microOBD 200 is a small DIP-24 module that can be used to connect to the 
on-board diagnostics system of any modern vehicle.

Our company is offering you a chance to become familiar with OBD, achieve 
fame and glory, and win up to USD3000.

The rules are simple: all you need to do, is write an article about a 
project that uses the microOBD 200, and get it published in a major 
electronics or hobby magazine[1]. The project can be any device that gets 
information from the vehicle: scan tool, digital gauge, data logger, trip 
computer, tire pressure monitor, black box, cell phone disabler, remote 
vehicle health monitor, or anything else your creative mind can come up 
with.

The top prize ($3000) will go to the first person who gets the article 
published. The breakdown is as follows:

1st:    $3000
2nd:   $2000
3rd, 4th, etc:    $1000

To qualify, you would need to email us a scanned copy or a digital photo of 
the actual article. The order will be determined based on the timestamp of 
the email message.

You will retain all the rights to your project, and keep the honorarium.

You can find the documentation and reference schematics on the product's 
page. The module is currently on backorder, we expect to receive the next 
batch within the next 2-3 weeks. We also designed a development board for 
it, if you think you may need one please email me off-list 
(vitaliy@scantool.net) so we know approximately how many PCBs to order.

Your thoughts and questions are welcome.

Best regards,
