Is Anyone Trying To Bring To Market A Project They Did On element14?

rscasny

Our members do a lot of projects and post them on element14. A lot of them are fun projects or labors-of-love. I am curious to know if anyone is taking it a step further and trying to take something he/she made and create a marketable product?

 

I would be even curious to learn if someone is toying around with the idea, but may not be actively trying to market it.

 

Thanks.

  • I have an idea but have not told anyone for fear that I would not receive credit for it. It is a technology that currently exists, applied to a market that this technology is not being utilized in yet. It is an idea that came to me while working with the BeagleBone Black Wireless that I will soon be presenting a review on to the community. There is a specific application that I would like to use the BBB-W for. I have purchased a majority of the components necessary but still need to get a few more to construct a working prototype. Most of the projects I do are of personal interest and usually funded by my own limited income. My idea is big but unfortunately my budget for projects is not so. I actually sold one of my previous Raspberry Pi 3 projects to purchase the components I will be using in my BBB-W project. I am currently seeking funding to purchase the rest of the components. I care little about money or becoming rich, but my budget is holding this project back. It will happen if I have to build it one piece at a time. But if I could find funding on this particular project, it can be a reality sooner. I don't care about a profit. I care about making a contribution to the community. Does anyone have any suggestions for obtaining funding for something of this nature?
