Quite understandable, there was an awful lot to do in a short time and it's usual to have to leave some things out for next time. > And the MSP430 Forth LED Wrist Watch is in the pipeline to finish off > MSP430 as wearable. Wow! Which 430 part are you going to use? I want one of those. I have a TI Chronos watch but it uses a white-on-black LCD display that's almost unreadable, and the watch itself is huge and clunky. So I haven't done anything with it. > YES, the DIL 1114 board JUST slides in, and with 2 AAA changed to AAAA > it can be as well battery operated. I see, hmm, it was really nice the way the '2553 board fit in with the two AAA cells, which are much easier to find than AAAA's. Though you probably know that you can get AAAA's by taking apart 9V rectangular alkaline batteries. > DIP first for anybody to replicate the project. It has to be easily > solderable. Sure, this makes sense. I'm ok with soldering some SMT packages but they don't go well on breadboards.
