Ultimate Nerd...
Gawd, I haven't been on here forever... I almost forget what caching is!
Totally un-geocaching related, but I thought a few of you might like (or laugh at) my latest gadget:

Yes, I am the world's ultimate nerd, and now have the gadget to prove it!

Yep, much nerdier than my old Casio DB-102!
Did you get one of those MSP430 watches at a TI MSP430 Day a few years ago, Dave?
They weren't as sophisticated, of course (mainly lacking the buttons) but were still pretty cool. I've got one going into a midnight-only cache sometime Real Soon Now...
So, what's it based on? An MSP430 or a PIC?

It's a PIC 24FJ64. The actual schematic is the background pic.Papa Bear_Left wrote:Yep, much nerdier than my old Casio DB-102!

Didn't go to the MSP430 days, haven't heard about that watch. Got a pic?

Here's a crappy phonecam shot of one:EcoTeam wrote: Didn't go to the MSP430 days, haven't heard about that watch. Got a pic?

At the MSP430 Days, I usually ran one of these off three lemons with copper (20c coins) and zinc (galvanised iron) electrodes, just to show that it was really low power. One's been running off a 2032 battery for almost 5 years now.

Hey, what's the LCD used in that one? A custom thing? or something off-the-shelf?Papa Bear_Left wrote:At the MSP430 Days, I usually ran one of these off three lemons with copper (20c coins) and zinc (galvanised iron) electrodes, just to show that it was really low power.

That one looks to be 8 characters plus some extra stuff?
Would love to know more details about this!
