Fantastic - we have another spacebridge launch coming up on Saturday, so not entirely sure I'll have an evening spare this week, but if I do, it's likeliest to be Thursday. Does that work at all? Failing that, next week, anytime.<div>

Anyone else get the eZ430 Chronos dev kit? I finally started playing<br>
with it this evening, and find it neat, but want more nodes to try<br>
building a secure mesh networking stack on (when you only have 1k of<br>
flash*, you can only have at most 1024 bugs to find in your code,<br>
right?). I also have vague ideas for smart-dust-style devices to<br>
build, but find the idea of soldering tiny 0.5mm pitch devices into<br>
quarter-inch-diameter enclosures faintly daunting, and would rather<br>
attempt it in company, preferably with beer. Anyone up for a hack<br>

I've been wearing my ez430 watch since I got it in Feb, but haven't managed to do anything more exciting than read the source code and look at the python base-station code that people have hacked together. I'd love a hack night if you're free this week.<br>
<br>
I wanted to mostly try software changes first. (sleep monitor using the interrupt-on-motion feature of the onboard accelerometer) Later I might try rolling my own watch innards and mounting them in a pocket watch with a better battery and display.<br>
<br>
But just collaborating on setting up the toolchain and doing some minor changes would be great. I've got a windows box set aside at home for that, but I can dual-boot my macbook if we can't get the open source gcc stuff working.<br>
