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…

The Oculus Rift would be incredible to road test.

The Oculus Rift probably has little in the way of applicability to been say an electronics tool.
Having said that I would be interested in some of the cheap cardboard kits which emulate the functionality by holding some Freznel lens in front of a 4-7" tablet!

I Like what you just brought up, using a micro computer and lenses to watch a monitor close up. This would be a great challenge to put forward and make happen. I would like to see what other members would propose.

As for the Oculus Rift, there are lots of development possibilities, but you are right, it isn't for most.

Hi.

Now that Altium (and element 14) have finally released CircuitStudio I would love to see a detailed review on this package.

Professional PCB design tool | CircuitStudio

CircuitStudio: Professional PCB Design Tool, Ready to Pick up and Go

CircuitStudio

Given that the program is being sold and supported by element 14 around the world I would hope that there is a good chance that this will happen in the near future and would love to be one of the lucky few to be able to push a design or two through it to see how it compares to the existing EDA tools that we use at work.

Andrew.
