izdane 6 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 "Once these kits are gone, they're gone!" So they are clearing out Chronos stock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Once they're gone - meaning probably around 2018. I'm not knocking the Chronos - it's a nice and fairly original dev kit / toy. It's just that they obviously have loads of stock. Why not just stick it at $25 and leave it there? pine 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think i still have the screen at home... Heh heh... I bought-up a bunch at last TI deals. Back in 2009 I was trying to get TI to make a sub 600 MHz optimized version of CC430, and call it CC433. They didn't do it. :grin: A little bird told me that a new version of the Chronos kit is underway. You may have noticed how all of TI's kits have gone to the white soldermask. They are continuing that motif. As far as I know, the watch itself is unchanged, but the USB stick is using an MSP430F5509. It, um, might look like this. bluehash, Fred and pine 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
