    How about a future theme of "Pocket Game Unit" - or have we had that already? In the 80's there were some great handheld LCD games like space invaders, then a multitude of small LCD games, card games etc…

    It's a nice mixture of (new (?)) topics... I have not decided yet on which to vote for.... I will meditate on it before giving a vote.

    I also think its way too specific and would require more than 2 nodes so t hat it could be called "mesh".

    This comes up a lot, but for a 1-2 month competition, it could be a lot of commitment.

    There was an RF competition last month, but from two dozen entries, there were none related to mesh.

    Mesh Network could be a great topic as with the different types of topologies being out there where else with appropriate routing protocols and correct application. It would completely change the face of the IoT industry and many others and take these to greater heights.

    It is really disheartening. :-(

    They are probably doing it for a business reason, because there are a lot of makers that do use particle devices just for the convenient mesh networks!

    shabaz and vimarsh_  I also like the idea of a mesh project.  AND THEN... LAST NIGHT... Particle.io announced that it was killing the Xenon.

    https://blog.particle.io/2020/01/28/mesh-deprecation/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWTJGaVpqVXlNemt3TVdObSIsInQiOiJQUkd5RklZeFdEeUJ4SU…

    Kind of disheartening. image

    Actually, you are probably correct. Even I had commented on original page to make a mesh network but didn't have any time at all. because of exams and also it had to be done from scratch.

    But, if some hardware like Particle Xeons and Boron are provided (Like a Giveaway! image) then it will be easy to get mesh network working and it will provide time to work on some creative projects helpful to the community. Baceause mesh networks have a great potential. Winner of IBM code for challenge 2018 was one such great example: http://bit.ly/IBM-cfc-18

    I think they're much harder for a Project14, which only provides a relatively short amount of time to realize the project.

    if you have to make multiple instances of hardware and deal with comms and routing between them all, that's a lot more work, I'm sure some could manage it, but maybe it is outside the time limit available for most people to work on a short project?

    Maybe it could be a more general theme, for instance the RF theme this month could have incorporated mesh networks entries, but there were not any.

    I think mesh networks will be a really great topic because it is a key for Industry 4.0 revolution. With new protocols and ways to use mesh network, this can provide an insight. In huge farms, factories, or even our houses - mesh networks can be implemented anywhere. It will be a fun one for sure image

    How about a future theme of "Pocket Game Unit" - or have we had that already? In the 80's there were some great handheld LCD games like space invaders, then a multitude of small LCD games, card games etc. Indeed we've already seen a few projects along these lines on Element 14 I recall. The standard 'Simon' game with four sounds and colours to follow? A dice based game? Anything battery powered and playable - even if it would get a few odd looks on the train.
