shabaz neat little do-dad. TI RTC app note is cool..

BTW when you put a link in like that add _blank to the target :))

Hi Shabaz,

Nice project, and very useful. I learned to program the MSP430G2xxx series microcontrollers when I first became interested in microcontrollers. As I remember, they don't have an RTC. I haven't delved into your code yet but am curious why in the I2C instruction set example RTC information is written to and read from the microcontroller. You must have an interesting application in mind for what is called the "main system" in your block diagram. Thanks for posting, I still have some MSP430G2xxx processors in my stash and could put this to use. And as you said in your previous blog, they can be purchased very cheaply right now.
