The attached link I received from an Adafruit mailing list https://blog.adafruit.com/2025/02/06/eye-on-npi-tmc5272-dual-axis-stepper-motor-controller-and-driver-ic-eyeonnpi-digikey-digikey-adi_news-adafruit/?utm_source=Adafruit+Products+Newsletter&utm_campaign=29fe40f5f2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2025_02_10_07_34&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-29fe40f5f2-114450521 It took some memory mining to determine why the knowledge look familiar.I finally realized, it was here in the E14 Community I first saw the kit. I was almost positive the eval-kit was covered on a RoadTest before this challenge but I found no links on our site to support that assertion. I'm getting a memory recall that the community has looked at this device in a smaller scale or just maybe there is something a miss with my magnetic-core memory.https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/start-a-movement-challenge/f/forum/55485/winners-announcement-start-a-movement-design-challenge/226512Sat, 25 Jan 2025 16:01:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:3923fb3b-12d0-49cf-aa5e-2fa9e69e7ef7beacon_daveYou'll be building a South-pointing chariot next... /challenges-projects/project14/rubegoldbergdevice/b/blog/posts/the-quantenkompassinator?CommentId=a42776d5-c75b-4585-b6ee-b90f69bc8a24https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/start-a-movement-challenge/f/forum/55485/winners-announcement-start-a-movement-design-challenge/226511Sat, 25 Jan 2025 15:49:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:914ae627-b49b-4bc3-8959-8ed0d9f5c7cdmanojroy123Congrats everyone.

All impressive projects. rsc I build something similar, mounting an Arrow antenna on top of a hardhat. It used a compass sensor and the setpoint was fixed to the location of a local repeater. The bad thing was the DC gearmotor was directly mounted on the hardhat , using the hardhat as a resonant speaker :-) I couldnt hear a thing besides the motor running :-) Since I was always moving, so did the antenna. A fun project tho.https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/start-a-movement-challenge/f/forum/55485/winners-announcement-start-a-movement-design-challenge/226464Thu, 23 Jan 2025 11:58:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:35ae6012-cb0f-46e2-828b-1f5daf1dd046balajivan1995Homepage Banner looks good!https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/start-a-movement-challenge/f/forum/55485/winners-announcement-start-a-movement-design-challenge/226419Tue, 21 Jan 2025 18:59:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:79f25b7e-a484-43af-9047-7b5161715f7dDABWell done everyone.https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/start-a-movement-challenge/f/forum/55485/winners-announcement-start-a-movement-design-challenge/226408Tue, 21 Jan 2025 16:23:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:cf2ce2e7-a1f7-4293-9d85-dc1b18edcddfChristopher678Congratulations to allhttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/start-a-movement-challenge/f/forum/55485/winners-announcement-start-a-movement-design-challenge/226393Tue, 21 Jan 2025 06:51:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:e8b164e8-6c69-4c76-9256-cb3e35191e9camgalbucongratulations taifur and dougw ! well done!https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/start-a-movement-challenge/f/forum/55485/winners-announcement-start-a-movement-design-challenge/226392Tue, 21 Jan 2025 03:34:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:d58a923c-fbf8-46aa-9781-32aea563e828taifurThank you and Congratulations dougw .

Now, after months of planning, creating and making, it is time to announce our winners and recipients of the official Finisher prize. But first, a short reminder of the challenge, the kit and the prizes we are awarding. The Start A Movement Design Challenge was all about creating a project that incorporates automated movement or kineticism of some kind using the official kit with Challengers receiving an Analog Devices TMC5272-EVAL-KIT, a QSH4218 NEMA 17 stepper motor and PSU. The Kit The Sponsored Kit TMC5272-EVAL-KIT 2x 2-phase stepper motor up to 0.8 A (RMS) coil current (1.12 A (PEAK)), Supply Voltage 2.1 to 20 V DC, SPI and Single Wire UART, Encoder Interface with alt. functions, 1 to 256 microsteps Buy Now TRINAMIC / ANALOG DEVICES QSH4218-35-10-027 Stepper Motor, Single Shaft, Hybrid, 42 mm, Bipolar, 1.8 °, 27 N-cm, 1 A Buy Now MULTICOMP PRO MP001982 AC/DC Power Supply Level VI, ITE, 1 Output, 12 W, 12 VDC, 1 A Buy Now The Prizes Prizes are subject to change but will be of similar price and style. Prize Prize Category Grand Prize Winner Approximate Value $1,047 USD* KELKART 27.5 Inch Electric Bike, Pedal Assist City E Bike with 48V 10.4AH Battery Runner Up Approximate Value $1,047 USD* Fafrees Electric Bike, 20" Folding Electric Bikes for Adults, 36V 16Ah/576Wh Removable Battery Ebike 90KM Mileage Pedal Assist Finisher Prize** To be a finisher you must complete 5 forum posts and a project article post and show us testing the resilience of their project. Approximate Value $30 USD* MultiComp Pro Multimeter Set *Or local equivalent **Grand Prize and Runner Up winners will also earn the finisher prize. Winners Now the moment you have all been waiting for. We had several projects of an extremely high caliber all competing for the top spots, making it very difficult to pick the winner of the grand prize. The final decision was extremely close, and here it is... Grand Prize Winner taifur’s Accessible Sewing Machine taifur , your build was extremely well executed, well documented. What you have created is highly practical and genuinely helpful for someone with specific needs. Having used sewing machines myself, I know how sensitive the foot pedal can be so you have done a great job of enabling someone to control it precisely using the flex sensor. Really great job! Runner Up dougw’s Demanding Stepper Motor Applications (Connector Tester and Thread Tapping Machine) dougw , your project was also incredibly well documented and both aspects of the build, the connector tester and the thread tapping machine itself, were really impressive. The use of a second stepper motor and the way you have synchronized them so they work together is amazing and really gets to the core of what this Design Challenge was about. Your demonstration video really highlighted the elegance and precision of what you have made. Next up, please join us in congratulating everyone who was judged as qualifying for the official Finishers prize. Our Official Finishers Gough Lui - Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) by Stepper-Control of a Variac This was a superbly done project, executed fantastically amidst challenges. It is a great use of the Variac which you already had with a nicely made ‘hat’ for the stepper motor on top. The thermal imagery and videos demonstrate all the work you have done really well. fyaocn - RangeDetect Rover A really nicely put together project with lots of images, a flowchart, and short animated clips which brought it to life. The end product was a great-looking rover which I can almost imagine roaming the surface of Mars. amgalbu - Octoscope Mounting a wireless camera on a ring around a 3D printer was a really interesting premise for a project right from the start and it was fantastic seeing this come to life. I am already picturing this creating lots of great footage of 3D printing in action. rsc - Satellite Tracking Ham Radio Antenna Rotator This project was a very cool continuation of work on other antenna rotor control systems and similar projects. Plus, your forum posts were really rich in content and no doubt helped other Challengers. Well done again to all of our prize-winners, I know you will all congratulate them on a job well done. Plus, a big thank you to all of our Challengers and our judges!voltage regulatorflex sensoradiADI-e14thread tappingvariacQSH4218 NEMA 17stepper motortmc5272-eval-kitanalog devicessatellite tracking3d printhttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/start-a-movement-challenge/f/forum/55477/the-wrap-up-start-a-movement-design-challenge/226335Sun, 19 Jan 2025 17:46:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:dac5fbdd-3198-4b20-9be8-fea5172023bfmaxpowerrVery cool projects, I took note of some ideas.
