What Was the Most Interesting RoadTest Review of 2022?

rscasny
rscasny over 2 years ago

I often ask members at the end of the year about their favorite roadtest reviews. But "favorite" can mean different things to different people. In this discussion, I'm framing it as most interesting. In other words, something that made you stop, read, and you learned something totally new. I could have framed my discussion question as What RoadTest Review Did You Learn the Most from?

I have a few that come to the top of my list. But, I wanted to see what members thought. 

I've listed below the roadtests for which reviews should be posted.  If you have the time to participate in this discussion, please paste in your comment the particular review link that "wow'ed" you and tell everybody why.

Thanks.

    The review with which I have learned the most this year has been the review of the Xsens MTi-680-DK by saadtiwana_int , it was a topic that interested me and his blogs have been very complete and interesting…

    Hummm....  not sure if what made this my favourite is any different than what made it most interesting.

    Digilent Sound and Vibration Measurement Hat for Raspberry Pi - Industrial Sensing & Rohde & Schwarz NGL201 Bench Power Supply are two Roadtest that I recall. The sound RoadTest had two E14  stratosphere RoadTesters lend their insight to the RoadTest. I came away thinking "I didn't know you could do that." I knew little about the Operation modes of Power Supplies until a read the power supply review.

    My most favourite RoadTest of 2022 (oh no, it was 2021) is /products/roadtest/rv/roadtest_reviews/1632/microchip_polarfire_1 . It is not listed here because it was originally scheduled to 2021 but after multiple postponing it realized in 2022. I like ti because I have direct opportunity to play with this board. I learnt a lot and it was happy time for me.

    In recent poll I selected Monolithic Power Systems MA732 MagAlpha Angle Sensor Kit with Servo Motor because MPS employee directly interacted in discussion with us and as part of discussion related to this RoadTest I learnt about this product which was completely new to me.

    I'll admit that I don't read all of the Roadtest Reviews, just those of products that I might use or want to test.

    I thought the Rohde Schwarz NGL201 Bench Power Supply review was very well done and provided me with information that I found useful.

    I confess the knowledge level of the individuals in this technology space overwhelms my level of understanding. I am envious, discovering I know very little.

    I added Keysight Smart Bench Essentials (test equipment) because it was launched late in the year, 2021. Most everything else was done in 2022.

    As far as other road tests there were lots of interesting things going on. I got a real kick out of Jan Cumps  use of a woofer as a shaker table. (MCC 172 Road Test)

    Hmmm... yes, it took us awhile to get those words. I'll add it to 2022.

    My vote is for Nordic nRF9160 Development Kit. one of mine.  If your interested my review is here:

    Nordic nRF9160 DK -- A single board development kit for evaluation and development on the nRF9160 for LTE-M

    There were 3 other reviews for this kit. This was a very impressive kit to experiment with and I was able to connect to the cloud with minimal issues. I was able to get all the examples Working!. Nice development kit Nordic.
