2023 Summary of element14 activity - DougW

21 Dec 2023

It is time to get started on my annual element14 activity summary. These summaries have proven to be very useful in allowing me to access all my old content. I haven't stopped to think about what all this activity means but maybe after I finish listing the activities something will occur to me.

The year started by finishing my holiday project14 from the previous year - Star Twister

There was a blog about the stereo prize as well.

Next up it was a design challenge - Two Bee Or Not Two Bee: and a blog about the prizes. and an Oplà

Then it was another Project14 - 215 Instrument MIDI Synthesizer

Next I did a road test of a Multicomp Pro MP750511

And a blog about making arbitrary waveforms:

Then it was on to an experimenting design challenge - Subsurface Webcam

Then there were a couple of blogs using a couple of gifts from element14 - UNO R4 on the Big Screen

And an UNO R4 WiFi

Then on to another experimenting design challenge - SuperCap Magic Meter

Then it was another Project14 - ThingBot & Wednesday Addams Interview

Then it was on to another design challenge - Upcycle the Beast

Which includes blogs about disk salvage and CD ROM players

Then more holiday Project14 blogs - Mini Space Invaders

Then a start on a road test - Digilent Analog Discovery 3

And a little Happy Holiday message on a scope.

I managed to squeeze in one more blog about Mr. Pentium - aka Running Man

Looking back over this list it adds up to a lot of work. I participated in 4 design challenges (a record for me) without winning one. I did win on at least 3 of 4 Project14s and 2 road tests - maybe I should stick to Project14s. It has been lots of fun; and the element14 sponsors, staff and members really make it a great place to hang out.
