We are one week away from the event - all parts have been donated ( except for the TicTac boxes ) so the 1024 scouts can start soldering soon and will own their "beating Heart". A 16 processor cluster has been tested - so high hopes to get the 1024 multiprocessor cluster up and running - 1024 MicroBoxes with batteries connected and controlled centrally to light up as 32 x 32 bit LED Array - no it is not a giant torch, we only have about 10mA per LED. 
A 16 bit cluseter has been tested as proof of concept.
See as well other post about Cloning an MSP430 for programming.

The TicTac boxes sound like the hardest part--you can't even buy empty
ones as far as I know.

Might be worth contacting BBC Click, if you haven't already.
This would be *right* up their street.

Hi Mark,

as all parts are in now ( ALL donated except for the TicTac Boxes, bought 800 just now) I could send the email and data to bbc click! Thanks for the reminder.

... and Paul and I are of to the biggest (Forth)  event, 
building 1024 Microboxes running MSP430LITE 
and flashing away during the week 
and hopefully the big Network on the last day 2 x 2m about and all controlled centrally. 

Not a small event:

and

not really small, and we as part of the IET are one of the activities there.

And we had a great time:
https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/11752546_829415317176752_9034608098612206729_n.jpg?oh=bc3bd61ce26c6db089821806a7c56c41&oe=564255BA
5 days of mostly beginners soldering MicroBoxes together, which then were the "Beating Hearts" in a TicTac Box. For more and the final display panel video see:

And for more technical info see

and

About 460 MicroBoxes built and running MPE MSP430LITE - ready to connect to a terminal and start programming Forth. Let's see what happens.
