March 25th is Arduino Day 2023! What Should We Do for Our Annual Arduino Project Competition?

tariq.ahmad
tariq.ahmad over 2 years ago

Arduino Day is March 25th, 2023.

Every year we do a contest around Arduino Day.    Examples of Contests that we have done in the past include Open Arduino, IoT in the Cloud, NanoRama, Attack of the Drones, and Better World with Arduino. 

We're planning a webinar with Arduino shortly before Arduino Day and the folks from Arduino recently contacted us to let us know of an event they will be participating in Chicago where half our team is located.   To prepare for the festivities its time to start thinking about what type of Arduino Day project contest we want to launch.  This is something we do every year and the project contests are usually inspired by feedback from our community members.    Once we get some ideas together we may even create a poll to see what you want to do.

    How about an escape room prop? A phone, touchtone or dial, that must have a specific number dialed to hear a recorded message. Or a series of button presses, switches, and things plugged in in the correct…

    The Arduino "thing" is "ease of implementing a controller solution". Arduino day should celebrate the best thing about Arduinos - ease of implementation. When did you whip up a neat solution that took…

    Theme idea: "intentional Overkill"
    projects that are on purpose complicated solutions to simple tasks.

    Sort of like a Rube Goldberg contest?

    yes - with all sorts of ESP and ARM modules working as simple black-box interfaces for (as slow as possible) 8-bit Arduino - just like those ESP8266 modules that instead of being main processors are working as AT command set controlled WiFi connectors...

    I like this idea... turning on a bulb with an Arduino Portenta connected to a WiFi network using sensors to detect if there enough light in the room and detect if there's a person, everything using machine learning to predict when the sunrise is going to happen, and the probability of a person present in the room.

    Against. Too easy to do. Most projects are overkill, already.

    But that encourages more participation. Too complex or too restrictive doesn’t allow people to be creative in their own ways.

    If someone builds something too simplistic, then it won’t win the competition - no harm done.

    Overkill as an art form takes effort.  Rube Goldberg has not left our vocabulary because we still find it fascinating.  "Who would think of something like that?" Laughing
