MSP430F5435A and CC2560 in the remote control of the new Amazon Fire TV http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Amazon+Fire+TV+Teardown/23856#s61356

Apple G5 PowerMac (PCI version, circa 2004)     There where also several other TI chips for power management and firewire on the huge motherboard.

Philips Hue Tap, a wireless light switch without battery, featuring a MSP430FR5730   Teardown by Adafruit, with the MSP430 discovered at the 15 minute mark. https://youtu.be/4T4nhuobjZM?t=875

Here is some shameless self-promotion:  I make and sell gauss meters that use MSP430G series chips:

My customers include slot-car racers who use them to tune motors,  guitar makers who build magnetic pickups, and Model-T Ford owners who rebuild their own generators.   The design is not open source.

KickSat is currently due to launch this weekend, on 30th March. Assuming all goes to plan there should be over a hundred MSP430s in low earth orbit, for a few days at least :)

EDIT: Launch delayed again :(

 

EDIT2: KickSat is in orbit! The individual sprites aren't deployed from the cubesat yet. I think the plan is to do that on April 30th (430 day :))

Nice, although I'm a bit surprised they didn't use an SoC of some sort -- using BT kind-of negates the idea that energy efficiency was a central design goal.

 

In any case, I have a friend at Lab126... I will ask if he was involved.  :)

Hello all,

 

This seems to be a custom Chronos watch (it has a buzzer) as part of the GoalControl system:

The article explaining the system use can be found at: http://arstechnica.com/business/2014/06/goal-line-tech-arrives-at-world-cup-promises-to-halt-endless-arguments/

Nice find. I recently got a Surface Pro 1 - not that different to the Pro 2 and I got a great deal as they were obviously clearing stock before the Pro 3 arrived. With 2 kids my geek time has been reduced and it's now easier to use Eagle (with a pen for board layout) or even CCS (with a LP dangling by my side) in front of the TV.

The same SSD and unidentifiable MSP430 is also found in Surface Pro 2

Nice find indeed. It looks like a MSP430G2201. Wonder why the marking looks so vanished.

Anyways, there shouldn't be anything after the 2201 in the second row, but it looks like there is something.
