Philips design contest
2004-03-29 by golssa
Philips is laying off loads of engineers in Sunnyvale where a lot of the LPC210x team is situated. $1000 for an application note (that is, only IF you win, and then only up to a total of 20 winners) is a lot cheaper for them than having to pay someone in Sunnyvale for a week or two to write an app note (the total of $20K Philips is willing to pay for the contest would be about the total expense of a single engineer in Sunnyvale for about 1.5 months or so). I for one am missing all of the good app notes and software that we are used to from the Philips 8051 teams. Hope many people send in ideas to Philips to benefit all of us, although Philips doesen't seem to have the money to hire people to develop these app-notes themselves anymore... To help this situation, I will try to continue to post software in this forum, and hope others will do the same.
