[PhillyOnRails] What do you think of these low power microcontroller projects?

There's a link at the top to some of the
projects that people have posted for this
ultra-low power MCU (microcontroller).

Has anybody tried any of these?

Specifically, I was interested in the project
for a battery-powered blood pressure monitor,
because I take ATENOLOL to regulate my hypertension.

P.S. I've downloaded some simple C sample
code from TI, and was able (after an hour
or two of screwing around) to get the MSP40F2013
chip mounted on the detachable target board
(MSP-EZ430D) to work.  I had some errors to fix,
on my part, in configuring KICKSTART, but I built
a flash module that downloaded without any errors
using the USB interface, and did get the program
to run on the target chip (LED flashes).

Could be ripe-ground for "Rubification" once all
works.
