    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…

    If they don't then look at the Array 3720A, much cheaper, (Google it to find a source near you).

     

    I have one and it works fine.

     

    (Or you can make your own (if time is free))

    That looks a good product, Gerrit. I suspect software defined radio would get quite a bit of interest.

     

    I visited a completely different "P.L.U.T.O" the other week.

    i'd like to see more FPGA boards as well as more micro controller boards with unique built in sensors/hardware

     

    i have yet to work with FPGA's but i think its the next logical progression for people using micros' either that or some PsoC devices

    Well to start off seems my shopping cart magically grew when looking for ideas.  I have a ton of stuff I would like but would like to purpose a idea.

     

     

    Well 2 of them to be honest.

     

    First I would like to have vendors revisit previous roadtests and possibly open them up again or offer a discounted price to road testers accounts to be able to get their hands on previous road tests to build more reviews under those items cause to be honest when 5 kits or items are available but only 3 do a review on it then it's not really building the confidence for me to shell out the cash on expensive items.  But I'm also cheap so take that how you will. Hahaha

     

    So here is my new idea.

     

    Let's do a monthly and yearly subscription and create a loot crate style road test on top of those selected and or e14 to offer a loot crate style subscription for makers and hobbyists or you pick your crate.  Maker crate....hobbyists crate...engineering crate.   And the a crate with all 3 in it. Basically I'd love random stuff every month to try new boards tools and more.

     

    This would be ideal for project14 as well.

     

    But I'd like to see more of everything I know a lot I don't have the skills or training to make some of them worth while but would still love to get my hands on them. Lol

    Had another idea you should have something on the store so when we are looking around there is road test or email input for possible future road test on the product so basically if one becomes available for that product then emails are sent out to those that signed up to apply for that road test as that will do two things it will show you the amount of people interested in certain products and how many people would be interested in the road test on it.

     

    I was just looking through some evaluation boards and thought well wouldn't that be nice if I got email notification if the product was available for a road test in the future. would have to add it to all stores but would be more ideal in my opinion.  Just saying since I am in Canada lol
