Ambrogio Galbusera
Vladimir Komendantskiy
Parth Pandya

Thanks again!

Hi Clem,

I know I can subscribe for a roadtest. I already did that for the spectrum analyzer and I was devastated that I did not get through the selection
The idea was described with quite some detail but yeah, it still was not good enough . .. I wish the contestants a lot of fun with that device. Still I will continue with my project, nice to blog about.

Like your blog gsgill112, quite detailed, how i should be. Nice of Cypress to give you a kit to pimp up your blog.

You might have a look at my blog too, Embedded projects | DIY Projects, I have a collection there for all my experiences. Still a lot of project which I have done and I am trying to describe them all.
