration app and both appear to work fine.
More testing is required.
The Murata module is considerable smaller that its LS Reseach counterpart but its performance may differ because it has a different and what appears smaller antenna configuration and a tap point connector.
Using this module with a MSP430FRAM5739 on a custom PCB would produce a very small device indeed.
The plan for tonight is to set up a Twitter account so that I can twitter the new Fraunchpad and display.
This will involve modifying the standard CC3000 Home Automation with Twitter demonstration example and integrating it with an LCD interface.
Wishful thinking.
Let's see how I go.
Addendum:
I've never used Twitter before so I created an account then created an application and finally associated the application with the account.
This generated all the necessary parameters required in the manifest.xml file to make the HA demonstration work with Twitter.
