Finding my favourite content was really tough, as others have said, there are some great posters and lots of inspirational ideas, so thank you all! Something that caught my eye early on though was this - https://www.element14.com/community/people/dhal/blog/2018/01/12/tractor-simulator-interface-with-farming-simulator-17

I really liked the bringing together ether real life proper hardware, in the shape of the tractor, those Pi and Arduinos and some interfacing electronics to make something fun and also quite inspiring to get other people 8terestrd, that’s my choice!

There is so much great content on element14, that I don't want to paste my entire bookmarks here.

One example that stands out is [mention:193ac2434c814a24b46635a2210baec1:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] 's series of blog posts for the Safe and Sound Design Challenge: Safe and Sound - Invisible Hazardous Environmental Factors Monitoring System - blog 1 of 23 .

Very inspiring to see great engineering.

I liked the project Home Automation Mojo You Must Know Part 3: Environmental Awareness by Sean Miller's Blog. It is a very great project , I am very inspired from this project , there are many other projects like Home Automation Projects - Consolidation by [mention:4d09137f1e9b436c9f3672040f55771c:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] are few great projects.

I missed a lot of really good posts.

My favorite area is the Essentials. Enjoy the quiz to ensure information was retained

One of my favorite Element14 presents would be.

Oh yeah, what a challenge for me, digging through the E-14 jungle.

For better understanding I must translate to German and then back to English, hopefully all of you can understand my "D-English" jargon.[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-e2746f5b-7190-439c-9210-b0c360ddd6bd/1452.contentimage_5F00_3.png:16:16]
E-14 is a fantastic electronics forum universe, the nights are always too short to read everything.
E-14 has one of the best qualities that I have visited in a forum like this.
Congratulations!

So, my favorites are among many others

[mention:b0bc65b9ecdc4307bd967592f00e340a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] for many fantastic posts in many forums, like Raspberry Pi , Arduino , and more..

I think he is a very fine E-14 friend, helpful everywhere.

[mention:55e535b498a841ed8f2949266bc56dc3:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] , a fine gentleman. He works hard everywhere here in E-14. Thank you very much for many helpful tips in E-14.

[mention:7d5ee4caf55f4ccaa8b711eb508ecedd:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] for her fantastic knowledge in Autodesk Eagle Autodesk EAGLE

One of all, my top favorite I'd like to say is Gough with his many fantastic ideas, like this: [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-e2746f5b-7190-439c-9210-b0c360ddd6bd/contentimage_5F00_930.png:16:16]

At that time in the analogue times I played with the scope with all connections X, Y, Z drew Lissajous figures (yes, sometimes I did with these figures also component measurements), watched videos, or played otherwise "usual" with this great thing.

At that time (80's, 90's) my business was in repairing of radios and TVs.

That's it!

E-14 is a distributor of thousands ideas, tips, advices, and yes: connects continents, and much more.

Best Regards

I have to agree with all of the comments above that there is some fantastic content and it is very hard to pick one! I agree that all of the members and projects mentioned above are really good.

After having a dig around, I I found a Road Test review that is very good and especially appeals to me as it is a product that I really want to try out where I work.

Well, I have dug through the Archive. #365 strikes a chord in me. While its a good job of the Mystic Seer from the Twilight Zone. I don't know what was his problem with the coin acceptor. All he would have needed was the slot and a coin drop then a microswitch fins I think he overthought it. Ezy Pezy.

BTW at the end, he said it was the scariest thing on TV at the time. Nah, try "The Outer Limits" on for size. One of the first shows was "The Sixth Finger" with David Macullum (Man From UNCLE) it ended with these prophetic lines: An experiment too soon, too swift. And yet may we not still hope to discover a method by which within one generation, the whole human race could be rendered intelligent, beyond hatred, or revenge, or the desire for power? Is that not, after all, the ultimate goal of evolution?

It kinda hard for me to chose my favorite content as there is a lot of quality content I like in E14, but as a person who not long ago jumped into the boat of learning electronics and making stuff, I've found that the discussions like Cool Tools To Giveaway for a Blog Review and Electronics Newbie Starter Kit: What should be in it? are between my favorites as they provide a perfect opportunity to read stories from others and to learn from their past experiences.

I agree with the other members: there is lots of excellent content on the site, and picking a few favourite one is not easy.

I always find [mention:acaf6a9338de4eef8f6717d5561ed01d:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] and [mention:4f57fc9d538949ad9eb336ddb9469bb8:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] blog series very interesting, and I particularly like their writing style.

LED Firework Suite - the details is definitely one of my favourite post, showing Rod's great firework display creation.

There is lots of great content on here covering an ever increasing breadth of different technologies.

A recent particular favourite of mine has been the Arduino Engineering Kit review by Gary Yohe. I have also enjoyed following Frank's Milliohm Meter build and the Keithley DM6500 road tests and blogs by Jan Crumps.

Kind regards

There have been some Awesome folks with some Awesome contributions to this community, like [mention:193ac2434c814a24b46635a2210baec1:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] , [mention:b0bc65b9ecdc4307bd967592f00e340a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05], [mention:b2133293ca8847a49f3e49ff4d9bd9bf:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05], [mention:ef601b47037147bfb9b0b4a3ab63026a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05], and so many more I can keep on going.

There are tons of great Articles/ Blog posts and Road test Reviews here. Its like I go near a Black Hole once I click "Log In ". Few articles I loved would be

I think (see caveat below) my favourite video so far has to be [mention:2136c4649d3b47f78653b7e97ac61f69:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] and his Unreal. Resistance is Futile

I loved the music and the mis-match of items, at the same time I was confused whilst also impressed...if that makes sense.

[I said 'i think' because there is constantly so much good content on Element14 Community it is almost impossible to select the best ones]

I'm particularly drawn to the posts/projects by [mention:193ac2434c814a24b46635a2210baec1:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] [mention:b0bc65b9ecdc4307bd967592f00e340a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] [mention:f80b53cee57c44bc9d7c577d07d7c791:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] & [mention:2136c4649d3b47f78653b7e97ac61f69:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]

I also enjoy what [mention:bf80114d17bb4d558d56d8e7ec71583b:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] has done with The Learning Circuit , and also what goes on under STEM Academy .

Keep up the good work everyone !
