    It usually comes down to a combination of these choices, not just one. I mostly fall into the "My life is busy right now ...", "I'm involved in other activities on element14 ..." or "Due to my knowledge…

    I started preparing an application for two upcoming RoadTests. I am hoping to make a submission but future time constraints are giving me cause to hold off making a submission.

    I agree. If I were in your place, I'd do exactly the same thing. So, I kind of interpret your statement as one of need. Basically, you have something already and you don't need something similar again. Thanks. This is helpful.

    One other reason I don't apply is I've already road tested something in the same category. It seems unfair to go after another instrument if I can make do with the one I have.

    Doug,

    Great points. FPGAs have a longer learning curve than other things. We've had a few problems with trial software licenses running out before the roadtest is complete. I'm going to start looking at expiration dates of the licenses and posting the date on the roadtest page. But there are other things I wonder if have a longer learning curve. I'm running a 3D motion/orientation sensor roadtest. I believe it uses sensor fusion and includes an accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope. I believe it's been used in the movies and sounded cool. But I am now thinking this is something that would have benefitted from product training before the roadtest. Maybe it's harder to work with than I previously thought. Hard to predict these things sometimes. Thanks for responding.
