There's Still Time to Submit Your Recycle & Retrofit Project!

 

Submit your project from now until anytime on Dec 21st to have your project featured here!

 

  • Old radios and game consoles first come to mind but can involve taking any unused appliance and upcycling it using electronics of your choice!

 

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?

    Hi phoenixcomm , deadline is set at December 14th. I hope that is enough time. I know there's been a lot going on in the community and the deadline might have been buried. If I hear from enough people…

    Hi jkutzsch ,

     

    That came together nicely!   I have included this in the roundup.   Also,  we've extended the deadline by popular request to about a week.   Feel free to use the extra time if needed.   Hopefully,  everyone is good with that.

    tariq.ahmad hopefully you can still use my submission.  I had a bit of a time getting video working so I could submit a video piece.  But I think it all came together nicely!

    tariq.ahmad if it could be pushed back to the 21st, that would be invaluable.

     

    Sending 5V to the 3.3V rail has... delayed my progress for a few days, including finding replacement parts.

     

    (A screen would really be useful and might just have mine win something!)

    Sounds great!

     

    I was supposed to get the book, but seeing as I won't be able to finish my project in time, would you send it (and the pi) to someone else instead?

     

    I'll gladly buy the book when it's out and published image
