Monthly Theme Poll

3 First Place Winners Win a $100 Shopping Cart to Your element14 Store!

In the comments below give us your portable electronics kit ideas!

The theme this month comes from shabaz and it's to build your own portable electronics kit.

Some examples he suggests include:

A breadboard and components bundle
A modular system using 3D printed blocks
A storage system for packing components or boards for travel
An Experimenter board with LEDs, buttons and analog or digital electronics
A microcontroller (e.g. Micro:bit) or Pi solution, perhaps combined with a small display and keypad
A kit to build a dedicated project, along with order codes for the parts. This could include a breadboard, so all a user needs to do is order the parts wherever they are, and get assembling
A clever cabling or connection system to allow beginners to connect up boards in multiple way
A mini booklet of beginners circuits

Check out the project example from shabaz :

EE-CARD: A Portable Electronics Project Kit

Anything goes as long as its portable and is an electronics kit. You could even create a portable electronics kit to carry your diy oscilloscope, soldering station, multimeter, or other testing equipment such as Ben Heck’s Lunch Box Dev Kit. mayermakes did his own version when he did Ben Hecks Lunchbox Dev Kit Remixed by MAYER MAKES.

Your Chance to Win

Be Original	Stick to the Theme
You could come up with a clever name that make's your project memorable! This project is your baby! Part of the fun of bringing something new into the world is coming up with a name. Your project could introduce something new or that is not commercially available or affordable!	If you have an idea for a project that doesn't fit the current theme then submit your idea in the comments section of the monthly poll.
List the Steps	Submit Video Proof
Provide the steps you took to complete your project (text, video, or images). This could be a step by step how-to-guide, vlog, schematics, coding, napkin drawings, voice narration, or whatever you think will be useful!	If it doesn't work that's fine, this is more about the journey than the end product. A short video is all that is required but you can shoot as much video as you like. You are encouraged to be creative and have as much fun as possible!

I'd never seen these Tandy/Radio Shack commercials before.. it is really great!
But also sad we likely won't see such commercials on TV nowadays either.
An empty project kit is a good idea too : ) to see what items would be placed in it, if it won the $100 shopping cart : )
