Personally I think it's a great idea, benefitting designers, punters and
the board house.

The designer benefits from 'exposure' i.e. people see what he/she can do

The board house benefits from publicity and orders of the design

The punter (joe bloggs) gets to order pcbs at a reasonable price (I'll
assume Olimex will do a run of each design to keep costs down)

Here are some suggestions of things that would be useful - I'll do some
my self when I get chance. These are all simple designs, like those that
get published here regularly, and will easily fit the requirements


- An I2C to serial interface type board. This can help joe on the street
debug I2C projects

- Similar for SPI and microwire type interfaces

- Various PIC programmers and things

- An Analog to digital to micro to analog board. There are more and more
questions hitting the list about dsp related stuff, and with a fast PIC
on board, and some of the cunning math algorithms at www.piclist.com
some simple filters can be experimented with.

- And many many more.

Well Done James, Keep up the Good work.


No pun intended eh Olin?
