Winners Announced… #MakeWithMaxim – Drone + mBed Development Kit Giveaway

Learning high power systems for distribution and getting more knowledge on ac theory and digital circuits for advancing my amature radio license.

I have always love to play with all these things. They are sooo COOL and fun 😊 You get to play and learn from it.

Will be used to develop a neighborhood security watch with a remote alarm system.

I am member of kryptos I made app development team.I use the board for the development of new apps

I have started building a 4wd smart robot car with Arduino. I’m still in a learning stage. But it would be helpful for me to explore further with this kind of things with more practical knowledge by debugging issues which adds to my learning experience.

Learning high power systems for distribution and getting more knowledge on ac theory and digital circuits for advancing my amature radio license

it will be used in a project to monitor attendance at the school auditorium.  since each student and lecturers have school id they can use them to register for attendance at the auditorium door using the barcode reader connected to the MAX32600MBED board and the camera will be used to capture the face of the attendant.

To learn more about motor driven circuits and the like in the hopes of someday building my own quad. As well as various other motor driven appliances (3d printer, circuit etcher) etc.

the kit will be used for a new approach to balance

I want to try to use it to develop a small robot that works as personal assistant (using software like mycroft)

they are usefull in my project

Designing a school security surveillance system to prevent intruders from settling in Land belonging to the school community, so this board will be a huge breakthrough or will i say a gold mine because the whole project now becomes more of programming than circuitry

this Forum is teach how to develop the grand projects
good and Nice Forum

It will surely increase my knowledge and experience is truly unique. I’m going to learn lot of new things with mBed and enjoy a lot with the drone for sure 😉

Main hub (maybe worn on belt) for array of wearables sensors.

I would use this to advance my personal knowledge of motor control, by working with it on several projects. I also plan to advocate its use to my competitive robotics team.

I want to use this o advance my knowledge in general. Need to keep learning more.

started using arduinos couple of weeks ago, this will allow me to learn more about robots, and allow me to build my own.

i would use them to advance my home built drone am busy working on

Looking to build a custom flight controller for a long duration UAV.  The DC motor controller would be for controlling the variable swept wing and for the DC prop motor.  Other functions include solar cell management and servo control of the camera gimbals.

Would love to use this platform in my graduate studies in control engineering and help some friends with farm land surveying!

I want to build a 4 axis robot to test my skills

Will be used for my automated plant grow, care system, wich has pumps, dc motors and solenoids to control and needs 12-16 bit ADC for taking in soil moisture, temperature, humidity and other enviromental sensor data.

I have a project ongoing which i need to design my own CPU board and motor control for some linear actuators. I have never used a Maxim CPU before, but i would like to. I’m not fan of atmel due some “personal reasons”
I need also few analog voltage outputs to control the drive motors, pulse inputs etc.

and ofc the drone will be used for watching this bigger girl at work 😊

stage of project some time ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_c23dsYWsM

Here’s my project idea:

I would like to automate my model railway with a stand-alone controller. Therefore no expensive PC with an everlasting boot-sequence would be necessary to automatically switch points and signals, to set routes, and to monitor the movements of trains.

Nevertheless a connection to a PC would be possible via Ethernet or USB with that powerful ARM processor in the MAX32600MBED. The operator of the PC could observe all current and previous movements and give commands. The whole system would be very close to a real interlocking system.

The MAXREFDES89 would be an ideal starting point to operate my somehow oldfashioned analogue trains wich are equipped with brushed DC motors.

WORK IS A FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT - NIETSCZHE

i am going to learn this and will try to create something new out of this
which will be useful in my field .

I’m a 38 year old who decided to go back to school to get an Electrical Engineering degree.  I’m finally in my second to last semester and excited to learn even more.  I would use this drone to explore applications in Precison Agriculture to help farmers grow crops more efficiently!

ARM mcu + Motor driver board will be great for learning and implementing control system concepts learned in textbooks, with enough experimenting with these I will like to make inverted pedulum.

I will use it to make a 3d printer, not the actual one(of course), but a working model.

with four motor driver maybe i will try building drone or IOT based transport system at warehouse.

Wonderful to explore the best in tech. My curiosity always leads me to understand the latest available electronics platforms.

Design an az-el antenna rotator for amateur radio communication satellites.

Us it to start/stop time base motion detect for my Go-pro camera

Use it to control a Gigapan-like camera mount

Garden automation is what i’ll use it for :D

This package would be a wonderful addition to the Hacker/Maker Space I’m involved with!
We have a small group of people, (age 9 to ~70,) working together to learn coding and interfacing with the real world in creative and innovative ways.

Not a clue but it will be great!

I will use as a tool to teach children principles of programming and operating drone

I would like to see what I can do with it

I’m a retired tool and die maker. One of my many hobbies is electronics though greatly different now than in my early ham radio days. I’m working with a Raspberry pi to interface my Lionel model train layout automating signals and switches. Not so much into robotics but I am eager to learn all I can about things.

I intend to use this to develop an Automobile Aid for drivers.

i’m exited for the drone but before all I really need the mBed for developing my project 😊

I am going to use them to have fun of course…
Tinkering and experimenting is the best way to spend a weekend.

the kit will allow me to be creative

Since being a DIY inspired and interested in Electronics, I’ll be going to use this to learn more and upgrade my Projects beyond Arduino. Since its damn too good and powerful than Arduino, than I don’t think I need to think in expanding my project scope.
If i get it, then my Current project would be to add it in my Robot for Robowar and its Motor Shield will do wonders for me for brushed motors.

My colleague Pinchester (Pinky) and I intend to use this device to achieve world domination from the safety of my err… OUR basement laboratory. Hand it over now and you will be considered for leniency when the time of judgement is nigh!

I am a high school teacher at the Mercer County Career Center in Mercer Pa.  I have been teaching Electronics Technology for 32 years to 10th, 11th and 12th grade students. Using New technology and the ability to have fun learning electronics is what I try to do each day within my class. I would use the boards to introduce this type of technology to my students. Thank You for the chance to use your technology within my teaching and class.

Hopefully the answer to a prototype 4-axis pick and place packaging robot, the interest is in the 25% ripple and how that affects the FWD and STOP constant dramatics.

I am currently an undergrad student in ECE and I have worked on many embedded systems projects, one of which I am currently working is a drone. So getting this drone or the Maxim embedded board can really help me to tinker with it.

It will be used in my education of future air craft mechanics in the Royal Danish Air Force.

hi there this could be a solution to my 1:1 scale motor circuit for my astromech droid

I’ve been wanting to build a control system / robotic hand for ages and using this dev kit would make so many of the problems merely challenges.

Hovering decorative lighting

I can not bridge the psychological barrier and start to program real-time systems such as motor control and powerful converters. I hope that the system MAX32600MBED will be very helpful in this and not just be…

good opportunity to jump from the old 8051 world to a new.

I help run an electronics beginners class and one of these would make a super base board for a glass cleaning robot that uses suction to hold itself on vertical surfaces.
I’m afraid I’m a non social media type; but if I start using it I’ll use the #MakeWithMaxim hashtag.
Happy hacking to all, and good luck everybody!

I don’t have a facebook account and I will not have one. Even at the cost of missing out the giveaway

New to these boards. Will have to learn on how to use them

I can not enter the Giveaway. It always says “Profile Information Required…
It looks like you haven’t filled out your profile yet! We need you to fill out your AAC profile before you can enter this giveaway.” even though I have filled out the required profile information

I Have just started getting to robotics, my 14 year old daughter is in robotics at her middle school, she had a project to build a wind turbine. The project took three months to complete, but it was well worth it her club got first place locally and ranked 4th in the south eastern division. I really want to get some more projects for the kids and myself to bond over.

I would build an automated security platform :D

The MAX32600MBED and MAXREFDES89# will be perfect for a robotic grocery cart project I am working on. I hope I am lucky enough to win the contest!

Work on stabilization of video from moving camera platform, possibly smoothing or maybe even removing frame motion. This would be helpful in real-time security, agricultural, search & rescue surveillance.

Looking to prototype a new heart rate monitor, health tracker using the AFE, display and wireless peripherals. I’ve been wanting to try out the mbed platform, looks like a great dev kit.

I want a drone to be honest 😊

Would love to use these boards to control a BLDC motor to be used in an RC car - just for fun!

Looking at autonomous drone experimentation.

I am not sure what I would use it for just yet I have just signed up for an electronics course, I am a PC hardware Technician and I want to expand my knowledge and create a hobby. My wife passed away last Nov. and I am spreading my wings into hobbies and so I chose electronics please let me win.

I watch the Ben Heck Show religiously and am so jealous of his knowledge.  I want to get a better understanding of an Arduino and continue to create targets and devices for my remote control hobby but since I use a power wheelchair…create things for the disabled community as well.

monitoring weather sistem in an IoT project. Learning end training how to use a drone!!

I was thinking next summer I might like to build a quadcopter and see what all features I could include.

Want to study the possibilities of using the technology of drones in hospitals, such as using them as transportation or patient’s security.

Learning / research about small autonomous aircraft

Going to use it for my Final Year Project to develop some systems, not really sure what to do yet, but will learn more and try harder ~

I want to learn how to use it at first, then i will find an interesting project to work on…

I would probably used it in my next drone build. But as an amateur nature photographer i would be totally excited in winning the DJI Phantom 3 drone, because that would open me whole new way of capturing our glorious nature from the sky. I have liked Maxim Integrated on Facebook and also followed on Twitter and also shared here: https://twitter.com/sajmon8/status/780452594217091072 . Thanks for this great opportunity.

I have an Arduino, so it would certainly be a great addition.
Also, I would probably build a remote controlled car, since I have never done that before and expanding with my RGB LCD shield would make for a nice contraption.
And last but not least, I always wanted to buy a drone, but I never got around to do so.

As a teacher of Robotics and Mechatronics and also supporting kids in the local Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Challenge competitions, I am interested in how they use Arduino in project design. I may not be the creative one, but my school kids are always keen to make something new.

Dang, don’t get to enter.
I absolutely will not do/join any type (well almost any) of social media (I have email, phone, writing utensils).
I am an electrical engineer just not nerdy enough.
I truly hate social media it keeps me from entering cool giveaways like this. Oh well, back to work.

I’m going to make a remote weather station, that will be uploaded to my website(Along with a couple other tools).

I would use this to develop robots that can assist others with limited mobility

Have never used a Maxim ucontroller before, would like to test drive.  Motor control is is nice to know.  Thanks!!

I’m working on a prototype small package robot, that will crawl a culvert (long) and search for cracks, and other damage.  I need to be able to do linear independent movement, plus be able to move a camera arm in 3 directions. There may also be some additional sensors (temperature, pressure, altitude), so need some processing power.

I’m interested in learning more about controlling DC motors and also would like to get more involved with ARM processors.

I have some ideas about augmented reality and this kit came in handy!!!

My interest is to define an architecture for developing embedded systems in mass transit vehicles automation segment as buses and trains. I am considering is board for this application.

I am involved in teaching.  Our student are always keen to learn and use new technology.

To develop haptic interfaces.

I will use these for the agriculture application.

Going to use this platform for new project – special automated drone for car accident assistance in highways (provides additional video channel directly from an incident scene to all emergency services are involved). Finally the system allows to send first shots and videos from various angles and as a result allows to correctly determine rescue/medical equipment is needed and to reduce road deaths.

Integrated AFE, Programmable Buffers for ADC and DACs, Operational Amplifiers, Comparators and Analog Switches make this a great device to explore analog world! Always wanted these features… TPU and DMA make this solution complete.

A million possibilities with this .

I’m interested in controlling drones for videomaking and monitoring crops in agricolture.

Supervising student projects always leads to burn outs at some stage! So always interested in seeing new devices for driving motors and making use of new features in the controllers.

building prototypes with moveable optics

I will utilize the MAX32600MBED mBed development kit to investigate the monitoring and notification of rockfall hazards in mountainous roadway areas.

I would use this board as a leaning tool for controlling motors so I can teach my son how to build robots.

Control self levelling platform and temperature.

I plan to develop products to be used in the model train industry. My first product would be a model train scale speedometer which would work with all scales of today’s model trains. Other products would include hardware to animate scenery items such as a water tower spigot and building lighting, etc.

To finally get into ARM programming and together with the motor Control board it should be a lot of fun

I am developing an autonomous piloting system for avoiding obstacles that can be used with either wheeled robots or flying drones. In parallel I will be investigating how to minimise losses on electrical motors.

Developing code for avoiding obstacles either for wheeled vehicles or flying drones. It will be great fun to use maxim’s products in order to do so!!!

Learned about this giveaway through Maxim’s EE-mail. If I receive this giveaway, I will be using this development kit to design small embedded systems, particularly in the renewable energy and home use applications. When I get more experienced, the motor driver shield will definitely help me step up my game!

Will use this to do awesome stuff.

New ee hobby task, play with this IOT MBED platform from Maxim. Thumbs up for Maxim!

Although it is not approved for competition, it looks like a good training tool for the local FIRST robotics team.

we need a better solution for our 3d phantom motor control - this could be a good candidate

am developing a traffic system as to check car speeds and overload remotely to reduce accidents and drones could be vital for tracking and re-transmitting the signals.

Will use to build a simple robot first, and then get more detailed as I learn more

Will be used for educational purposes in University course “Embedded electronics”

Will be used for education of students in Plovdiv University - course of Embedded Electronics

I want to develop a high speed multi turn servo

Working out the design details concerns an aqua-drone for marine research, inspection and repair - This looks like one good step in the right direction with solid and supported engineered product.

very interested in the embedded system. I want to expand my knowledge and explore various things with Maxim Integrated’s ARM mBed development kits and motor driver shields if given a chance….I ‘ll also use and present the kits in the Open Day event which will be held at KIGALI INDEPENDENT UNIVERSITY ULK this coming month.

I’d like to work more with the ARM architecture and develop a deeper understanding of Real Time Operating Systems. I’ve always wanted to build a drone, and getting my hands on the MAX32600MBED and motor driver shield would be a great starting point!

I am interested in experimenting with sensory objects for people with learning disabilities (particularly those with reduced vision) exploring ways of combining audio with tactile feedback.

I’m so glad about this giveaway!
About 2 weeks ago I started designing a self balancing robot that will act act as an alarm clock that runs around the house until you catch it and turn off the alarm; it will also have wifi & Bluetooth so it can be programmed using the phone or computer (and maybe also use wifi to display weather data for the day).
While researching for the best components to use I’ve already decided to use MAX32600. The design currently makes use of stepper motors to control the robot, but for sure it will be fun using MAXREFDES89# with brushed DC motors.

Another project that I would want to use MAX32600 would be in an automotive application - I want to connect it to my cars’ CANbus and display a comprehensive list of engine parameters and even to have the ability to modify ECU parameters.

I would love to use one of these in my projects in automation!

Planning to use this dev board with RF chips and an RC toy-car, to create a simple remote controlled car and later on planning to up the project to autonomous drive with sensors.

I will be able to expand the capabilities and features of my command-based automatic home switches. With multiple GPIO pins I can add multiple sensors to improve environmental sensing. Lastly, security features were my later concern with my project,  with the mbed I can improve the end-to-end security with its trust protection unit.

Create an autonomous flight control system for my RC airplanes. I want it to save its takeoff position and direction. Climb to specified altitude preform specified aerobatics. Monitor battery and trigger a return and land at the saved take off position when battery is discharged.

I am working on several projects right now in motion (stepper and brushed dc motors), and LiFi development.

Home automation station - at least that’s what I’ve been experimenting with lately

I’ll use these boards to develop a handheld GPS device, for hiking or driving navigation.

I’m a computer engineering student, for sure this will help me study adn have fun.

Make an application using PyQt to control sensors and motors and then explain, break down, and teach the code used. There is material on how to use Python instead of other languages but never how to then have GUI portion using using PyQt rather than Tkinter.

Great giveaway!
I would use the boards to build a self balancing robot that I will use as an alarm clock that runs like crazy around the house until you catch it and turn off the alarm (no more hitting the snooze button for 2 hours :D). My design also includes Bluetooth and wifi so the alarm can be programmed using the phone or computer (the connectivity could also serve for getting weather info for the day displayed on the LCD). In the search for suitable components I already decided to give a try with MAX32600; although I was planning in using stepper motors to control the robot, it would be fun to use brushed DC motors controlled with MAXREFDES89.

Another project for what I plan using the MAX32600 is my car; I want to tap into the CANbus and K-lines to get a comprehensive list of engine parameters and (maybe) even have the possibility to modify engine settings. For this project I plan using a touchscreen lcd.

want to learn about Maxim’s line of microcontrollers in order to apply it in remote monitoring and control

I think that would be a good start in doing some electronic experiences for myself.

I am starting to learn robotics. This micro-controller will come in handy. I have some designs that I want to pursue.

Im building a remote controlled boat for seajetty inspections from the water for the harbour industryand and could use this!

I will use it for face tracking system.

I am going to use these boards in outer limits of my creativity.

i will use it in my college to do many expeiments and spread the knowledge to my friends.As i am very much interested in drones and DSLR’s.wishing i could win it.

I am currently studying robotics and artificial intelligence because I have a project I am thinking about. This micro controller will be useful.

Im going to use the board to build a waterdrone/boat for seajetty inspections for the industry!

I like to keep abreast of new products!

I will use it to carry my shopping basket full of beer.

Will be used to develop aereal scanning of crop fields and status report.

i am going to come up with projects in and with my electronics class,a bunch of broke down vets.

use at electronics class for disabled vets to get retrained and certified.come up with some projects with them.

Electrical engineering student. I will use it to help a project with robotics and automation with a robotics club to further advance a project involving an interactive animatronic panther. Also use it to learn from and expand on knowledge in computer science and interactive hardware.

Every vehicle needs a drone dock on top where a small drone can land and ride around in a wind-sheltered cowling of sorts.  When the vehicle is started, the drone lifts off and rises about twenty feet or so, enough to get a clear view around the vehicle to check for kids, cats and clearances.  Then it settles back into its dock till it’s needed again.  In a traffic jam, the drone could be launched to look ahead and survey the situation and look around for possible exits.  And parking would be a snap if, through the drone, you had a clear 360 deg. view around the vehicle.  All this without upgrading to a $80K vehicle or waiting for mature autonomy.

It will be very helpful to learn as well as design advanced drone security system and help learning practical knowledge and manymore #makewithmaxim

Active camera stabilization on drones

As always, learning and tinkering for fun!

I recently acquired a Lepton thermal imager and breakout board from FLIR. If I won the drone and mBed, I’d attach the thermal imager to the drone. All kinds of uses for a “sentinel” such as this; fire detection, lost people, etc.

These boards would be great fun to use.  I think this would be an interesting choice for a controller for the mini train I am building to give my four daughters rides around our 10 acres.

Very excited to apply this new technology to my ongoing experimentation with RC multi-copters and digital photography. I am hoping to design a system that can be used for developing advanced cartography applications.

I think I’ll try to build an outdoor surveillance system.

As an electronics hobbyist, I’ve used Maxim ICs for years in various projects—robotics, solar tracking, e-toys.  My son and I entered various BEAM robotics contests when he was a teen, before he took a degree in computer programming.  Now he’s teaching me the basics of microprocessors (I got my first arduino last month).  The MAX32600MBED sounds like it will be a “grad degree” for me, a great second step; combined with the MAX14871 motor driver, this will bring me full circle back to the fun of robotics.  Just in time to have some robotics fun with the grandkids!

Thinking about building LoRA enabled smart power grid node.

You are cool guys and I hope to get a gift for my Student Design Bureau. We plan to fully automate the Drone for solutions of group management tasks the robots in the ground field.

cant wait to try out one of these boards on one of my side projects

With these boards abilities the ideas I have for building a drone for maneuvers and racing are possible.

I’ve built an Arduino-Duo (ARM)-based yard, garden and farm security system that keeps deer , dogs and other pests out of gardens, flowerbeds and yards using directed lasers, paintball guns and Nerfball guns.

As an aside, it monitors door and window openings, temperatures in freezers, motion in selected areas…, alerting when appropriate. Now, if I win this challenge and get to use a drone to the system, I would like to take it to the next step of sending sensors aloft by automatically launching a drone to locate children missing from malls, schools, homes, etc., then putting it into production as a user-installed command an control centre.

All the best to everyone who enters!

Dave Davies

What I would do with the board is not as creative as a lot of the other people, however I would give it to my 13 year old nephew so that I could help to teach about electronics. He already has an interest and wants to start building his own robots. As far as the drone, that would make an awesome Christmas present for my dad, who’s been wanting to get one for some time and myself being a broke student cannot afford to get him one. Thanks you guys are awesome!

Maybe try to automate a small scale aerogel drying process

I plan on using the drone as a surveillance system to monitor our livestock.  I also plan to equip the drone with various sensors to study the health of crops on my farm.

It would be helpfull with my thesis project for my degree plus, projects for robotic arms in industry.

im studying mechatronics and im new to arduino and microprocessor architecture and programming but I have a deep longing for inventing, as an aspiring inventor, a kit like this is a walk in the park.

im studying mechatronics engineering yr2 and im new to arduino and microprocessor architecture and programming.  my dream is to be an inventor with a kit like this I’d further realise that dream.

learning about circuits

i am a embedded engineer…i want to implement in my project .It will be used as a normal robot…to finish some particular tasks..

I was used as fire watch and finding missing persons, I am going to try.

great pleasure to play with these 😊

In recent years in Indonesia, natural disaster such as volcanic eruptions, landslides, forest fires and others frequently happen. I have strong desire to create something useful that can use if that disaster comes again. Something like autonmous mobile robot for first evacuation action or autonomous drone for real time situation monitoring, so we can plan strategic step to handle this situation. I strongly believe that MAX32600MBED and MAXREFDES89 could be realy useful to help me to complete our project (actualy, me and my team already start to build mobile robot platform), plus with Phantom 3 drone for real time situation monitoring would be easy to realized. Here is my facebook profile https://www.facebook.com/sapdo and my twitter status https://twitter.com/kapakgeni/status/789002034959704064, I posted something about this giveaway. I Hope to become a winner for this giveaway. cheers 😊

This will be a great platform in order for me to do hardware interfacing and to learn about DC motor control. Thank you for offering this giveaway.

During my free time, I like try and program new board in Ada. I already start to program an arm microcontroller for the Make with Ada competition. You can follow my project on this page http://lvcetada.e-monsite.com/pages/make.html (the competition is ended but I continue to work on it). So, If I have one of the maxim card, I will try to program it in Ada!

PWRCryptX: A Centralized controller for Home Automation. Integrates Power Line Communication as the main communication medium to controller the Slave devices. PWRCryptX runs a controller and an Encryption/Decryption Algorithm so that all its communication with other devices are secure. Platform: IoT. PWRCryptX can be used as a data server. The stored data can be later studied for better optimized power sharing, based on data analytics. 

To learn about the mbed system and development.

That’s a feature-packed development kit. Looking forward to building a robotic rover capable of remote/wireless control with Maxim’s mBed microcontroller. Since the motors and actuators will be electronically-driven, MAXREFDES89# will do the job. With its Arduino-compatible form factor, integration and addition of sensors and peripherals would be easy.

i will use it to teach students in our orphanage school here in south Eastern nigeria

I am working engineer with municipal corporation in main sewer section 1.where our Manhole’s cover get burried offen.To find out such cover is great task for us. 2. Our sewer line get’s choked up many occasions we have to determine the cause of the choke and internal position of the sewer line.
