Circuit Cellar Launches 2010 Design Contest
The iMCU Design Contest 2010 is the second contest WIZnet has co-sponsored with Circuit Cellar. The iEthernet Design contest held in 2007 introduced the W5100 hardwired TCP/IP Ethernet controller to the design community. The W5100 allowed designers to finally bring Ethernet capability to their existing embedded projects.
The 2010 design contest requires the use of Wiznet’s W7100 as part of an embedded project. The W7100 is an Internet microcontroller integrating a hardwired TCP/IP core with an 8051 processor. The new W7100 chip provides a platform for applications that need a network connection, and its MCU capabilities help engineers create sophisticated Internet-enabled projects.
Circuit Cellar is a print magazine about hands-on embedded systems projects, so every iMCU Design Contest entrant is viewed as a potential author. Many of the participants with the best entries may become Circuit Cellar authors, project evaluators or advisors, which is quite a resume booster opportunity.
Contest judges will look at a wide range of criteria when selecting the winning projects, including originality, technical merit, usefulness, cost-effectiveness and design optimization. The deadline for project submission is June 30, 2010. For more information visit www.circuitcellar.com/iMCU.
