Overview

We love Arduino and we love contests, so let's have an Arduino Contest! We've teamed up with the cool folks at CuteDigi to sponsor a most amazing Arduino Contest where anything and everything awesome that's made with the help of an Arduino-compatible device can be entered. We'll be giving out lots and lots of Arduino-related prizes.

CuteDigi sells lots of DIY gadgets like the Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and the pcDuino, a mini-PC whose headers are compatible with Arduino. This is a new and powerful tool and as a special bonus the first 50 entrants into the contest will receive a pcDuino. So just post any new Arduino-related Instructable and you can be trying out the pcDuino for yourself.

To make it a little more interesting, we have TWO Grand Prizes. One for any Arduino project and the other is for using an Arduino with a mini-PC such as a Raspberry Pi or the pcDuino.

So what are you waiting for? Grab an Arduino-compatible device and get going! Make those LEDs flash, turn those servos, read the inputs, and be sure to document it all very well to win an awesome prize! We can't wait to see what it is.
