[Noisebridge-discuss] eZ430 Chronos

[Mikolaj Habryn]

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.

PS: I haven't quite nerved up to ordering extra cc430s and accelerometers
from digikey, but... I will if you do ;) Although running up a breakout
board through batchpcb is probably a more sensible place to start.
