Recieved my Tahoe II Board from Microsoft!

January 29th, 2009 Elze Leave a comment Go to comments

For Round two of the Dare To Dream Different Challange I recieved a package from Microsoft. It includes a Device Solutions Tahoe II, two XBee Modules and a USB XBee Development board. 

My first experiences with the Tahoe II board where very positive. USB debugging goes very fast and i’m impressed with the overall speed of the board. The board has less memory then the GHI boards I used to develop on. I don’t know what for implications this has.

I haven’t tried the XBee modules yet as I don’t need them in my application. When that’s finished I’ll try them. Together with the Bluetooth Modules I’ve ordered from SparkFun.

    Hi Sanny,

    Great tip! The module you suggest is realy powerfull.. Only thing that I dislike is that it doesn’t have an onboard antenna
