Hello World Done

Took the out-of-box access point device (the one that's in the USB stick) and converted it into an end-device, did the opposite with the end device (one that's plugged into the battery board) and re-ran the demo sensor visualizer app.

This used section 10.2 of the SLAU227D app note (Feb 2009 revision).

I would reword some of it:

10.2 point # 2:

existing :

Select Open Existing Workspace, and browse for the demo application workspace (*.eww) file. The project is available on the CD or at http://www.ti.com/lit/zip/slac139.

Problem :

Windows needs to know that you want to look at extensions for Known File Types (once you've installed IAR, .eww is a known type - and so you will not see .eww, you will only see the other files that are .ewd .ewp (when you select All Files).

Preferred wording :

Select "Open Existing Workspace", and browse for the demo application file "eZ430-RF2500 Sensor Monitor Demo vX.YZ"

Point #4 :

Existing :

Select Project -> Debug in IAR to download...

Preferred :

Select Project -> Debug using the Project menu in IAR to download...

Point #6 :

Exsting :

Select Debug --> Stop Debugging exits the debug mode while leaving the target board executing code.

Preferred :

Select Debug --> Stop Debugging to exit the debug mode while allowing the target board to continue executing the program.
