&lt;p&gt;Welcome to the element14 Community! A place where we have been connecting Engineers, Makers, Developers and more together with each other and Supplier and Manufacturer Industry contacts to help further their creativity, products, expert opinions and assistance, and application solutions. And most of all: It&amp;#39;s completely free!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.element14.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-53/Join_2D00_The_2D00_Community.mp4"&gt;community.element14.com/.../Join_2D00_The_2D00_Community.mp4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the main parts of the element14 Community is you, the members. The ability to share and join in with the discussion and conversation about topics, technologies, products and events, or simply what&amp;#39;s going on at the moment with your fellow Engineers, Developers and Makers!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We do not charge to become a member of the element14 Community. There is no subscription fee, there is no setup charge, there is no &amp;#39;freemium&amp;#39; model. If you enter a &lt;a href="/products/roadtest" data-icid="become-member-doc" data-e14adj="t"&gt;RoadTest competition&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="/challenges-projects/design-challenges" data-icid="become-member-doc" data-e14adj="t"&gt;Design Challenge&lt;/a&gt; or otherwise, we do not charge you to receive the equipment, parts or gear.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you register, you&amp;#39;ll be able to download files from the element14 Community, sign up to attend for events, and enter our competitions, such as Design Challenges, write reviews for hardware with RoadTests, and most importantly, join in the discussions with other Community members.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perhaps you want to spread your knowledge and have a platform to blog on? You can do that here on the element14 Community - and we&amp;#39;ll likely share what you create with world industry leaders, manufacturers and advertise your hard work on social media, giving you the credit!&amp;nbsp;We have had over 880,000 registered members on the element14 Community, so you have quite the captive audience, and that&amp;#39;s not counting our social media channels.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;Welcome to the element14 Community!&amp;nbsp;A place where we have been connecting Engineers, Makers, Developers and more together with each other and Supplier and Manufacturer Industry contacts to help further their creativity, products, expert opinions and assistance, and application solutions. And most of all: It&amp;#39;s&amp;nbsp;completely free!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="color:#007fac;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:20px;margin:0;"&gt;Join Now to&amp;nbsp;Take&amp;nbsp;Part in Discussions and Find Advice and Help!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the main parts of the element14 Community is you, the members. The ability to share and join in with the discussion and conversation about topics, technologies, products and events, or simply what&amp;#39;s going on at the moment with your fellow Engineers, Developers and Makers!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We do not charge to become a member of the element14 Community. There is no subscription fee, there is no setup charge, there is no &amp;#39;freemium&amp;#39; model. If you enter a RoadTest competition, Design Challenge or otherwise, we do not charge you to receive the equipment, parts or gear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#007fac;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:20px;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#007fac;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:20px;margin:0;"&gt;Why Register to Become a Member?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you register, you&amp;#39;ll be able to download files from the element14 Community, sign up to attend for events, and enter our competitions, such as Design Challenges,&amp;nbsp;write reviews for hardware with RoadTests, and most importantly, join in the discussions with other Community members.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Perhaps you want to spread your knowledge and have a platform to blog on? You can do that here on the element14 Community - and we&amp;#39;ll likely share what you create with world industry leaders, manufacturers and advertise your hard work on social media, giving you the credit!&amp;nbsp;We have had over 800,000 registered members on the element14 Community, so you have quite the captive audience, and that&amp;#39;s not counting our social media channels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the main parts of the element14 Community is you, the members. The ability to share and join in with the discussion and conversation about topics, technologies, products and events, or simply what&amp;#39;s going on at the moment with your fellow Engineers, Developers and Makers!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We do not charge to become a member of the element14 Community. There is no subscription fee, there is no setup charge, there is no &amp;#39;freemium&amp;#39; model. If you enter a RoadTest competition, Design Challenge or otherwise, we do not charge you to receive the equipment, parts or gear.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the main parts of the element14 Community is you, the members. The ability to share and join in with the discussion and conversation about topics, technologies, products and events, or simply what&amp;#39;s going on at the moment with your fellow Engineers, Developers and Makers!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We do not charge to become a member of the element14 Community. There is no subscription fee, there is no setup charge, there is no &amp;#39;freemium&amp;#39; model. If you enter a RoadTest competition, Design Challenge or otherwise, we do not charge you to receive the equipment, parts or gear.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;Welcome to the element14 Community!&amp;nbsp;A place where we have been connecting Engineers, Makers, Developers and more together with each other and Supplier and Manufacturer Industry contacts to help further their creativity, products, expert opinions and assistance, and application solutions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;And most of all: It&amp;#39;s&amp;nbsp;completely free!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the main parts of the element14 Community is you, the members.

&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;Welcome to the element14 Community!&amp;nbsp;A place where we have been connecting Engineers, Makers, Developers and more together with each other and Supplier and Manufacturer Industry contacts to help further their creativity, products, expert opinions and assistance, and application solutions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;And most of all: It&amp;#39;s&amp;nbsp;completely free!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;img alt="image" class="align-right" style="float:right;max-height:275px;max-width:275px;"  src="/e14/assets/main/2022/AboutUSglobe.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the main parts of the element14 Community is you, the members. The ability to share and join in with the discussion and conversation about topics, technologies, products and events, or simply what&amp;#39;s going on at the moment with your fellow Engineers, Developers and Makers!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We do not charge to become a member of the element14 Community. There is no subscription fee, there is no setup charge, there is no &amp;#39;freemium&amp;#39; model. If you enter a RoadTest competition, Design Challenge or otherwise, we do not charge you to receive the equipment, parts or gear.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;"&gt;Perhaps you want to spread your knowledge and have a platform to blog on?
