Have a Cool Project?

If you are working on a project, people (like us!) want to know!

You might notice this banner floating at the top of the SparkFun website now. If you are one of the people who got Free Day gear, we are very curious about what projects you are planning. Feel free to click on the banner and let us know what you are up to!

Speaking of project calls, Tom's Hardware is writing about the projects that SparkFun customers are creating, and they need your help! If you have a project you're working on that you'd like to be featured on Tom's Hardware, submit it to them! Here are the guidelines (from writer Paul Escallier's forum post):

        1) The project has to be your original idea, or you need permission from the owner of the                 idea.
        2) It has to be a completed project, or a functional work in progress.
        3) It must be well documented (ideally with a dedicated blog page or the like). Photos are a         must.
        4) Try to keep it more recent than 6 months (more of a guideline than a rule). 

To submit a project, send an email to sparkfun at quantumrand.net with "Sparkfun Project" as the subject and the following information:

        1) Name (full name or name you'd like credited)
        2) Project Name
        3) Project Description
        4) Link to your project's page



Last, we have a couple videos. The first is a Free Day recap of what it was like behind the scenes in the SparkFun offices on January 7th.



The second video is a tutorial video guiding you through putting together the Simon Through-Hole Kit. We'd love some feedback about this video, as we plan on doing more of these in the future and want to make them as helpful as possible!

Happy Friday everyone - cheers!
