DuinoProto is a very good idea!

Time to convert my simple Piezo Gadgeteer module to a smart one that follows contest requirements:

Wow... I started drafting something very similar to the DuinoProto this morning. Always a day late... Sad

Excited about the contest though!!!

Very cool! Unfortunately, probably beyond my current skills, but I'm very much looking forward to seeing what folks come up with.

Are team entries acceptable? Maybe I can convince Pete to let me work with him on a module. I have some ideas...just not near enough experience sourcing parts and fabricating to make them reality.

@Architect - First time I've seen your blog. Very nice!

@devhammer - You can do it! Come on...I need some company in the non-Pro category. It'll be a great learning experience. Sourcing & fabricating are only a small part of the equation. Big ideas are what they really want. Of course, if I was near Pete I'd probably want to team with him also Wink

I'll talk to Pete about it this weekend...since we both share an interest in music (my degree was in music/theatre), it might be a fun project to tackle. Smiley

The rules states that the module has to use either the X or U socket.

Can we use S (SPI) ?

The contest page said "For example, it can use socket type X and then 3 I/Os can be used to control the alarm sound frequency or alarm type. Or use socket type U to send the alarm configuration over UART (serial port)."

Those are just examples. You are free to use SPI/CAN/USB or whatever you like. Keep in mind that there is more XY sockets on mainboards than there is U and S sockets so in general it is better to use XY.

Is it one idea entry per person/team or can we submit multiple ideas?
