Interested in Joining PF's EE DIY Project Contests?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the idea of hosting DIY project contests focused on electronics engineering (EE) and Arduino projects on the forum. The initiator seeks to gauge user interest in participating in such contests, drawing inspiration from platforms like arduino.cc and hackster.io. Participants would need to verify their projects through videos and circuit diagrams. There is a preference expressed for hardware projects over software solutions, although some users are open to software entries. Suggestions include mirroring successful formats from other forums, such as the "Math Challenge," and potentially starting with basic or intermediate engineering challenges that could evolve over time. The conversation emphasizes the need for community engagement to determine the feasibility of these contests.

EE PF Projects Contests Interest.

  • I would like to participate, but do not know how it would work and would like more info.

  • Nice idea, but not interested.

  • Not interested, do not know how could work, don't encourage anything further with this.

  • I am ready, even today. I am interested.

Hello.
I would be interested in conducting some EE DIY project contests on PF.
Arduino and such. Some examples could be on arduino.cc and hackster.io.
This thread is for me to get the numbers of users interested, so I could decide if to proceed with the idea or not.
Thanks.

If a software solution is accepted then I’d be interested.
 
Verification could be done by video and some diagrams of the circuit or software used. Basically show how you built it and show it working in your video.

Depends on what you mean by software.
I would deeply prefer more hardware options, thanks.

Maybe a better approach on the PF would be to figure out how to mirror the amazing "Math Challenge" threads in the Math forums. Maybe we could issue a Basic or Intermediate Engineering DIY Challenge with a subject and have entries submitted somehow. I think it would only be practical (at first) with paper (PDF) design submissions, but maybe it could go somewhere farther eventually.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
