 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

There's a design contest starting on 28th November utilising the DesignSpark chipKIT. http://www.chipkitchallenge.com/ There's limited samples available to entrants. With so much interest in this area forum participants can demonstrate their ideas and win a share of the prises. |

I wish they had a little more detail on the "energy efficient design" aspect of the contest. I mean, if I don't power it and put it in a freezer so that it uses zero power, I win right? They should require it to do something specific and then evaluate the energy efficiency. Thanks for sharing though. I'll keep an eye on it. - Rich Fuel Efficient Cars HQ |

energy efficient with linear voltage regulator which sink 5mA quiescent current? i.e. 250 times more current is wasted due to the poor power supply design than the PIC32 itself in low power mode |
