Jingxi Zhang, Foster City, California - Tiny
Temperature Recorder without Battery
The tiny temperature recorder is directly built on the eZ430-F2013 USB kit with
only a capacitor, a diode, and a resistor added. The device can measure
temperature with a resolution better than 0.02C. A tiny capacitor replaces the
bulky battery to power the system. A single instantaneous charge allows the
device to record temperature for up to 60 hours. The data is stored in flash
memory and is read back to a PC through the USB port built on the kit. It is
simple and low-cost but effective.

William Hugh Molesworth, San Diego, California - MSP430
RTC Temperature Compensation
This entry provides a solution to the frequently asked question 'How do I make
my clock more accurate' Of course, secondary requirements are that this
accuracy is achieved using no additional power and for zero additional cost.
The generic term is Real Time Clock (RTC). This example is based on the Retro
Watch Development Kit, and can easily be ported.
