bluehash 1,581 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Hello Everyone, We are pleased to announce the "43oh Project Of The Month" contest. This will be held every month starting from this month Nov-2010. This is an opportunity for you to show off what you can do with the MSP430. The forum has been growing both with good discussions and members. The project section of the forum as well as the Blog has a lot of project ideas you can base your submission on. Feel free to ask questions about the project on the forum. Now for the prize: [G]eekdoc has been kind enough to donate a pristine unopened Launchpad kit. Although you may already have one, having another Launchpad can be quite handy like a project you may not want to take apart or recreate [J]oby's SPI Ninja. Thanks Geekdoc for sponsoring this month's contest giveaway. To submit your entry, make an entry into this thread with the following: 1- A small description of your project. 2 - Code. 3 - Schematic(rough/hand drawn is fine as long its legible) About judging the winner : A week before the contest ends, a poll will be created with all the project entries. Only members of the forum will be allowed to vote. A few simple rules to follow: - You must be a member of the 43oh forum at least a week before your submission. - One entry from each member will be permitted. - Your project can be anything based around the MSP430. You may interface the MSP430 to another controller. - You may reuse code from anywhere as long as you give credit to the original author. - You must submit code and schematics of your project with a proper description.

gatesphere 45 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Sweet! Now, if I can pull myself away from Minecraft long enough to come up with something good... Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Sweet! Now, if I can pull myself away from Minecraft long enough to come up with something good... Try pulling me away from TF2... Link to post Share on other sites
GeekDoc 226 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Now, if I can pull myself away from Minecraft long enough to come up with something good... You could always model it in Minecraft first... Link to post Share on other sites
gatesphere 45 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Hahahaha... theoretically I could. Redstone is Turing complete, and the MSP430 devices are von Neumann architecture... but I also have classes. EDIT: Whipped something up. Nothing to do with Minecraft, but definitely to do with one of my other addictions I'll be polishing it up a bit before I submit it. Link to post Share on other sites

simpleavr 399 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 great work bluehash. glad to hear that. my chronos watch had lost 1/3 of it's lcd segments (after too much re-assembling cycles) and now i got a chance to win one. Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 fter too much re-assembling cycles hmmm...What that does mean? Link to post Share on other sites
simpleavr 399 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 i have to take it out for programming too often, most of the codes i was trying cannot be uploaded via wireless (also working under linux), after a while a lost a few segments here and there. Link to post Share on other sites
GeekDoc 226 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 after a while a lost a few segments here and there. I think the LCDs are cheap. Mine is leaking (black obscuring top of two digits) with very little use. Maybe they fixed it by now; mine was one of the first. Link to post Share on other sites
jbremnant 17 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 hmm.. i guess i wasn't the only one having woes with broken chronos lcd. I just got mine a month ago and it came broken. Anyways, this is a great way to get the community involved. Link to post Share on other sites
