Arduino Day, the Worldwide Celebration of Arduino's Birthday, is on May 12th, 2018!

Project14 is celebrating its First Birthday with Arduino Projects for Arduino Day! Project14 launched on April 14th, 2017!

...and the release of the new Han Solo movie on May 25th, 2018!

Competition Begins:  April 2nd, 2018

 

Competition Ends: May 14th, 2018

 

Almost, a year to the date that Worldwide Arduino Day was last celebrated, Project14 will be having a Special Event to celebrate it's First Birthday!

 

At this time last year, all of our focus was on launching the new program and unfortunately Arduino Day came and went without any planned events on the community.

 

We promised ourselves things would be different next year.

 

When we decided to do a special event to celebrate the birthday of Project14, we decided the best way to celebrate this humble program was by celebrating someone else's birthday,  the birth of Arduino.

 

This will be a special event that will be on top of the April Monthly competition you voted for in  Project14 | Poll to Decide the April 18' Competition , Simple Music Maker.

 

 

Why are You Celebrating the Birthday of Project14 with Arduino Projects for Arduino Day?

 

The idea of having a special event around the birthday of Project14 was something we began thinking about seriously when we did the Holiday Special Event in December of last year.

 

How would a monthly electronics & design project competition celebrate its birthday?

 

Project14 has chosen to celebrate its birthday with a celebration of Arduino projects in order to show its gratitude and appreciation for the open source hardware and software platform that inspired:

  • More collaboration and diversity of thought
  • A culture of learning from one another
  • Making knowledge available to anyone willing to learn.

 

You're a big reason why a program like this exists.

What’s the Theme for the Special Event?

It’s Open Arduino. It’s a reference to Open Source, the Open Nature of the competition, Opening Presents that contain  Arduinos, and the Open Aproach of Project14 (community members decide competitions).

 

Members can use any Arduino compatible board or shield in their project and do it around whatever theme they want.

 

The Theme Doc will contain a list of suggested Arduino related Themes and ask members to post Arduino related themes.

 

Ideas that community members come up with and post in the comments of the theme doc can be used as ideas for future related Arduino Competitions.

 

When Will Winners Be Announced?

 

On May 25th, the date of the original Star Wars movie in 1977, the new Han Solo movie this year, and its also Geek Pride Day (The Inspiration for the Project14 Geeky Gadgets Theme).

    There are so many uses for this simple but versatile little board. I think everyone wanting to get into the world of MCU's should consider the Arduino. It is a great place to start and you can always use…

    Arduinos can be such helpful little modules, enhancing other systems - how about an arduino accessory category.

    Hi the-dubster , Yes, anything goes as long as its programmed with the Arduino IDE.

    Hi rubisco ,

     

    Yep,  you can use the stm32f103C8t6 programmed using the stm32duino core.

    Does that mean we can use things like the stm32f103C8t6 programmed using the stm32duino core?

    You would make your code available for anyone to use and list steps for replicating your build.

    I believe we do that for Design Challenges (it's in the T&C).

     

    I agree that it would be useful to be able to do that, however I found that I couldn;t attach a zip or pdf in my blogs (or I couldn't find the right icon)

    I had to snapshot the pdf and attach as an image.

     

     

    IMO the term "Pay it Forward" needs explaining and something like  "Code Sharing for Cloning" might be more appropriate.

     

     

     

    Hopefully I've included everything in my post HaloBOT

    It's based on Picaxe, so perhaps I need to do a new board for Arduino......

    Just throwing out a suggestion but it would probably make a better Design Challenge and that's who I left my suggestion with....

     

    What do you guys think of a Pay It Forward with Arduino Theme?

     

    Basically, you would altruistically use Arduino to make the world a better place.

     

    You would make your code available for anyone to use and list steps for replicating your build.

     

    The person that is judged to have left the world a better than when they found it wins...

    Hi mcb1 ,

     

    Started with the ideas that came from Top Members suggestions and opening this up to the rest of the community to add ideas as we go along.

     

    This is an open ended competition where you get to choose the theme but want to start with a list of ideas and hopefully get people to comment with more as we go along.

     

    Will launch on April 2nd so would also like to be inclusive to the members who aren't top members so their ideas can be listed as well.

    Arduinos are excellent for making things do what you want them to.

     

    My first Arduino project, several years ago, wasn't working very well. When I went to find help on the internet, element 14 was there to help me. After the bugs were kicked out of my project I stayed for the fun of continuing to interact with a lot of great people with similar interests.

     

    Thank You Arduino and element 14!

    Thank You tariq.ahmad  for all these great programs and competitions.

     

    John

    Another idea would be Arduino "Easy access". Have the Arduino help with accessing things.. eg: Unlock doors, open the fridge
