Thanks for the heads up on the watch I just put in a order for two.� There is a lot of fun to be had in one package.<br><br>As for the launchpad / msp430 overview I'm free to work on it after this week.� If anyone is interested or has demos they'd like to show let me know and I'm sure we can put together a great quick tutorial.<br>
