New year events to kickstart your year!

JoRatcliffe
JoRatcliffe 6 months ago

I hope you are having a great start to the new year. If you are looking to keep busy now the Holidays have calmed down or have a new year's resolution to deepen your understanding of different topics then why not join us as we start the year strong with two webinars coming up next week :)

14th January (2pm Coordinated Universal Time)

Are you interested in learning more about Isolated DC-DC converters? If you are at all curious about transformer selection, optimising for performance, or safety and regulatory standards then this session was created with you in mind. Join Cathal Sheehan, technical marketing manager at Bourns, as he guides you through the whole design process from start to finish. Take part in this webinar to be in the running for a competition with a prize worth up to $215. Check out the full agenda, prize details and how to win by clicking here.

16th January (2pm Coordinated Universal Time)

Discover how cutting-edge MEMS sensors work, what different kinds there are and how they are being integrated into devices like drones and impacting industries, using agriculture as an example. Learn more about the event and register by clicking here.

Plus, don't forget there is also still time to enter our seasonal winter competition Snowflake️Snowman2️ which closes on the 17th and has big prizes that are definitely worth building an electronics project and competing for Trophy

This is going to be an exciting year with lots of activities still to come and I can't wait!

    Fresh from holidays time off , here maybe some ideas to inspire E14 topics for the northern hemisphere:

    How about "Beat the Winter Blues" as a Winter ( February - March ) 2025 competition.  A project that makes people smile, happy, or inspired. 

    How about "Spring into Spring 2025" as a spring 2025 competition.  An outdoorsy project: electronics for gardening, pest protection, environmental aids, outdoor lighting , lawn maintenance & lighting, etc.

    new gadgets and sensors  :-) 

    In fact, I wondered what new sensor stuff maybe on the market for Arduino/Raspberry Pi/etc.. and thought about a posting a sensor blog of existing sensors ( that I have ) and hopefully other members could comment and to the list. Where would a topic like that be best blogged ?

    Spring Clean - make use of some old stuff lying around or revisit unfinished projects

    Spring Forward ( with Fall Back in Autumn ) -  kinetic projects, Rube Goldberg / chain reaction machines 

    Spring Time - timers, clocks

    Simple Harmonic Motion Generators (for those who remember the Cirkit catalogue in the 80's)

    I definitely do think a challenge based around completing unfinished projects or using things already laying around would be really interesting. Reminds me of the TV show Scrapheap Challenge (Junkyard Wars in the US).

    Whether we do this for spring or not, I really want to try this at some point.

    I have the feeling that there could be some very unusual/interesting/frightening stuff in the cupboards/sheds/garages of the community members here.

    This reminds me that there was some discussion on here a while back about some sort of an Internet connected chain reaction machine project. Not sure if you've spotted that yet, or have any thoughts on how it could work.
