An Even Smaller MSP430FR2433 Dev Board

Last week, I put together a design for a lightweight dev-board using the MSP4302433, known as "ChipStick".  ChipStick is a 20 pin DIL module that can plug into the socket on a G2 Launchpad.

 

In the week whilst waiting for the prototype boards to arrive, I have prototyped the design using a SMT adaptor - allowing it to be built on a breadboard.  Today I have refined the original concept, to produce a second design which, being small I have called Nanode (very small node).

Nanode is effectively the same circuit as ChipStick, but trimmed to make a smaller form factor. The main difference is that it is pinned out to a 1.27mm pitch 2 x 10 pin connector - rather than the 2.54mm pitch DIL socket. I have also dispensed with the detachable programmer section.  "Where we're going Marty, we don't need programmers"

 

I have featured it on my  recent blogpost,

Once I have working examples, as usual I will make the design CAD files available.
