RE: element14 Community Grand Prize Winners!

Thanks again to element14 and Molex for this amazing prize!

This thing boggles the mind, and unfortunately it's hard to show you anything that really does it justice in a picture in a comment here.

My wife took this picture of me - it looks like I'm standing in my office, but I was really in a HUGE geodesic dome somewhere on the side of a mountain, with auroras and shooting stars overhead [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-402e3c69-0cf8-4582-ae79-cac9fb191152/3034.contentimage_5F00_2516.png:16:16]

This technology is already really super impressive right now, and given that it shares computing and display technology with cell phones, I won't be surprised if in a few years it will be even more mind boggling!

Cheers,

Guess you both might be busy enjoying with the VR [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-402e3c69-0cf8-4582-ae79-cac9fb191152/4645.contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Hooray! Thanks all, and congratulations to you, David, too! [mention:00dfb01ff12548938b4b7669fc69e778:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]

I'm with David in that I've never actually had a chance to experience VR yet. It's been on the wish-list for quite some time actually.

There was a pretty funny episode of The Guest Book with VR goggles... https://youtu.be/00mvI1DYPjw

I've been jokingly saying I need to take a few months off work to catch up on all my fun projects... I might have to get serious about that soon!

Thanks again!

Thank you very much, I am quite surprised and honored [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-402e3c69-0cf8-4582-ae79-cac9fb191152/6471.contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16] Congratulations to [mention:2f7f3f52ea644a4ba1053d94e948bd06:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]

To be honest, I have never seen VR personally, so I am not sure, what to expect. Videos I found look amazing.

Thanks very much Christopher!

I've always enjoyed monitoring the environment around me, and with the numerous sensors I already have I often struggle with finding enough compute and GPIO resources, not to mention troubleshooting communication issues. The goodies bag will definitely help!

I have several sensors that are included on the proposed sensor board that I currently use through various interfaces, so it would be great to see such a board in production.

Great design. All I need now to go with the sensor is an RV. Maybe this is something Element14 could consider as a Grand Prize sometime?

Thanks for selecting my board design for this week!

It was a wonderful surprise to see that care package / goodie basket on my doorstep [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-781b5233-4d52-4417-8c45-64d945e55c2b/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

I've been wanting to try out the Matrix Creator, and it's great to have a Raspberry Pi come with it to pair it with. Looks like I'll have a few new projects to work on now to keep me busy for the coming months!

I also have never really used an oscilloscope before, so that's also a perfect item to add to my toolkit - I have a little logic chip project right now that's been causing me some confusion so I might try hooking this thing up to see if it will help me make sense of it all.

Also - the t-shirt fits! woohoo!

Thanks!
