Yes!  What you've done is way cool.  I got a TI Launchpad recently and
haven't had time to set it up yet, but it would be awesome to program it
in Ada.  Can the compiler make code for something that small?  The
bigger of the two cpu's (it comes with two) has 16k of program flash and
512 bytes of ram, and the smaller has 2k/128b.
