All prizes not claimed within 6 months will be put back into the prize pool. Please note that some items may require payment of customs charges when they arrive in destination countries.

Also, note that if something has a battery in it, it pretty much always means stress with sending them. These rules seem arbitrary and subject to constant change, so where possible, we'll ship things without the batteries and let you find one locally.

Electromaker contests are separate from the Electromaker store (I literally go to the post office to send prizes) so beyond giving tracking details there isn't a lot we can do if something goes missing.

I will use the firebeetle 2 board for a smart helmet which calls and alert the family members if any emergency occurs, with its esp32 wifi connectivity with the mobile phone for the user for my university project. #firebeetle2

I'd build an aquaponic system which could measure EC levels and dispense nutrients with peristaltic pumps. #firebeetle2

[SlinkyD]

not subscribed but I'd use the #firebeetle2 to replace my house thermostat. Every brand I try randomly dumps attic air when the system is supposed to be off. Every electrician & HVAC tech I tried don't know what to do to stop it.

I would like to use #firebeetle2 with a Nixie Tube clock that is integrated with Home Assistant to turn it on/off to save the tubes.

The ESP32 is one of my favorite processors. I would use the #firebeetle2 to make a gas sensor with a local GDI display. I was surprised to discover that there is also a version of the firebeetle2 that has a DVP camera interface in addition to the display port. That would be a great kit to make a handheld AI camera.

I would use a #firebeetle2 to make a sensor to let me know when the chemicals in my hot tub are not correct.

I want to use the #firebeetle2 to create a smart toy that makes sounds and you can interact with it remotely

[Embeded_Geek]

I would like to use #firebeetle2 as a Matter based Smart water Tap that will check water quality and possibly use the force of water to harvest energy.

I love the idea of the Arduino Light Lock. Imagine if you could have that as a wider authentication method for PCs, for example.

I would use the #firebeetle2 to key my transmitter and send Morse code. A laptop would feed it with characters via Bluetooth as it's useful to make sure bits of equipment are not connected by cables because they can pick up the RF signals and cause trouble. The micro then converts characters into on-off pulses. HNY, BTW!

Happy New YEar Ian and team @Electromaker

[strunker]

I would use #firebeetle2 to create a multi sensor device but need it for detecting water leaks. Had a leak here recently and want to make a detection device.

[GreggHigham]

I want to do a remote solar powered weather sensor suite. #firebeetle2

Hello Ian, how may I claim the prize for the blues starter kit?
