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

rscasny

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 think majorly it was because -

    - its based on 8051, which many might consider antique. Well, they are ignoring the fact that silicon labs has made it so much more faster, i can't wait to test it.

    - its low cost, so no one wants a timeline to follow when they can buy it and learn at their own pace. But then the point of roadtests is to help others learn, and learn in the process. Not just learn alone.

    - its documentation and use is not widespread, and it can prove to be challenging. That's something that'll make this roadtest intersting for me. Hence i applied for it.

     

    And I am glad that i did. The space invaders demo that comes with the board just made me nostalgic and happy at the same time!
