Questions about eZ430-Chronos

Hi! I'm a newer in TI's product. And I have some questions about eZ430-Chronos and other RF products. Our lab bought a eZ430-Chronos. We have realized data logging and configuration setting using this kit. So I think it can be two-way transmission of data. Our lab want to build a wireless system for monitoring and controlling. Input signals include voltage, temperature, and humidity. And output signal is pulse sequence. The sampling rate of voltage signal is about 600 samples per second. My question is whether can we use the eZ430-Chronos to build our system. Can it meet our requirement? If not, are there any other wireless development tools in TI being helpful for us? Thank you!

    We do not know what those requirements are so it is hard to say, important items such as latency, range, number of bits, country of use / complance issues, sfdr of the ADC, snr of the ADC, battery life, etc are not specified.

    600sps is not a problem provided the number of bits is <=12, and it is acceptable to buffer and then send groups of samples in packets.

    You may want to get a couple of EM430F6137RF900 kits  to support initial development and then port it to the Chronos watch when ready. It is much easier to work with the larger board than the tiny watch and the software will port to the watch when ready.
