#TexasInstruments just released a #microcontroller so small you could lose it in your pocket. The #MSPM0C1104 is only 1.38 mm², smaller than a grain of rice, but still acts as a tiny computer. It has a 32-bit processor running at 24 MHz, with 1KB of memory and 16KB of storage. It can even sense things like temperature or movement. Power use is minimal, running on just 87μA per MHz and dropping to 5μA in standby. This makes it ideal for tiny devices that need to last a long time on small batteries. It is also built to handle extreme conditions, working in temperatures from –40°C to 125°C. https://www.ti.com/product/MSPM0C1104

So, Projekt SR-56 vorläufig abgeschlossen. Alles funktioniert. Höchstens nochmal alles aufmachen für eine Grundreinigung innen. Und mal sehen, wie man die sichtbaren Blessuren kaschieren könnte. Vielleicht die Tasten retro-brighten? Der Batteriefach-Deckel ist 3D-gedruckt, weil‘s mit dem Original alles zu eng war. Die 1150 mAh des LiPo Akkus sind fast doppelt so viel Energie, wie die originalen NiCd Akkus! #TexasInstruments #Taschenrechner #Calculator #LiPo #restauration #sr56 #3dprinting

Finished my work at the #TexasInstruments #TI994A and at the cutting software to produce a video of it. Sorry, only in German. No idea if google is able to translate it to English automatically.
