What are your plans with the KL25Z Freedom Board?

Former Member

I'm excited to get a hold of this board myself and start playing. My day to day job doesn't give me a chance to tinker, but this simple board with a fresh microcontroller is pushing me to make some time. Just curious, what do you plan to develop with the Freedom board? I'm still thinking what DIY project I can come up with to help me around the house. Maybe something to track my kids (j/k). Thanks!

    I'm planning on building a MythTv Appliance.  I wnat the appliance to act as a front-end and a backend.  The starting configuration should provide storage for (at least) one week of program schedules with the remainder being used to store the recordings.  In the initial stages, all of the storage will be provided by SD, but of course, that would prove to be too limited for most needs, so when SSDs come down even more, I will make provisions for that.  The RTC in the KL25Z is a bonus and at this time it appears that there won't be too much necessity of added components othe than an immediate need for SD storage.  I'm hoping that U5 - memory can be used by the processor.  I have some of them on order (backordered) and expect to be playing with it as soon as I receive them. 

    I am having some trouble right now getting the USB-UART drive installed.  I'll probably be posting a question in a more appropriate forum after I give up searching for the answer.
