Hey Road Testers! What product(s) would you love to get your hands on?

What products are you excited to get a hold of in the future? Is there anything out there you've been watching and just waiting to be released to get your hands on? Let us know!

I would really enjoy to test some new arduino stuff. I got some projects in mind, like a midi controler or a 3d printer that would be good to have arduino stuff to do it.

I'd be keenly interested in some low power wireless (ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, DASH7, etc) demo kit. TI has some nice stuff as do some of the other vendors. The "smart lightbulb" that Google is coming out with…

Hi Nicole, Asking for ideas is a very good idea, especially since your road tester base has increased dramatically over the last month. As for what I would like to road test, Test equipment, oscilloscopes…

In the radar industry, the bread and butter of our manufacturing revolves around “Cold testing” our products while in the assembly phase. To cold test a radar tube we drive a signal (via a Waveform Generator) and look at the reflected power via a Scalar Network analyzer (HP 8757A’s are very common ). We see the modes of oscillation the tube will support as "dips" in the reflected power (becuase this power is lost on the circuit).. I have seen waveform generators as road tests, but I would be thrilled to road test a generator/analyzer pair…or potentially even a vector network analyzer.

Cheers!

An outfit in the Netherlands, www.bitwizard.com, has some excelent products for use with RaspberryPi and Arduino. Their breadboardless system is great for software types trying to break in to the physical computing world. I've recently purchased their RaspberryPi UI, I think it beats the pants off the PiFace interms of usefulness.
