TI 433MHz RF transmitting watch

Post by ashton »

I just bought one to do a little bit of hacking, but didn't think far enough ahead to actually come up with a project before I sent my money to digikey. Any ideas?

BTW, it's $38 right now if you want one.

I do not know what this is. Do you have a link? (I tried finding it on Digikey, but failed.)

I figured since this was related to RF, it would be appropriate for this board. So far I'm just messing with the sensors and have yet to program the thing. The altimeter seems to be about 400 meters higher than posted landmarks around Morgantown and Grafton. I'm sure I can correct that in software.

To your point about use of this forum... any engineer that doesn't hack, probably sucks at being an engineer. No need to avoid DIY electronics projects here... unless someone objects.

I'll have to post some of my other stuff then. I'm all over the arduino lately, but moving into TI microcontrollers seems the next step.
