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…

Let us know what you have to offer. Provide good technical data that is easy to access. If you want to spark interest, start a blog here and advertise it's existence, especially with the top members, We like to play. Finally, start a contest foster to development.

Regards,

Would love to get my hands on an AirPi kit, but it would be too expensive to order from Norway . It is way too difficult and expensive to get ahold of electronic parts and kits her.

I'm pretty much interested in spectrum analysers.
There was a road tests now with the Agilent N9322C Spectrum Analyzer & TI CC11XLDK-868, but maybe other brands are also interested.
Rigol has some affordable options (Spectrum Analyzers | Rigol - Beyond Measure).

I also am very curious about the capabilities of the RF-Explorer (http://micro.arocholl.com/),especially the 3G combo.
Should be a big opportunity for this company to showcase his device to the element14 community.

It's probably about time to introduce SMD stuff and techniques.

As much as we'd like to, we can't escape it, and we may as well learn how to deal with it.
While the actual tools to work with it would be good, some of the other 'aids' would be good to test.

For the Microcontroller work there's been some modules out for wifi such as the TI Wifi Module that we saw earlier in the year.

I've also recently seen the ESP8266 which is a real budget module making it ideal for makers and hobbists but also a possiblity for IOT devices.

Nicole, So far the road testing has been spot on for me. If any improvement I can see would to be a few software tools for MCU's. Thanks for asking, Clem
