The Challenge

 

The element14 Community is pleased to introduce the Sustain the World Design Challenge with Infineon.

 

Infineon is challenging the element14 community to design the most creative solution utilizing the XMC4700 Relax Lite Kit, the Platform2GO XMC4200 MCU, the TL94112 Motor Controller, the DPS368 Pressure sensor, the TLV493D A1B6 MS2GO Magnetic Sensor, and a Profet+2 12 Smart Switch Shield, all from Infineon.

 

Infineon wants the element14 community to design solutions to make your life easier, safer, and greener. You can use the sensors provided on the board, or add your own sensors and actuators to be controlled by the Arduino Compatibility and Arduino Cloud.

 

Challengers are invited to use this kit to Sustain the World.

 

If applicants are successful, they can take advantage of the XMC4700 Relax Lite Kit, the Arduino Compatible XMC4200 MCU, 3D Motion, Pressure Sensor Motor control, and Smart Switch Challenge kit.

 

20 successful applicants will receive the Challenge Kit free of charge to build and blog their project with. For the chance to win one of the prizes below, you must blog your build process and the final outcome of your Challenge Kit Projects within the Sustain The World Challenge space.

 

What Can I Build?

You can build anything you want, as long as it uses the XMC4700 Relax Lite Kit and at least two other of the Infineon peripherals included in the kit.

 

Example applications could include:

  • Micro Plastics Monitoring Buoy
  • Remote fleet of ships which monitor pollution levels
  • Roadside Littering Monitor
  • Distributed CO2 Monitoring station
  • Self-compacting Trash Cans
  • Recycling Composition Tester
  • Sea Level and Levy Monitor
  • Automatic Tree Planter
  • Trash Collection Bot

Be Rewarded on the Community

For entering and taking part in the Design Challenge competition, you'll be rewarded the following badges:

 

imageApply to join the Design Challenge and receive a badge and points for applying! Make sure you've thought your application through, made it original and your own work. If you are building upon someone else's work, make sure you cite your sources. Direct copies of work will not be accepted.
imagePost your first blog! We expect updates on how your Design Challenge project is going, so don't hold back, tell us your thoughts, difficulties, and how you're progressing. Remember you're assessed based upon your updates, and don't be afraid - other challengers and members are there to help you with any problems you have, and it helps the staff to keep an eye on you!
image10 blogs! Wow, has it really been that long? We hope you'll keep us updated about your project at least once a week, for 10 weeks. We'll not be impressed if you only put a one-liner in there, that's what messages are for. Blogs are to make sure you're giving us all of the juicy detail, trials and tribulations of what's going on, and it keeps everyone honest!
imageEven if you're not a challenger in the Design Challenge, we appreciate every member who joins in and gives a helping hand to applicants and members. If your messages are found to be helpful, we want to acknowledge that and reward you!

    This is very confusing. Apparently I am a Challenger selected as my kit is on the way. I am really unsure about how to make my entry work, but I will give it a try. There's got to be a change of dates…

    Hey Fook Peng, yes, Mr. Brew was referring to the enable pin. But if you put that pin on HIGH that should be fine as well. As far as I can see the SPI settings you chose should be fine. Do you have any…

    Hey Fook Peng, in the example the standard SPI-Pins of the Arduino are used, you can see the configuration here: https://github.com/Infineon/XMC-for-Arduino/wiki/XMC4700-Relax-Kit They are configured inside…

    Thats right, the P2Go should be used with DAVE and the XMC4700 Relax Kit can be used with both, Dave and/or Arduino IDE, as well as Platform.IO (recommended for bigger projects, instead of Arduino IDE)

    Hello Bharde,

     

    the challenge is already on going since over 1.5 months. We started the challenge shortly after the Kits were sent out and received by all challengers.

    Now I am wondering, why you didn't tell it earlier, because people are posting since weeks in the platform here and also E14 sent out several emails already.

     

    The challenge will end by next week. I will ask E14 what happened with your shipment, but unfortunately, I do not think you will receive it early enough and also the time is already nearly over.

    I try that you will get your kits, but for the challenge I think it is too late now.

     

    I am sorry!

    BR
