4 projects in 4 weeks

dougw

Winter hockey and softball seasons are over and my 2 summer hockey teams and softball don't start until May so I have a bit more time to do projects this month. I'm not doing any element14 contests, so lined up 4 personal projects to keep me busy. I will try to blog about them at least once per week. They all involve microcontrollers and 3D printing:

  • One is an audio peripheral
  • One is a Bluetooth instrument
  • One deals with SD cards
  • One is a camera accessory

I am not sure if they will all be complete this month since they involve ordering PCBs and I also need to blog about a couple of element14 prizes I won and I also have to take a business trip tomorrow, but we will see how it goes.

Should I publish these projects in the Member's blog area or in the Projects area?

Which one would you like to see first?

  • Hi Doug,

    Good luck with the projects!

    Personally I'm of the opinion that a blog (in your member area, or Open Source Hardware area or whatever you feel is relevant for the project at hand) is better than creating a project in the Project area, simply because it's easy to forget that tab is there, not many people will click through all tabs to reach Projects.

    How do you get to Projects in the Project Area - it has this offer:

    But nothing that looks like a good place for Doug's projects.

    So, I think he is definitely best putting them in the Members Area, Personal Blogs section.

    In Jive, there was a really nice interface, whereby you could click 'New' and then you were prompted 'Where would you like to post your blog?' and then you could select an appropriate group.

    Verint isn't nice. You have to know to navigate to the group first, and then click 'new' to post into that blog for that group.

    The navigation menu you've highlighted, navigates you towards content that the community team curate. Verint assumes a lot of knowledge of the user, or assumes that a full, almost internal employee, onboarding process is executed for people to know where and how to post to it.

    Most people do not have time for that.
