    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…

    OK - so I google ADK gear and the first hit is Gear - Adirondack Mountain Club,

     

    I guess that isn't what you meant so you might like to explain a little better - being concise is good but this level of cryptic is based saved for crossword puzzles image

    The clue so it seems is to actually google for 'google adk gear' image 

     

    My research tells me it is the Android  Accessory Development Kit (http://developer.android.com/tools/adk/index.html), this link doesn't refer to any hardware though.  I did find links to Arduino and ADK (nicegear.co.nz/arduino-boards/arduino-adk/  and hackaday.com/2011/.../using-googles-adk-on-standard-arduino-hardware/

     

    Still doesn't seem to say much about hardware though.


    This is ridiculous, neither the advanced or standard editor will let me change font or undo the cross out text image hmmm perhaps it is IE10 that is the problem


    Colin

     

    OK, IE10 seems to play up, wanting to leave a page when changing fonts or styles, and the only way to get everything back to normal was to actually edit the HTML.

     

    Message was edited by: Colin Barnard Trying to get the 'edit' function to actually work.

    I'd really love to see a cool and portable Logic Analyzer. I'd probably even exchange a nut for a Salaea Logic 16.

    I'd like to test a pair of Pi with cameras. Set them up for object detection.

    As an electronics newbie I would love to see some basic gear that would help someone start a good electronics lab.

    Digital Multi Meters (low, med and high quality) - what's the tradeoff for price?

    Oscilloscopes - guides on the different capabilities (cost/performance/quality), USB vs PC vs benchtop

    Soldering stuff (irons, solder, desoldering, flux, etc.)

    Power supplies

    Safety stuff (ESD, fume extraction, etc).

    Education - books, websites, videos (EEVblog is great image )

    Misc aids: Magnifiers, tweezers, helping hands,

     

     

    Some of the many Arduino shields and sensors for building "fun" stuff.

    Soldering stations suitable for SMD work would be good to review.

    Fume extraction might be tricky to review, how would you measure flow rates, filter quality?
