#MakeWithMaxim - nanoPower Technology and 3D Printer Giveaway

Hopefully building a robot that will have minimal-power-usage peripherals to maximize power consumption in other areas, such as in the motors for terrain navigation. Also may have IoT applications such as data transfer/communication and external control

Being FPGA/DSP/ME/EE Engineer (self), these kits will be helpful for designing new equipment that i would like to use for safety during RF testing. 3D printer on the other hand is something i have been planning to purchase so that i can design custom parts for my Raspberry Pi based project. Hopefully one day, completion of this project will lead to a new device that can be used in automobiles(specially large Trucks) to provide drivers with important information about road/weather conditions, distances, sign post heights and so on.

Buoy monitoring system. The kit will allow to extend the work of the equipment, and the printer - to make the case of devices

I want to make a battery operated “user” sensor - effectively sensing only his/her phone and shows calendar events, etc.

Because today’s devices are rapidly shrinking with an ever-increasing demand for greater capability, examples of circuits and systems which enable designers to extend a tiny device’s overall operational time and flexibility are in demand.  The local College is investigating the design of trainers for students who will reap the benefits of currently available solutions. I seek to fill that gap with a trainer based on the MAX32660.

I’d just like to learn more about the products and see where that leads me!

Start with mechanical cat toys and gradually work up to saving the world.

A voice recognition software installed on a raspberry pi powered pill dispenser and life saving box for elderly people that have memory and mobility challenges. It reminds them when it’s time to take their medication and dispenses it for them on a timer and alerts 911 incase of emergencies.

I would utilize the kit in support of the creation of a very low power and light weight cell phone and 2 meter radio repeater that could be attached to a drone to support search and rescue backcountry missions and regional emergencies.

With so many thefts each year, especially of cars, I wanted to design a GPS tracking device that can use cell phone electronics to transmit tracking information.  Since I’m a Ham Radio operator I want it to have the option to use an optional transmitter to transmit APRS location information.  An optional thought is to be able to send a code to the device to disable the motor.  That way if they end up in a high speed chase the car can be disabled remotely.

I am hoping to integrate the Evaluation Kit with some sensors I have created using conductive fabric. The idea is to create blankets or wearables for monitoring vitals of sick newborns or especially premature babies. That way they can be placed in the incubator while constantly being monitored and without the discomfort of having multiple monitor patches attached. This can also be useful for further monitoring at home or during transport between hospitals.

Id use the Maxim evaluation boards for an emergency stand by robot prototype. The ability to have fine control over current is critical for a always on device, especially those that rely on batteries or super capacitors.

Pet dog health and fitness monitoring.

Creating items for my Amateur Radio interests.

With the MAX32660 operating as the brain and the MAX17222 as the heart, I will build a biopotential monitoring device to track health data of old people. To complete the system, the MAX30003 will interact with the analog world and acquire the data with reliability.

These two ICs are a good choice for making a wireless mouse and keyboard with their low power consumption.  Another application is a wireless game controller.

Develop a 3D printer that prints from the waste plastic around my household and use the objects to educate the poor in my neighborhood.

Traditional ECG machines for cardiac cycle monitoring have many problems associated with them such as high cost, less portability, Complicated set-up and wirings, requirement of presence of a skilled medical practinioner all the time etc. Considering these problems, I aim to develop a cardiac cycle monitoring tool using BCG which stands for ballistocardiography which uses the ballistic forces generated by heart rather than electric impulses in traditional ECG. I will be using accelerometer sensor along with these kits for the prototype.

These tools will assist in the design and implementation of a low power local area tracking system for offroad users and SAR personnel. The core of the system will contain a low power/moderate range VHF transceiver on each node that will work in a mesh network configuration, possibly with a central repeater on site. The 3D printer will be useful in creating prototype enclosures for the individual modules, as well as supplementary brackets and guides. The Maxim modules will be a great tool to be able to maximize battery life and to potentially look at energy harvesting techniques to extend battery life.

I would like to design a small spread spectrum camera feed suspended from a balloon inflated by a sparklet sized hydrogen bulb. Many of these would be inserted into a 155mm artillery shell and distributed by airburst over a target area. This would give multiple aerial views of a battlefield and hopefully save lives by giving speedy long distance intelligence information. I think the hardest part is to create these devices capable of surviving the initial massive acceleration.

Connected wireless sensor built with nanoPower Tech can be operated at longer duration which will be a huge advantage in IoT deployment.

As we conducting PhD. study on EV(Electrical Vehicles) systems in Berlin Technical University with my professor so on that context we are planing to build a device that can understand driver characteristic that would be helpful for the future of the EV systems. We are planing to build a device as IoT device which has coin size and put on a steering wheel. Thanks to MEMS sensor device will be able to collect data that will help to understand driver behavior during drive. Since it will be battery backup device our IoT device supposed to as low power as possible also requires mcu that has powerful cpu and well peripheral units to able to get data and process faster. Thus we believe that max17222 and max32660 kits would be well fit to build our device’s skeleton. To sum up we would like to submit our idea for this idea contest and hope to be one of winners. Thanks AAC family and all sponsor. Cheers, MSc. Erhan YILMAZ.

Since working on prototypes of projects i have always struggled with custom designs, hopefully i’ll give my ideas life with this.

I want to make a stereo system in my car using Arduino or Raspberry, I am a beginner. But I would like to change the cable system to wireless, so it is not complicated to install a chaotic cable, it looks like the MAX17222 Evaluation Kit is a module that can be used to support my project, the MAX32660 Evaluation Kit is very inspiring to use on my system to support driver control while driving.

I want to be the IRL Rodney Copperbottom

I would like to have one of these kits to create a health, fitness and vital signs monitoring station for my track and field team. These items would be helpful to mesure accurately vital signs during a workout, which helps to maximise the benefits of the workout, and also track improvement and progression of athletes. Wearables and fitness monitors would collect data and send it to the monitoring station powered by a RPi, and the coaches will be able to maximise our trainings. 3D printer would also be amazing to print tiny enclosures that fits perfectly without compromising the aerodynamics on throwing equipment such as javelins or discus. 3d printing would give us the ability to attach motion sensors, accelerometers and other sensors on equipment that would collect and help improve athletes.

not sure how i will use these boards, i am still new at this and have no idea what is available. seems like a lot to choose from and i think some may fit needs better than others. the learning curve is taking the most time.

I have an idea to create a device that goes around neck (like a chain something like that) of a blind person, which will use object detection and machine learning to detect objects in front of them and alert about the thing through small ear pods ,

I work at a small Technical college, the first project would be stands to hold our HMI’s, and other object for our robots to transport for the workcell we are building.

Many people suffer from various illnesses or even healthy people fall.  While things like Life Alert help, what if the person is unconscious?  A device that could detect changes in heart rate, pulse, and body position could detect if a person has fallen suddenly by a fast change in position.  Then the device could alert someone automatically if they are unable to notify anyone themselves.  At the same time it would allow monitoring patients movements in case it’s someone that needs assistance to move and didn’t call for help.

My wife works at a nursing home and some patients aren’t supposed to be moving around without assistance.  A device could be use to monitor movements for all the patients and be able to quickly locate them if needed.  Also monitor them daily to ensure there aren’t any emergency issues.

all of this are going to be part of a Rocket developed by me, powering and sensing all

Hope design a home automation system for TV set to be person oriented by detecting presence of a person in the room.

Both the #MakeWithMaxim nanoPower Technology and 3D Printer will contribute to workshops and making with the kids, teens, adults @GizmoCats, “Gizmo Cats - Educating Innovators of the Future”. We can 3D print robots working with Raspberry Pi’s and now make IOT robots with nanoPower.

We have just completed the first stage of a 2,500 wifi/LTE connected IoT device real time location, status monitoring and alerting system but we have run into battery life problems.
As this is now looking like going global and extending to 100K+ devices by Q2 next year, we are going to build our own bespoke platform which will need to extend the usable lifetime by a factor of at least two. Biggest issues are keeping connectivity to RECEIVE external events as well as generate local events is key so we need to steal as much power as we can from a VERY space limited wearable device.

in my actual project i try to use the mesh functionality of esp32.
the esp send only 10 messages per day and will used in ulp if nothing is done.
because some of my sensors are outside, temperatures in winter can reach -25°C a normal accu solution to power the sensors can not be done because of operating temperature.
thatswhy a power harvesting solution with a solar cell and energy storage in supercap 300f will be tested.
The max 32660 would be one of my evaluated ic’s

I’d like some environmental sensors (like river flow rates, wildfire-smoke pollution pm2.5 counters) That could be places in more remote areas and communicate with something like LORA radios. Longer battery life on smaller solar panels would reduce the size and cost of deploying a lot of them to distant areas.

I would design a IOT device that gives updates at the push of a button in a 3D printed container

My idea is to automate the existing things which we are using already, may be it is home or industry. For example, if we have a electronic unit which doesn’t have intelligent to shutdown automatically. for this instead of buying a new unit with auto shutoff controlled, we can try to build a small unit which can take care of shutdown automatically. This will help wasting of the old unit, cost. This will improve creativity and using the old one with smart technology.

I’m a student, so not very experienced, and I work on a much smaller scale. I mostly work on my own sensors and automation. The 3D printer would help a lot with making custom enclosures for my projects.

tinyMonster - SMART Lighting System
The lightning system used in any normal/smart home or building is still working on century old principle of ON or OFF which need to be modernize to safe precious energy.
During day time we can use natural light to brighten up our homes/buildings but in the early morning, evening or bad weather when less natural light is available we have to use artificial means of light. Using current lighting systems we simply turn it ON at full power instead of complementing natural light with artificial one. And this result in unnecessary waste of lot of energy.
So in order to save energy I want to built a lightening system intelligent enough so it can complement the natural light when available, instead of simply turning on and consume maximum power.

I would like to create pollution sencing drones with large enough propellers to blow smog away whenever certain levels carbon monoxide and other harmful chemicals are at unsafe levels and basically have some type of filtration device incorperated with them as well to clean up our air quality I live in AZ where we have high pollution advisories and are told to try stay inside I want to eliminate that altogether

First plan is to use the printer to make patterns for metal casting as well as plastic injection die patterns in doing so significantly reducing operating expenses as well as raw materials, tooling, time, and energy costs.
Second plan would be to use the printer for making replacement parts and assemblies related to my primary job to also effectively keep costs down.
Third plan is I have a friend who is starting his own enterprise in his garage as I, and he would also benefit from the use of this printer.
Overall I was planning on visiting the local scrap yards and cobbling a 3D printer together with the entrails of former assembly robots, but time is money and at this stage of the game I am struggling for both. Please consider my associate and I for this 3D printer as it will surely move us forward in a positive manner. Thank you. William M.

I have recently built a radio telescope and would be able to up the incoming signal to something readable by an FPGA board but currently cannot due to the low signal supply.

Agriculture monitoring IoT portable handheld device:
Agriculture is the major method to produce food for all. Agriculture field surveyor if had a Smart measuring device of parameters like temperature, humidity, soil moisture, sunlight, pressure, wind speed they can give suggestions to farmers how to protect their crop from starving and for good yields. A smart agriculture monitoring portable handheld devices is to be designed with MAX32660 Evaluation Kit by interfacing the sensors like temperature for air temperature measurement, pressure for altitude from sea level to estimate the ground water, humidity for water content in air, hall sensor for wind speed, soil moisture for soil wetness, Light senor for available Sun light intensity, pH meter for soil and water pH value. The digital sensors are interfaced to the MAX32660 Evaluation Kit using I2C, SPI and the data can be visualized on the I2C based LCD display. ESP3266 WiFi module is also interfaced to connect for IoT cloud service for data storing and future analysis. As the device is having low power utility along with low power sensors, designed device need a power source to maintain it for long running. MAX17222 Evaluation Kit can be used to power the low power IoT handheld device due its flexible voltage rating and its silent features. At present there are handheld devices but their power ratings are not fit to the other modules, MAX evaluation kits power rating are flexible to design an advanced and Smart Agriculture monitoring IoT portable handheld device and the status can be recorded in cloud and display on the LCD screen. This device can be useful for horticultures, Aqua farms, Vertical Gardening, Parks, Birds Sanctuary, Zoological parks and meteorologist in their respective fields as a common device. In my opinion this evaluation kits are best choose of my project on monitoring the environmental conditions in real-time and remotely.

An infant incubator is common equipment to pediatric hospitals, birthing centers and neonatal intensive care units. The death caused due to pre-matured births can be controlled by placing them in a proper incubator and the status should be monitored time-to-time. Air temperature, humidity, UV light, baby temperature, heart beat and oxygen flow rate are the measurement to be done to know the status of baby health conditions. At an emergency the newborn baby is to be carried to the nearby multi-specialty hospitals during their carry it is better to have portable incubator so that it is easy to carry and faster. The data can be useful to the doctors to take necessary action. To make all this we need special feature devices by controlling/monitoring remotely. The infant incubator can be monitor remotely once if we design the incubator with wireless device using MAX32660 Evaluation Kit, ESP8266 WiFi chip and necessary sensors. The Max development kit has GPIO pins to interface the MEMS digital sensors like Temp & Hum, Button, Buzzer, UV light, Heart Rate, Oximeter and LCD can be interfaced to MAX32660 Evaluation Kit via I2C, SPI protocol buses. The API design and connected to IoT cloud services can be useful to view the real-time data of baby in mobile app and can take necessary action. Infant incubator can be a portable device with the portable sensors, modules and battery management devices, MAX17222 Evaluation Kit can be used to power the device. MAX17222 Evaluation Kit has silent features to run the device at low power rating for long time run. The portable handheld devices need such type of evaluation kits to design the advanced low power devices. And also the designed incubator can be portable to carry the baby in our lap and hands. In my opinion this device can serve the people at an emergency and can help in saving baby life. In my earlier app which I was created with cayenne, Blynk for temperature measurement of room with Arduino UNO is working successfully which made me more anxious to work for care taking devices which can save life. I can work for this project because I have Hands-on experience with the app designing and programming the MCUs for IoT Smart homes, Medical wearable device and Industrial environment wireless monitoring.

I would use the board for a home-made medical center. Checks the pulse, the reaction time, the blood-sugar level and other easy-to-check aspects of a person.

I would use this low power microcontroller to design a very low power IOT device such as an environment data collection system. With this power savings capability, you could run these on batteries for long periods of time, which is really desirable to alot of people.

I would use these devices to process bodily function information via optical, chemical and temeprature sensors to record and analyse various bio markers in an effort to help control diabetes for sufferers. Sensors would detect heart rate, blood pressure, sweat and breath chemistry to ascertain blood sugar levels and the rate of change and compare it with current exertion and stress hormone markers to allow patients to understand the impact of their daily routines in the control of their diabetes.

This is best used for remotely deployed sensor node in conjunction with a RF freq. Energy harvester or Tiny solar panel. Having a power consumption that low the sensor node can last forever..

With the evaluation kit and 3D printer I will be developing a wearable health monitor for mHealth applications in 3rd world countries.

With access to a smart phone (which many currently have) more people could have access to more affordable and reliable healthcare.

Thank you.

Light weight parts to reduce drag on motors

With regards to the printer, my utmost enthusiasm has had it lying in an idea to which I have tried to explain to many… I call this idea the self-analysing, self-producing machine. Hypothetically talking, or even realistically in a year (or a few) my scope would be to print an object using a 3D printer, using algorithms in another 3D printer to analyse the previous printers finished product and determine weak-points of the product whilst then instructing the next printer how to replicate the product with potential weak-points resolved. This process then repeats itself repetitively down the line of printers, although you may ask how long for, surely connecting a minimum of 2-3 printers in a closed-loop arrangement would give a so called ‘infinite’ loop. How far does the analysing and self-production occur before something is produced never seen before? As for the evaluation boards, I enjoy using them to learn from myself and trying to get other students interested in electronics.

I would like to use these as a prototype for an input device that can be paired with personal computing or mobile device. It can be inserted into gloves where gestures can be used to manipulate an augmented reality environment for a design workshop or scientific lab. This can facilitate a more intuitive input that can enable easier work environment for various fields. Such a device can easily be scaled for embedded system, mobile devices, and workstations. This application can offer improved productivity tools and collaboration across different industries like engineering, construction, and product development.

A design that I want to bring into fruition is a group of micro robots that can understand their position relative to other micro robots and the ground. They then can use this information using a neural network update their location to form the pattern of a specified object or shape. I have develop and test some of the ideas of it will work but to test it, I need to be able to print the part and obtain the material needed to build it. As a college student, I don’t have the resources need to build my idea. If given the chance to my hand on some of those materials, it would be a great help. I appreciate your consideration.

I will use these boards to develop a wearable system monitoring the condition of epileptic patients but also other conditions such as diabetes, hypoglycemia or just sleep monitoring.

Really useful low cost IoT devices or wearables, where they can be placed and forgotten about for long periods of times. Perhaps medical monitoring devices integrated into watch straps or into prosthetics. Things like automatic hob devices to prevent fires or tank level monitors with water quality reporting.

My goal is to extend the capabilities of 3D printers into the realm of producing programmable, networked devices, including automated electrical assembly from prefabricated components, all within the 3D printer. Researchers have already made the first steps, printing temperature sensors and WiFi-enabled flowmeters, and I successfully printed one of the open-source printable DC motor designs. Thanks to technologies like solar picocells, supercapacitors and conductive filament, it would be possible to go a step further and create small modules with programmable microcontrollers powered by a lifetime battery, connected to input and output modules placed on small PCBs and fed into the printer on tapes or trays, just like it is done in SMT electronic assembly. Creating a universal 3D printer toolhead that includes a solder paste dispenser and a vacuum gripper for components is actually pretty easy. With MAX32660 and MAX17222 serving as the heart and brain of the programmable modules, one could easily use a coin cell, a tiny Li-Po cell or one of those cutting-edge lithium-ceramic ultra-thin batteries. With very low power consumption of the Maxim modules, that battery would not have to be replaced or charged during the devices’ lifetime.

I want to develop a low-power dog collar with a GSM and GPS connection, but very low power consumption. I want to achieve this by keeping the collar’s electronics idle during everyday operation, simply counting time. If the dog’s owner presses a button/touches an NFC tag to the collar, the counting is restarted, as we know the animal is at home and tracking is not required. Only after an abnormally high time out of touch with its humans, would the dog’s collar go on alert and start transmitting its GPS position via GSM to a web service. Using the components from the giveaway would make it possible to run on a small Lithium ion battery in the idle state for a very long time, with conveniently few recharges. It would also be a voice in the debate on gadgets and privacy, as the connectivity features would only be used in emergency, and never in regular operation, with no risk of tracking the user’s behavior patterns or similar.

I had a design that I roughed out in school that basically was a 3D printed pallette with magnets embedded right under the shell, and with velcro straps that attach to your thigh or offhand, with these little pieces that zip tied onto the end of your drafting tools. Cuz I kept losing my 0.03 pencil every time I went for my eraser.

That 3D printer would be just what I need for making drone parts.

That means at school, my wristband would light up and pulse one specific color when a friend comes close to me, and his one would light up too in the same color. As we get closer, the pulse would get faster and faster, like an increasing heartbeat when you get close to your friends and family. Like that, each friend would trigger a different color.

Great stuff you have here btw. Would be great used for intelligent solar powered solar tracking devices at remote locations to maximize passive solar water collection.

As a Electronics Engineeer based on this board i will be building small tiny efficient flybots which is fitted with small quad rotor and other sensors (like gas sensor,gyro,etc..) to monitor hazardous chemical substances and other parameters. As this product proves to be fit for my project because of small dimension and low (300nA Quiescent Supply Current ) which substantially reduces power consumption due to its high efficiency (95% Peak Efficiency).And the size lithium ion battery which i am planning to use will have small size which finally makes it ideal for flying application.

Thank You

As a electronics engineer i will build a small efficient flybot that can fit into our palm and it will be used to
monitor the hazardous chemical substance.It is fitted with small quad rotor and other sensors(like gas sensor,gyro,etc)
As this module has very small dimension and less power consumption(300nA Quiescent Supply Current) This product will ideally fit
for me and everyone who are trying to build smiliar kind of this.With high efficiency (95% Peak Efficiency) and wide voltgae range selection of dc-dc converter
makes the idea substantially a great one.Due to less in weight ans small in dimension this makes the product really small and
easier to fly!!!

I’m thinking about creating some kind of heart rate monitor for infants so it would possible to detect if their heart rate is dropping doing sleep. They can role over in bed and suffocate. I know you can buy bed sheets with this kind of tech, but I found them very unreliable so I have a different kind of setup in mind

Wearable vital signs monitor built into military combat wear to aid treatment of injuries by non medics or that would transmit this information to remite medical post so instructions could be given. Sensors for physiological parameters could be implanted subcutaneously and the soldier needs only to plug himself into his combat wear. The whole external unit could be protected by 3D printable protective case made of highly resistant lightweight material. Running repairs of damaged equipment could be accomplished by installing 3D printer at bases in the field.

I teach principles of manufacturing machineing 1-2 I would use this for all kind of different things. But first I would make a device to load programs into our older cnc useing a flash drive and get rid of the rs232 cable. We could also really use the printer additive manufacturing is part of are state standards. Unfortunately my class doesn’t have a printer that works so I have to bring in my personal one when we

I would love to challenge my students to design wearables that might tackle health issues such as low blood sugar, seizure detection, movement tracker, or high blood pressure. I think that there is value in encouraging young minds to think. With the correct tools and a 3D printer, their world along with my guidance could be changed forever, all while they change others lives forever!

Recently I am working on project to convert my whole apartment into smart home using arduino, rasberry pi,alexa, google home mini and other IoT add ons. These is going to be one of the most challenging and fun project to me. And I think this kit could help me get most of my device control.

Voice/light sensor activated room lights for people with mobility issues

An incentive spirometer is a medical device used to help patients improve the functioning of their lungs.

Currently available incentive spirometers used widely in hospitals have several limitations. Some of them are as follows :
• No mechanism to remind users to use the device
• No scope for recording or tracking the changes in respiratory volume
• Lack of motivation for patients to use the device due to insufficient feedback
• Doctors have no way of confirming adequate usage by the patients

I’m trying to gamify the process of using an incentive spirometer. The more the device is used, the higher the score. The scores or stats can be viewed on the user’s phone or can even be indicated on a small display attached to the device. Doctors, will then be able to accurately and reliably see the daily progress made by the patient.
The evaluation kit will help me to design the system and I’ll be able to print a custom enclosure using the 3D printer.

I build and tinker with raspberry pi. I would use the printer to design and make custom parts for drones and robots. As well as designing and making custom dice sets for gaming

Curently, I am working on automating the manual processes in my Fish Farm. I intent to use Rasberry PI via IOT to completely automate my Fish farm. However my goal is is to develop and implement a Smart Fish farming.

Many manufacturers today are working to reduce their carbon footprint and increase their overall efficiency through the Industry 4.0 initiative. This has led to an exponential increase in monitoring parts of the manufacturing process that are not possible using the existing infrastructure. To be able to monitor and measure these processes, I have been creating battery powered mobile devices that can either monitor the existing signals or perform parallel measurement. Due to in the growth in the IIoT space, I am always on the look out for devices that can extend the applications usable life of the device. I would like to see how these devices can help me reach that goal.

A small wearable medical device designed to monitor vitals of those with significant medical issues whether physical or mental or both.  It would include a passive GPS and a cellular module and wifi card, the device could activate the GPS and cell module to contact first responders if the wearer’s vitals go beyond a preset range as directed by a doctor and it would call emergency services with the wearer’s vitals and the location from the GPS card.  The wifi card can be activated to listen for a locator signal from first responders and then turn on the cell card for triangulation or instead emit a loud chime and an led strobe light to locate the wearer if they are lost in an off the path location.  Ideally, this device would be worn by those who suffer from dementia and Alzheimers, the mentally impaired and autistic children who are prone to wandering off.  A long life battery pack can be used along with a Seebeck generator on a small scale that would generate current from the body heat of the wearer or use MIT’s MEMS generator to maintain a charge on the battery.

Nanotechnology that can construct buildings, walls, roads, consumer products, etc, on a miniature scale for prototype testing.

As a maker who always looks for new projects, I hope to use these kits to experiment with some projects involving lighting and maybe circuit bending with local DJs. A 3D printer would be great to help me fabricate craft items.

I would create with a MAX17222 + MAX32660 evaluation kit a portable datalogger for monitoring air quality and environmental (levels of CO, CO2, temperature, humidity, etc.) in a custom 3D box.

I would like to create a computer that can plug into other devices and discover their capabilities.

I am designing a curriculum for homeschoolers.  The printer would be great in designing items for hands on learning.

My 8 year old, already striving to be an engineer, would be the one to put all this to work. He says he will most likely build a robot of sorts to start with, using the 3d printer to make the parts. He wants to make everyday tasks a little easier for people. After that he says he will go from there, options are endless!

Working on a wearable deice that helps workers identify the location of others in an environment for safety reasons.  By using vibration, visible signals and audio signals when workers are close to one another.  For example, a fork-lift operator may not know that a hearing impaired person is just around the corner.  The devices worn by each worker would notify the workers of their proximity helping to avoid an accident.

Expansion parts or at least make your product able to be added too. I see your printer and I love it, but immediately I want to make it bigger, once I got it home I’d be taking it apart and trying to expand its boundaries to make bigger products.

Designing custom antenna parts for various ham radio projects. I also have a friend who makes robots for steampunk projects, bet he’d want to make parts for that too.

Equalizer for external amp for hearing impaired.

“Star Trek” style hand-held bio-medical evaluation tool. NOT non-contact, but it would use “artificial” “nose” - to smell what may be wrong with a patient, and “tongue” to test for surface contamination. Results would be integrated with a new - or existing medical patch or heart condition monitor. Example: Smart bracelets would even call 911 if a cardiac event was detected.

I used to be a Tax Accountant but got into DIY Electronics and figured I would get a job at a national “Makerspace” called TechShop in San Francisco. I loved working there, however they went BANKRUPT WHILE I WAS THERE. So I’m appealing to your Kind heart to help me fulfill my initial dream of using a 3D Printer to create Artwork that I can cheaply make and place randomly around the city of San Francisco. I was also thinking of creating little puzzles out of Blocks and scavenger hunts with the pieces. But we will see!

I would use this in my building of animatronics for my haunted attraction.

Since im a student and new to electronics if i win this i am most definitely going to tinker with it. Looking at schematics online and figuring it out step by step. With this I can take it to build some side projects.

My idea is a mobile device charger that uses environment, kinetic energy and solar as it’s sources. they all could combine as a current source with varying low voltages voltages use little moving coils to generate voltage, pick up and use RF, little solar panel. Kind of like a self winding watch, or even use that technology. A charger bank that never needs to be plugged in.

A simple yet truthful answer. What wouldn’t I do with this?!

I am designing more than one system but the two that would involve the 3-D Printer and these two exciting boards would fit into are 1. A wearable for motorcycle riders that would wirelessly connect to the bike and a jacket that would have a large led display on the back panel of the jacket to show the brake lights, turn signals, and emergency braking lights which flash, as well as a softer illuminated custom programmable club name or riders name, possibly even a scene or logo that would make the motorcycle and the rider more visible and more safe on the roads. 2. A wireless controller and laptop connection for a low cost, home produced kit CNC Router, Laser, Plasma, and drawing machine. This would allow more people to enjoy and experiment with making new products, ideas, and equipment right from home inexpensively.

I’m trying to create a circuit that operate on low power, designing a pcb in small quantity costs very much, and also the cost of casing is high too. Using a 3d printer i can design my own pcb board as well as casing.

I intend doing a warable blood sugar monitor using a bio sensor.
Now i am looking for the best, accurate and non invasive CGM sensor, and need to have a support for data transmission from it.

I live in a small town in MO. of 14,500. If I won the grand prize. I would donate it to our college (OTC), where I have currently attended for the past 4 years for the company I work for. We have an instructor at this college that teaches a lot of different classes for industry, including electricity, PLC, Motors and controls, fluid power, mechanical power, and robotics. I have taken his robotics class and have been certified in FANUC Robotics. I feel that the nanoPower products along with a Prusa 3D printer would be a great addition to his robotics 1 or robotics 2 classes or a class of it’s own and would be a great learning tool for students getting into this industry. Thank you for your consideration.

I’m not giving away my ideas publicly and that is precisely why i will not tell anything here.peace.

Few days ago I got a MAX32660 Evaluation system and yesterday I start testing it for the first time using keil ARM MDK and OMG there is lots of help, detailed documentation and builtin examples to use almost every possible peripherals and power mode in ARM PACK for this board. I very happy that i have it especially the select-able 1.8Volt/3.3Volt vdd feature is the best to make ultra power efficient. One thing that I really miss is builtin ADC nevertheless its awesome tiny board with lots of tiny components.

Models of the integrated IC basic library components like planar and finFet transistors and basic logic gates. Being able to detach in a lego fashion the substrate from the doped blocs and up to metal layers.  Would be good teaching material for students.

I really care about nature and the environment, I think that they are the most important things which concerns all of us.
I think these can be used for controlling environment parameters and share them on internet.
Also it’s possible use 3D printed mechanical part that can transform any type of movement in electrical current and power the sensors. Using a 3d printer have many advantages, like easy replace of broken part and design the part basing on the sensors surrounding area caratteristics.

Did anyone win?
