>Hey gang!

>Good group at AQRP today.  A couple of Altoids projects and some neat
>portable paddles comprised show-and-tell today.
>
>For those of you who saw my MSP430 KickStart kit this AM, and who are
>toying with the idea of building something with a microcontroller, here is
>some info for investigating further.  Unfortunately, TI's web site is one
>of those java-based, cgi-based web sites, where the links are generated by
>the server engine and include a seesion ID etc, so it's dang near
>impossible to e-mail a link to somebody.  (Do the people who build
>commercial web sites ever think of these things?)
>
>The base link for TI is http://www.ti.com/
>
>  From there, enter the following in their search engine to take you to
>useful links:
>
>"msp430" for the homepage of the MSP430 family of flash-based 16-bit
>microcontrollers.
>
>"msp-fet430x110" for info on the $50 Flash development kit, which includes
>a hardware programmer good for the MSP430F1121 (4K Flash, 4 MHz max, 20
>pins, about $3.50 from Digikey), two microcontroller chips, an Integrated
>Development Environment (IDE), unlimited assembler/linker, and a C-compiler
>limited to 1 K of compiled code.  Comparable tools from other manufacturers
>are about $200.
>
>To order the Kickstart Kit, call TI direct at 800-477-8924, Ext.
>5801.  They take credit cards, and mine was on my doorstep 2 days
>later.  Distributors apparently do not stock this kit (not enough money, I
>guess)
>
>By the way, I haven't actually loaded any code yet, so I can't really speak
>to the KickStart kit, but I'm looking forward to doing something clever
>with it... maybe flash an LED on and off, or something equally
>earth-shattering ;-)
