Poll: Why Haven't You Applied to the Wurth Sensor FeatherWing RoadTest?

10 Jan 2022

I have been running the Wurth Sensor Feather Wing Roadtest for several weeks now. I've received 4 applicants. I've spoken to the sponsor about it. We wanted to get a better idea why members haven't applied. Thanks.

I came across this roadtest just few days ago via a Twitter post from Wurth electronics. I'll consider applying for it in this week. I think the poor visibility of the road test page is why I missed…

Nevertheless, the kit looks great, I hope new people will apply and submit nice reviews.

I totally agree - this is exactly the kind of board and kit I would've thought would get lots of attention! Adafruit also tends to have excellent tutorials to go with everything they sell, which makes it great for beginners too.

I'm curious now, so I've added some PlatformIO intro videos to my YouTube list to watch over breakfast :D

I like sensors, but I already own a couple of this type of sensors so the roadtest is not particularly interesting to me. I would rather apply to something I find more interesting
