Texas Instruments: Temperature, Wireless, USB Data Logger, Watch Development Tool (eZ430-Chronos)

Kit Overview The eZ430-ChronoseZ430-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 CC430F6137CC430F6137 <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. The eZ430-Chronos offers temperature and battery voltage measurement and is complete with a USB-based CC1111CC1111 wireless interface to a PC. The eZ430-Chronos watch may be disassembled to be reprogrammed with a custom application and includes an eZ430 USB programming interface.   Small form factor and ultra-low-power consumption Expandable for Personal Area Network applications Based on CC430: MSP430 MCUs with integrated <1 GHz RF Low cost development system   Key Applications:  Automotive and Transportation, Communications and Telecom, Consumer Electronics, Energy and Lighting, Industrial, Medical
