What is your favorite road test on element14?

dougw

What is your favorite road test on element14? Either one you did or one someone else did.

Or what road test would you most like to see on this forum?

You can find all the road test blogs here:

(+) RoadTest Reviews - element14 Community

This link shows how many views and likes each review received. It can be a bit misleading if the review blog is a summary of a series of other blogs that each had separate views and likes. 

One of my motives for asking this question is to discover if I missed any great road tests, so be sure to include a link.

  • It is definitely difficult to choose. I looked at just the road tests I've done because the amount of work they took tips my scales in their favor. I've done 24 road tests (about 2 per year), 8 of them were bench instrumentation. These instruments were not only enjoyable road tests, they now form the backbone of my workflow - much more so than the many instruments I have won in competitions. This is obviously because I apply for road tests of instruments I need or know I will use. The most surprising road test I ever did was the B&K BA6010 Battery Analyzer - because it turned out to be able to accurately measure a wide variety of passive components in addition to batteries. However I enjoy creating projects much more than testing instrumentation. So my favorite road test right now is not an instrument, it is the Arduino Giga R1. It just has such a vast ability to tackle cool and creative applications, including complex projects that you wouldn't expect a microcontroller to easily do.

       I was going to nominate your Arduino Giga R1 road test but then I couldn't fully remember if it was a road test because I remember consuming the material in bite size chunks.  I seem to recall a series of blogs dedicated to specific facets of the product... but now that I see it is a road test proper I officially nominate it.  Thumbsup
