    I would use it to monitor the temperature in my case at different points and to vary fan speed and LED color based on that. I would also implement an active venting system so that when the case temperature got high enough vents would open at the top of the case.

    I would use it to monitor the oil level in my tank and send it to a control panel readout or my computer so I don't have to go in the basement to check the oil level

    Hey guys, I was supposed to hear back from T.I. mid month last month about when they would ship the prizes but I have not heard anything and my emails are going unanswered. I will keep trying to contact them and as soon as I hear something I will pic the winners.

    lol, these are the $4.30 boards? I already ordered two of 'em and a handful of MSP430 parts ... you shoulda warned us there'd be freebies!
    My mind says Technic, but my body says Duplo.
