Seeking Your Interest in Roadtesting Products Used Off the Bench

rscasny

For years, we have primarily roadtested products for the PCB engineer (dev/eval kits), bench test equipment and soldering equipment -- all products typically used on a bench. On a rare occasion, we have roadtested hand tools.

In 2023, we have mostly roadtested dev/eval kits for electronic design engineers who are seeking to evaluate components.

But there are lot of products that engineers, electronic techs, field/lab engineers use "off" the bench. Would you be interested in roadtesting products used "off" the bench? If so, take a look at the Anything But The Bench poll below. I've listed a variety of products and some examples of what this might include. Vote for your primary preference. If you have other preferences, kindly leave a comment below.

Thanks

    I’d love to see more IoT / Smart Home devices, like smart switches, sensors, etc. Especially with the new Matter devices starting to come out. That also includes the hub, something like HomeAssistant.

    Somewhat related to that: UPSs (power reliability and backup). I’ve been hoping to find smaller lithium battery type units, but oddly they all seem to still be big bulky things. Ideally it’d be great to have something in a thick-power-bar kind of style. So yes, if something like that were to be presented I’d be lining up!

    I’m not sure what was meant by the heating/cooling option above, but heaters / air conditioner / air filtration are always good things.

    One thing I love about the RoadTests is that they often present new items I didn’t know existed, so even if I don’t get selected or if I don’t have time to apply, it’s still really interesting.
