Has there ever been a product that you wanted to test and review but it has not been featured in another RoadTest here on the community? Now is your chance!
Submit an application to review any product of your choosing under $175 (USD) on the Newark / Farnell / element14 online stores.
The ten best applicants will receive their requested product for FREE and get to keep it in return for writing a review.
How To Apply
Click the button on the right to enroll by putting in your application. Here is an idea of what to include:
- The product you want to review and why you have chosen it
- The details of the test plan or review you plan on carrying out
- A brief description of your background, general experience level, and familiarity with the technology (embedded systems / microcontrollers / programming / prototyping etc.)
A more innovative and/or thorough review of a new or overlooked product is more likely to give you a chance of being selected, as long as the ambition of your review matches up with your experience level and familiarity with the technology.
Example Product Review Possibilities
So, what kind of product could you review?
- A single board computer (eg. Arduino Uno Q)
- An all-in-one kit (eg. development kit, motor control kit, optical, wireless transceiver kit)
- Bench equipment (eg. power supply, oscilloscope, soldering station)
Once you know the product you want to receive and review, what sort of review could you write?
The only limit is your imagination but here are a few examples:
- The out-of-the-box experience of a product - Do an unboxing, power the product up, check any pre-programmed options or features, and follow the user guide.
- Performance test - Measure accuracy and see if the product is faster/slower than specifications
- Cybersecurity evaluation - Test for security holes and vulnerabilities
- Test a product to destruction! - Show how a product holds up in hazardous conditions such as high temperatures or rugged environments.
