Wireless Development Tool Texas Instruments EZ430-CHRONOS-433
The eZ430-Chronos is a highly integrated, wearable wireless development system based on the CC430.
Detailed Description
It may be used as a reference platform for watch systems, a personal display for personal area networks, or as a wireless sensor node for remote data collection.
Based on the CC430F6137 sub-1-GHz RF SoC, the eZ430-Chronos is a complete development system featuring a 96-segment LCD display, an integrated pressure sensor, and a three-axis accelerometer for motion sensitive control. The integrated wireless interface allows the Chronos to act as a central hub for nearby wireless sensors such as pedometers and heart rate monitors. The eZ430-Chronos offers temperature and battery voltage measurement and is complete with a USB-based CC1111 wireless interface to a PC.
The eZ430-Chronos watch may be disassembled to be reprogrammed with custom applications and includes an eZ430 USB programming interface.
