Are there any products you own - that you'd like to write a RoadTest Review for?

cstanton

Predominantly we setup RoadTests based upon discussions we have in the element14 Community team, or when we're approached by suppliers or manufacturers that would like their hardware 'tested'.

It occurs to me though, that many of our members may already have hardware, equipment or kit that they could or would like to write a RoadTest for, maybe we could even supplement these with accessories to help the RoadTest along.

We would need some way of deciding which product to setup the page for to RoadTest, but we've had a number of times now where people have stepped forward and said they'd like to RoadTest an item that they already have. It may have to be something that Farnell stocks, fundamentally.

Let me know your thoughts.

    One that springs to mind would perhaps be a RoadTest of an add-on for a piece of existing test equipment such as a feature unlock licence or an expansion module.

    Nice intiative, adding some Multicomp Pro products along with the Kit, gives motivationGrin for the Roadtest.

    Is there a microscope lense that I can attach to ESP32 s3 sense camera module. If something like that is avaailable than it would be great

    I think this is deviating from the focus of this thread, if you have this kind of question please ask it in the Ask an Expert Forum

    Do you mean for RoadTests in general?

    I have a bunch of things.

    I just need to find some time and do the tests.

    Interesting proposition, but I use a lot of maker focused products that Farnell/Newark doesn't carry in general.  I've recently been using MCU development boards with integrated displays and sensors from companies like Seeed Studio, Waveshare, M5Stack, and DFRobot.  Also, lower cost AI boards from those same companies.  I think those products would be of interest to the community, but more appropriate for blogs if I have the time.  RoadTests do take a fair amount of effort.  I generally apply for development boards or tools that I haven't tried before.  

    I think the possibilities for me would be using SBCs that I have with some accessories provided.  E.G.  RPi5 with different shields or Compute Module 5 with different carriers.  I am also going to get an Arduino Uno Q soon to roadtest.  It would be nice to try that with a CSI adapter board later when it becomes available.  I also considered using the Uno Q with the ADI Voyager 4 which was offered earlier to Top Members, but that would have required doing the roadtests sequentially.

    Yes, I think T1S is worth exploring. I see that NXP have entered the market too - they have just launched a new T1S transceiver:

    There's a couple of devices/modules I have that I think I could RoadTest, but I'm not sure how that would work as a Roadtest.  I could always just write a post about those devices anyway, right? Maybe that could be a different kind of thing in its own separate section? (Not a Roadtest but a "user submitted review"?)
