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…

I also would enjoy to try out some new arduino stuff and Adafruit products are starting to look pretty nifty too.

I would really love to try out lpkfusa protomat s103 desktop PCB prototyping. I think it's great instead of waiting weeks for your boards to come in and just to find out you made one little mess up. This is really a great solution for all those problems and I'd love to roadtest it.

Fidel - you can buy a great many boards on 24 or 48 hour turnaround for the price of one of those machines.

eg - 4 layer 100mm x 100m next day express service from PCB Train £60.

I use pcbtrain for most of my prototypes and find them pretty good and reliable.

There are many other similar suppliers in US and Europe offering similar prices.

I know, but having one on you desktop is just convenient and if you are like me most times you just can't wait 24 or more hours to see your PCB. Maybe an all around CNC would be better for road testing.

Demo boards for either the new Atmel ATXmega-E5 series, or the ATSAMD20 (ARM Cortex-M0+). Both are very interesting architectures and provide a lot of functionality, both have 'Xplained' boards to test them.
The ARM board is especially interesting because it has its own debugger on-board. That's a first-time experience with a low cost Atmel board!

The XRTINSIC sensor evk with the kl25 board from freescale looks like a useful dev tool,
