re: Why Wasn't There More Interest: Silicon Labs Bluetooth Design Kit

This one puzzles me. I only received 19 applications for this roadtest: Silicon Labs Bluetooth Design Kit

 

I'm not sure why I received a low level of interest.

 

Any Idea why?

    I speak for myself, but other folks may chime in as they wish. For me it is an ROI problem here.

    1. Does it spark MY interest. In this case it did for the use case described by shabaz. But does it meet other criteria
    2. For the product costs, does it fit? I try not to work with a RT that is too expensive or too low cost. Why would I invest too much time when I can just buy and use as I wish. On the other hand if expensive can I justify enough time to such an expensive equipment
    3. Do I have a unique idea or proposition? This product may have interesting use cases, but I could not see/do them.
    4. Time available? Not enough since I am in a RT that will be heavy time usage. I Could not commit even with a help from Randy! It would not be fair to the vendo

     

    So even when #1 looks good, the other items have trumped my hand and I must sit this one out.

    Thanks Randy for asking!
