abecedarian 330 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I'll offer up (mostly) the same thing I did on stellarisiti.com: 1) I will contribute $10 US to the prize, be it a gift certificate to whichever online source or cash prize, at a minimum, assuming the winner uses an MSP430 Launchpad. ... OR ... 2) I will contribute $20 US to the prize, if the project also includes a C2000, Stellaris Launchpad or a 2nd MSP430. ... OR ... 3) I will contribute $40 US to the prize, if the project includes an MSP430 Launchpad and at least two of the following: MSP430, C2000 or Stellaris processor. The criteria are mutually exclusive- if the winner meets the criteria for [3], the winner can't claim [2] and [1], for example. I will entertain, pending community opinion of course, the idea of "runner ups", provided those meet certain other standards. A runner up cannot get a prize above the winner: for instance if the winner doesn't meet the [3] criteria, neither can the runner up, right? Therefore the runner up(s) would win the prize(s) below the winner... catch my drift? Anyone could hook up a few MCU's and make some lights blink, but it's more about doing the most with the hardware and software than just hooking things up and making lights blink. I will stipulate that if you enter the same project here, on 43oh.com as well on stellarisiti.com, you cannot claim a prize from both, should you win.

abecedarian 330 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I also think all the entered projects should be fully open source- code, boards, et cetera. Link to post Share on other sites
jpnorair 340 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I'm finishing an MSP430 + CC430 dev kit that does wireless, Energia, USB, and all kinds of other stuff that should knock the AVR Arduino folks on their butts. I will throw in 3-pack of these modules for the prize! (kit is called "OMG" for Opentag Module+Gadget) I would submit the project itself, but it doesn't seem right -- this is a long term project that just happens to be finishing-up during Nov/Dec.

cubeberg 540 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I'm going to have to debate entering my clock, or trying to come up with something epic that I can complete before the end of the year Those are some serious prizes! Link to post Share on other sites
spirilis 1,265 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I have a project started in July/August and ending now... would that count? ---- edit: nm, that's spelled out in the rules Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Abe, I'll add the $10 one to the list. Thanks for sponsoring. I'm finishing an MSP430 + CC430 dev kit that does wireless, Energia, USB, and all kinds of other stuff that should knock the AVR Arduino folks on their butts. I will throw in 3-pack of these modules for the prize! (kit is called "OMG" for Opentag Module+Gadget) I would submit the project itself, but it doesn't seem right -- this is a long term project that just happens to be finishing-up during Nov/Dec. You can add it in. Does not matter. I'm going to have to debate entering my clock, or trying to come up with something epic that I can complete before the end of the year Those are some serious prizes! If not, enter your clock. I have a project started in July/August and ending now... would that count? ---- edit: nm, that's spelled out in the rules Yes... provided it was not entered earlier.

abecedarian 330 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 My wife found out about this and made me change things. I can contribute $20 (US) to the prize and that's it, but she considers 43oh separate from this so I will gift $40 US to Bluehash to divvy up as necessary, which means $20 to 43oh and $20 to Stellarisiti. bluehash 1 Link to post Share on other sites
abecedarian 330 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Sorry for any confusion. Link to post Share on other sites
bobnova 59 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 There're some *very* cool prizes there. That energy scanvanger just cost me half an hour of research time! I'll have to actually work on the project I've been contemplating. I wouldn't call it epic, but it's at least interesting Link to post Share on other sites

Fred 453 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I've got an unused EXP430FR5739 I said I'd donate to the next PoTM but it looks like you already have one. I've save it for the next one... bluehash 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I've not done much with the MSP430 lately and what I have done it's really up to much (and is very similar to my previous PeeLight project). However, if this meets the requirements then I'll make up the numbers... http://www.instructables.com/id/Motion-sensing-Lego-figure-nightlight/ Link to post Share on other sites
