Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) has launched eZ430-Chronos, a highly integrated, wireless development system based for the CC430 in a sports watch. 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.
The low-cost Chronos is designed to provide customers with all of the hardware and software needed to begin development of wireless networking applications, regardless of programming expertise. It also features a 96 segment LCD display and provides an integrated pressure sensor and a three-axis accelerometer for motion sensitive control.
The development system is based on TI’s CC430F6137, a 16-bit ultra-low-power MCU optimized for RF applications in the sub-1GHz range. The Chronos also features TI's SimpliciTI and BM Innovations' Blue Robin RF protocols, enabling developers to easily establish wireless links regardless of RF knowledge, right out of the box. The integrated wireless feature 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.
