FREE MANGO PI MQ-Pro RiscV SBC!!! ANTI-PROCRASTINATION GIVEAWAY!!! FREE BOARDS FOR GOOD IDEAS!!!


Holy cow. I have way too many dormant pieces of gear. Let's mix things up and give some away!

RULES ARE SIMPLE

1. Follow and Retweet

2. Submit a Project Idea for one of the Boards (Details Below)

3. Extra Entry for Runners-Up Drawings for Subscribing to my Blog

4. Good Luck!(YES,I am giving away a Mango Pi)



Having had a couple of days to fiddle faddle around and get to grips with my growing collection of little things that do big things, I have come to an extremely unsettling conclusion: I have WAY too much gear, and I think I'm just two wrong turns from becoming a hoarder! Okay, maybe not so much on the hoarder side of things, but my tendency to buy more than one of something; instantly assuming that if I need one then five is probably best,has finally come back to haunt me. Being new to the DIY/Making/open source world, I consistently over bought, and frequently ordered something that I didn't really need(i.e; it looked cool as hell, but i had no clue how to use it!), and now I'm swimming in boards with no projects. HELP! Please just give me some killer ideas, and maybe some build guide yoda/sage type stuff, and I'll send some of my overstock for you to play with! I  know some of you can relate to me here when I say, I feel guilty having the means to make something cool, and not taking advantage of that ability. This leads to a cycle where I procrastinate my way through my days off by writing and rewriting lists of potential uses for this veritable clone army! It is crazy. So we are going to nip that in the bud, and give some of my cool stuff to you. 
    
Rules are as follows. Submit a project idea that Utilizes one of the boards shown in the photos. For those who are blind like me,the boards are:

*Raspberry Pi Pico and Clones 2,4, and 16mb
*Wemos D1s
*Rp2040 in Xiao/qtpy form factor and LIPO
*Dt-BL10(RiscV)
*Arduino Uno Clones
*Various Iterations of Esp32/s2/s3/c3
*Note that also pictured is a large box of various sbc's and soc's, although many of those pictured are actually either intended for or being built into something, a great number of them are just waiting for me to dream up something cool. So if you have a super dope idea, lay it on me!

Designs can be anything, but I am partial to all things synthesizer! If it makes noise: it screeches, whines, blips, bloops, sweeps and creeps; then I'll probably love it! I love lights! Pomodoro timers! Led Fractals! Love it! Retro Gaming! Honestly, if you think its cool, submit it. It will not hurt! Call for entries starts at 10:00 pm EST on Friday September 2nd, 2022 and ends 11:59 pm EST on Friday September 9th, 2022. Entries must include a retweet, follow, and a submission. The winner will be chosen based on the creativity, technical merit, feasibility, and general swagger. I hope everyone can come up with some fun stuff for my kids and I to learn and play with!

Prizes are as Follows

MANGO PI MQ-Pro 1Gb

    1. I know it may be way too early (https://builds.shipilev.net/openjdk-jdk-riscv/) but I'd like to make it a Jenkins agent, as we only need Java and ssh.
      I would also love to experiment with Docker (https://carlosedp.medium.com/docker-containers-on-risc-v-architecture-5bc45725624b)
      .

  2. I have an idea for your Raspberry Pi Pico! Use the Pico as a Morse code teaching tool with a button to accept the Morse code as input, a volume adjustable speaker providing the audio, a LED providing the visual, and an OLED display showing the translation of Morse code into letters! My father learned the Morse code during World War 2.
