DUMB MODULE CONTEST

DUMB MODULE CONTEST

2007-08-29 by babysealclub

With all this talk of crazy complex modules (design wise) I thought
it would be interesting to see what dumb modules you could all think
of. So I though I'd start a contest.

Grand Prize: untest Phaser board from a dead Polysix.
First Place: Assortment of EFM PCBs/partial kits.
Second Prize: crappy old yamaha sound module.

Rules:
1. Entries should be a PDF or word document.
2. It would be great if everybody actually built something and sent
it in, but I realize this would prevent most from participating. So,
modules should be reality based and should theoretically work.
3. Entries should include description of module functions, proposed
front panel drawing, and (If possible) schematic (Knapkins OK).
4. Sound samples would be great, even if you have to hum them.

DEADLINE OCT 31

Please send them to my private email babysealclub@yahoo dot com

I'll compile all the entries into one document, and send them back to
everybody who entered for judging.

My motivation - cheap fun. If any of the rest of you are like me, my
interest far exceeds my finances. I enjoy reading the posts
everyday, and I think of you all as my friends. I think Larry would
have enjoyed this.

I haven't been following this mailing list, so maybe I'm missing out
on some reference, but with dumb, do you actually mean dumb as in
stupid, idiotic?
If so, I'll make the first entry by submitting an empty PCB.

Seriously though, what do you expect from the contest?

OK I'm In. :-)

I've had a really stupid idea for a module. I'm going to go and drink
lots of beer, in the hope that it gets even more dumb.
If I can get the parts, I might even build it.

S-diyers of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your
credibility!

Cheers (hic!)

Dave

I think You should post them here ( or somewhere online) for all of us to see, I'm "between Jobs" right now but I have a nice stockpile of parts & solder. I would love to see some of these modules.
