Relio R5220 from Sealevel Systems

R5220 is a easy to maintain and upgrade computer that fits well for industrial control systems. It may also help in small machine automation and lab computing. If you are building a dedicated automation system or machine, this can be used as the main CPU for the HMI (human machine interface) and can supervise/manage the other standalone embedded control units in that process.

Relio R5220 from Sealevel Systems

The Relio R5220 is an embedded computer powered by a 2.2GHz Intel Core2 Duo CPU that is designed to run fanless up to 40C. The compact chassis has expansion slots for one PCI Express X16 and one full-height PCI card. The system includes 2GB of DDR2 667MHz RAM and is ideal for harsh, industrial environments.

Features Include

• Solid-state operation with no fans or other moving parts
• Watchdog Timer with 255 levels (1-255 Seconds)
• Supports CPU thermal/voltage monitoring and management
• Supports Wake on Ring and Wake on Alarm functions
• Two expansion slots support one PCIe X16 and one PCI card

Make a Custom eZ430 Chronos Watch

When i saw this i remember my High School friend Abhi (Abhinandan), he had built an advanced DIY Wrist Watch with LED Display and Radio, there might have been a temperature mode too.

This Gizmo got many students wildly interested in Electronics. He also developed a Learning Kit 'Chip Chap' for 555. An Innovative Education Kit Developer Dynam was making it..

Here is one such Temperature, Wireless, USB Data Logger Watch Development Tool. But for an entirely New Generation. - Ananth

eZ430-Chronos wireless watch - TI

The eZ430-Chronos is a highly integrated, wearable wireless development system based for the CC430 in a sports watch. It may be used as a reference platform for watch systems, a personal display for personal area networks, or as a wireless sensor node for remote data collection.

IAR Systems has collaborated with TI to develop some unique application examples for the TI Chronos Watch using IAR visualSTATE and IAR Embedded Workbench. The example applications are using the low power wireless communication hardware built into the Chronos watch to communicate with a heart rate monitor.
