(each would be plus what ever they pull from DLL's and the OS)

Ti LaunchPad MSP-EXP430G2 - MSP 430 version ($4.30):

MSP-430G2553 Microcontroller:

16 KB flash
512 B RAM

MSP-430G2452 Microcontroller:

8 KB flash
256 B RAM

I suspect you would get about 5% of it into a MSP430.

I was looking into porting much of LH into an Arduino or TI Launch Pad
(msp430) And then a display would be web based.  But then I decided to
go back to grad school and there went any free time.

But I think that is that way to go.  The TB is best kept in some
light-out closet and who wants to stand of a step stool to read an LCD
when a web interface could put a better display on your smart phone or
computer

I did just buy a TI Launchpad.  For $4.30 shipping included I could
not resist but I have in mind a MUCH smaller project
