chicken 630 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Today Hackaday featured someone that replaced the innards of a Casio watch with an MSP430FR6972 http://hackaday.com/2016/05/30/gutting-and-rebuilding-a-classic-watch/ Very well documented on GitHub, including more pictures: https://github.com/carrotIndustries/pluto If the author is on 43oh: agaelema, bluehash, pine and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 That is very nice work. Far better than some of the rubbish on Hackaday recently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tripwire 139 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 It looks like the author also made a tool to use EnergyTrace without needing to install CCS, might be worth a look: https://github.com/carrotIndustries/energytrace-util bluehash, chicken, jazz and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was hoping somebody'd do that eventually... (was thinking of doing it myself but lacked the motivation lol) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubeberg 540 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 There was a post right after that which included launchpads as well - was nice to see something other than a 'duino on HAD lately Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greeeg 460 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 It looks like the author also made a tool to use EnergyTrace without needing to install CCS, might be worth a look: https://github.com/carrotIndustries/energytrace-util Source code is super simple, since the MSP debug stack is doing all the work. Just quickly compiled it on my PC, looks great! Just spits out a continuous stream of values, which you can pipe into a gnuplot etc. Turns your launchpad into a current sensor for any (3.6v only) application. tripwire, zeke, chicken and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
