  • I saw no one from 15 participants took the proposed project Bluetooth Enabled Smart Shoe.

    I want to join the game and be in 16th participants.

    There was mentioned that: Note: we may support some proposals which are not selected for the competition by providing additional kit; everyone can be a winner!


    So I want to do that "Bluetooth Enabled Smart Shoe" project.

    Please let me know if that is interest for the contest and I would be very happy to share that implementation )


    Kind Regards,

    I can imagine the persons wearing these shoes receiving the message "you have gained three pounds this month!" and "could you please buy some odor eaters?"

     

    Could you imagine trying to get through the security scanners? "That's got to be a bomb!"

    And the Stewardess, "could you please turn off your shoes? They're interfering with the instruments."

     

    A great idea, but the backlash could be serious. After the shoe bomber? I got grief for a standard sized tube of tooth paste! $4 unopened tube in the trash...

    It would be my luck to step on a nail the first day. Murphy seems to live in my back pocket.

     

    On another note, the Garage door proximity sensor could be linked to the driver's smart phones and automatically open on approach and close on departure.

    Just don't lose your phone or you'll have to push the button.

     

    I have a couple of projects with their PSOCs as well. Lighting control mostly.

    I love electronics, so many ways to do so many fascinating things.

    Heep up the fine work!
