Hi Stefan, that looks very nice but do you know of something comparable for analog signals? I mean google will find plenty of selection and I know about http://www.bitscope.com/ but if someone has first hand experience with an analog/digital scope I'd like to hear about it. Sande

Re: ez430 You keep the USB dongle connected to the MCU board and use it as one, I think there are maybe 4 I/O pins you can use on the small MCU board, you should check what kind. Cool thing is that you get another wireless MCU board so your sensor can be wireless :-D ------------
