Greeting Best Community Members in the Galaxy!
As you probably are aware of we will be migrating to a new platform shortly. I'm just going to update you on a few things related to Project14 as we prepare to move to our new home.
Spy Nerd Competition - Deadline Extended to 12/17
A round up is posted on the new site and deadline for project submission has been extended to the 17th of November. When we move over we will need volunteers to judge the Spy Nerd projects. Comment below if you did not participate and would like to volunteer to judge projects.
Here are the projects thus far (will update this as more come in):
- Security System with Motion Detection
- Bad Kitty Counter Spy .....another fabulous WRONGCO product
- Pi Spy Audio Recorder
Holiday Special 21' Update:
The theme for the Holiday Special competition this year is Build a Present. We had planned on launching this sooner but with the migration occurring its been delayed. I hope to have this ready in some form by middle of the week so as soon as the new site launches you can start sharing your project ideas or posting projects. I also have a bunch of arduinos in the office and I'm going to be throwing in some Pis as well for project suggestions that use them. Want to get as many projects in before Christmas in order to make the community look festive so we're launching early. Also this gives us time to send some boards for project ideas that look really cool!
What's Up with Project14:
As jive approaches end of life I can appreciate that things might look like a hot mess now. Attention is being paid on the new site and once you see it, I think you're going to like it.
Here's a sneak peak:
Right now I am tidying up the spaces so I can make some of these past competitions more visible. Also, playing around with features that will be available soon.
Our next regular competition (following the Holiday Special) will be Circuit Prototyping Techniques which is based on a suggestion from Jan Cumps. There is also the Auto Hacks competition which will be overlapping slightly. We haven't gotten any projects but I know that balearicdynamics was going to be posting some of his work from home van project to encourage more participation before it closes. You can see what this project looks like here:
balearicdynamics showed us what this looked like in PYNQ-Z2 Workshop: Session 3: FPGA Design Examples in Practice which he presented in along with Jan Cumps .
Other things we will be looking at is getting ideas for upcoming themes. In the past we did this with poll comments but I will be looking at some features they have on the new platform that look perfect for ideation for upcoming themes. I'm excited about what's ahead for Project14 and I think the new platform will be good for the program.
