Object Sensing Clock  by 

 

"Great build! I have the exact same clock might will have to try this out. Mince still works but like yours the buttons are now starting to play up and the light to view the clock at night is extremely dim now. This project will give life back to my little old Micronta Quartz!" -

"Thanks for the excellent post. It was fun to see such a sophisticated and well designed build. To look at the exterior of the Radio Shack Clock one would never suspect what a cool project it holds." -

 

Self-adjusting clock with e-display by

 

"Very nice concept.  I really like the self-adjusting concept of this clock.  The running around and adjusting clocks on day light savings time changes is very frustrating.  Did I forget a clock?  Did I get all the clocks set correctly?  We even bought a clock that automatically adjusts for the time change, but even it failed to switch once, leaving us a bit off schedule. Nice project!" - 

Movers and Shakers

 

"Congratulations everyone! This was a fun series of projects to read about.  Always impressive seeing motion, sensing and electronics combined." -

Solar Bubble Blaster  by

 

"This project should be the Grand Prize winner. Including the kids and teaching our future developers is so important. It followed the theme of this challenge being solar power with summer fun included.  .... The video is fun and done like a commercial. The kids add that special touch to the final demo. ....I really like this project, it was fun, included kids and is a good summer fun project. Including the kids in the project makes it priceless, they will remember this for many years. The information provided makes this a project most can make. ...Very positive feedback from everyone. Having the kids involved was highly welcomed." - Community Member Judge

"Maybe ...not the most complex (from) a technology point of view but I think that the "Solar bubble blaster" deserves the grand prize. First, because the project has been fully completed and second because it is one of these projects that include a really difficult target. And the "customer satisfaction" of the user of this hacked toy has no price" - Community Member Judge

"This was a fun little project, with plenty of engineering packed in a small package, and just enough cute kids enjoying the process" - Community Member Judge

 

Simple Solar Bot by

 

""This project should be first place. It followed the theme and was completed. Being the first solar project by snidhi made it even better. ...Very detailed steps on how this project was created. From schematics, video, images and text. It could be re-made by many with the information included. ...Many uploaded videos detailing the continued progress throughout the project. The final video submission proves that it works and has a lot of potential. ...The project was original and very well planned. ...This being S Nidhi's first time working with solar power made it more impressive. There were some issues that were overcome with a couple of changes. ...Feedback was positive and encouraging." -  Community Member Judge

"This was a great lesson in overcoming deficiencies in initial plans and persevering to complete your goals" -  Community Member Judge

And all the other three winners fully deserve their place.  I want to special mention to John ( ) for his genial idea. Happy that you were finally able to provide also a short demo for our pleasure."   - 

"Some interesting and involved projects there - well done everyone. Reviewing them all together here, I'm struck by how much work went into them. And all that clever software too.  I think  deserves the 'craziest' prize for his fun and entertaining animatronic - the video certainly made me smile. Perhaps we should have a 'toy hack' Project14 at some stage and all have a go." - 

"Thank you for sharing the magic!!" -

"They all had their own merits but were all very different. It made it hard to judge." - 

 

"Congratulations everyone - lots of interesting applications - I hope this topic resurfaces sometime." -

"No Lies" IR Thermometer by

 

"A genuinely useful project that was really well documented. It's great that he explained his need for it, the reasons behind the design choices, etc. I must admit though, my wife (who's a doctor) and I find that the off-the-shelf IR thermometers work just fine for our kids!" - Community Member Judge

"This was a great project to following through its development.  The results were great." - Community Member Judge

"This is just a fantastic project, bespoke PCBs, plenty of photographs, cool  videos and a wealth of well written documentation that kept me busy for  hours (both when posted initially and for selecting my winners)" - Community Member Judge

".Well documented project with some nice research about the working of thermometers." - Community Member Judge

"t covers all the points that I think makes it a winner. It would something I would be keen to do as well.  1. The idea is original idea and usable in everyday life.  2. Clear description of the problem statement with facts. 3. overcoming challenges such as doing your own pcb and design, analysis. 4. Completion of the project is well executed. There was prototyping and then the final results 5. Many experiments were done to arrive to end results. The blog is written excellently with results. Working video demo of the end product." -  Community Member Judge

 

Working Prototype of a Kelvin (4-Wire) Milliohm Meter  by

 

"Also a device which can be very handy while doing tests and measurements. Recycling old stuff from the house; great!!; made his own pcb design and blog well written." - Community Member Judge

"A great project. Well designed, well built and well demonstrated.  This is a great tool to have available on any work bench." - Community Member Judge

"Frank progressed this well presented project with its own PCB and enough material in the professional write up to allow others to understand the design or to be able to build there own. The project consisted on many posts and informative videos. This project is something I may like to copy myself at a later date. A well deserved joint first place."  - Community Member Judge

 

Tiny DVM by

 

"DubbieDubbie's project was one of the few that score extra points in my opinion for the fun aspect. Who couldn't like that ultra small display and the 3D printed bespoke casing. The videos provided were really interesting and made this the top prize winner for me." - Community Member Judge

"The grand prize is deserved to the TinyDVM#4 : Graphical Display for its completeness and size. This project is very interesting as it is easy to replicate by other users but in the meantime includes a number of complex aspects, a nice challenge for a one-month project. Notable the use of the small display with the real time graphical representation of the variations. The TinyDVM catch me." - Community Member Judge

 

µBOSS .... Test Instrumentation ... micro:bit  by 

 

"This is a well documented and easy to reproduce project. There's nothing really complicated but it's the sort of thing that really inspires a beginner to think 'I could make one of those." - Community Member Judge

"The project is useful and compact. Also this can be easily tried again to make one for us. I really liked the diffuser used for making the LEDs

in micro:bit more readable. Overall Doug has once again produced another complete project that looks like a product, which is his style and what

makes him stand out."  - Community Member Judge

 

tinyMonster - Analog Precision opto-isolator  by

 

"This is a simple project with more use cases. The case for the project makes it more professional and the integration of micro:bit makes it an useful

DIY project." - Community Member Judge

A Simple DC Electronic load for the experimenter's Shop.  by 

 

"This was a great example of a well described and well engineered project.  John has a super clean hand when it comes to building project.  His hand-built projects look so clean and well built than one would wonder why the rest of us need to have PCB built.  This is a project that I will need to build." - Community Member Judge

 

Project PITS  by

 

"A unique idea where he has tried to simplify a complex instrumentation device to simple one. Well executed and working video presented. Lot of thinking involved in bringing something original to the project competition. Also did his own pcb design." - Community Member Judge

DIY project." - Community Member Judge

 

Simple resistance measurement with the micro bit and voltage divider by

 

It's good to see a nicely documented basic design (resistance measurement) that obviously inspires a follow-on project (wireless voltage measurement) that does a little more and uses more of the micro:bit's features. - Community Member Judge

 

A Transistor Load by

 

"It was really nice to follow your process as you made changes, and seeing it all documented. Also you may have established a record on lowest-cost for a DC load.. since each part (apart from the final MOSFET) is about $0.01, you have a sub-$2 project I think.. : ) Also, great idea with the shield for future automation! : )" -

"As usual your explorations are fascinating to follow. I believe that one can't truly understand electronics without a good feel for the fundamental components. Thanks to your interest and willingness to share we are all benefiting with a better understanding of transistors and other circuit basics."  - 

 

SCPI on a Linux Board - Part 4b: TCP/IP SCPI and Instrument Service 100% Working by

 

"Jan produced a series of blogs over the months before this project detailing the progress and including a lot of material to help others understand his project and to be able to replicate it themselves. The whole article was really interesting and informative about the SCPI command/control language. A well deserved joint first place." - Community Member Judge
