New Hardware

I usually don't participate in random internet contests, we all now how annoying they might be and you're lucky if you don't get yourself a new subscription to spam. However I recently tried my luck at a Facebook contest from Texas Instruments Europe, it seemed simple enough and since it's from TI, I knew I could trust it. So imagine my surprise when I found out that I was actually one of the winners!

The prize was an MSP430 BSL Rocket from Olimex, which is basically a programmer for MSP430 microcontrollers with a rocket shaped PCB, a collaboration between TI and Olimex. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to try it yet, but I'm counting on using it soon.

So, thank you TI Europe for this prize, I'll make good use of it!
