Hello all,
Update on the complete challenge
Here are some posts to get you started if you jumped into this challenge, and didn't get the full context:
Smarter Life Challenge Competitors (thanks Joseph Man!)
Overview - week 2 of PSOC Design Challenge
VOTING CLOSES TODAY!
Go to http://www.element14.com/community/polls/1692 for the poll!
"My weekly view"
The contestants are almost there, this is the last day of the challenge! Of course everyone is more than welcome to show off further developments, but today is the official end of the challenge. It's been so great to see everyone developing their stuff, from getting used tot PSOC Creator to bug fixing to showing off what you've made... Really great stuff, and I appreciate all your effort! From my own experience, you need some time to get used to normal life again now 
. I hope you have done this challenge with great pleasure, and seen this as a good way to critically evaluate some hardware.
I also want to thank Cypress & element14,
as they've been very helpful to all the contestants. Gagan and colleagues: thanks for helping out the participants, and for providing the support to 'enable' the cool stuff we've seen in the past few months. It has really helped to get such a wide field of applications and projects. Christian: thanks for setting this up and putting up with my attitude 
Below, you'll of course find the update of the blog posts of last week, but for those that didn't post this week but previously gave a good overview over their project I included their final overview.
THANKS A LOT TO ALL CONTESTANTS!!
