- Op-Amp-a-Palooza is an open ended exploration of op-amps using low cost components and features premium op-amp testing equipment as prizes. There's so much that can be done with OpAmps: Amplifiers and buffers, measurement, active filters, voltage references, current measurement, audio vs RF vs HT, precision circuits low noise circuits making one from discrete components.
You will be judged on the basis of the following criteria:
- Follow the Steps - Did they provide the steps it took to complete the project (text, video, or images) and/or schematics.
- Submit Video Proof - Did they post a video proof of their project?
- Stick to the Theme - How well did the project stick to the theme of the competition?
- Demonstrate Originality - Did they come up with a clever name for their project? Or did they introduce something new or that is not commercially available?
