STM32F4DISCOVERY Board THROWBACK THURSDAY Giveaway

Earlier this year we took our DreamBoard concept from a fun way to show off what our member's dream development kit would look like to a good ole' fashioned head to head competition! DreamBoardVS  pitted 16 member-created DreamBoards against each other. Members were asked to vote for their favorite each week.

When the competition went down to the final four, we were able to piece together a few of the kits already in existence to meet the functionality of those finalists' Dreamboards.

In this week's THROWBACK THURSDAY Giveaway we will be giving away four STM32F4DISCOVERYSTM32F4DISCOVERY Board in honor of one of the finalists:  shabaz's Stripboard++ .

How Do I Win?

Rather than have you give us an idea of what you plan on building with the board, we want you to show off your "DreamBoard". It's pretty easy and rather fun. Visit the DreamBoard space, create a new board and post the link for the board in the comments section below. We'll announce the and send out the prize on November 30th to accommodate the Thanksgiving holiday.   Upon receiving the kit, post a blog on the element14 Community with the project you completed using what we sent out to you.

See full terms and conditions for more details.

We'll be taking break on the #TBT giveaway next week to accommodate the Holiday season! Check back for more Throwback Thursday Giveaways in 2016! 

Congrats to the below winners!
