PCBway recently announced the winners of its 5th PCB DesignContest, which received an overwhelming response with over 350 entries from participants worldwide. This is the highest number of submissions in the history of the contest, showcasing the growing interest in PCB design and its potential applications in various industries.
The contest was held in September 2022, and participants
were required to submit their projects, which were then evaluated by a panel of
judges based on their quality and content. The competition was fierce, with
numerous outstanding submissions, making the selection of the winning entries a
challenging task for the jury.
After much deliberation, the winners were finally chosen based on a thorough evaluation of the project's quality and content. The first prize was awarded to MiguelAsd for creating "An introduction to quadrupedrobot models," which won him $1500 cash, a $200 coupon, and a Raspberry Pi 4G. The project provided an overview of quadruped robots, their various designs, and the software and hardware required to build them.

The winning projects in the 5th PCB Design Contest
demonstrate the wide range of applications of PCB design. For instance,
MiguelAsd's project on quadruped robot models highlights the potential of PCB
design in the field of robotics. The project provides an overview of the
different designs of quadruped robots and the software and hardware required to
build them.
Positionhigh's project on MicroDexed-Touch demonstrates the
potential of PCB design in the field of music technology. The portable FM
synthesizer based on the Dexed software is a compact and versatile device that
can be used in various musical contexts
The third prize was awarded to three winners who impressed
the judges with their innovative projects. StanleyProjects won third prize for
their LaserProjector V2, which is a laser-based projector that can create
stunning images on any surface. The project is an upgrade from their previous
version and boasts of improved features such as better laser control and focus,
better scanning, and a more compact design.
Donners was another third-prize winner with their SPECTRUM
ANALYZER WITH STEAMPUNK NIXIE LOOK project. This project is a modern
interpretation of the traditional nixie tube, combined with steampunk elements
to create a visually striking design. The project is a fully functional spectrum
analyzer with a frequency range of 0 to 6 MHz, making it suitable for audio and
radio frequency spectrum analysis.
Sergio Ghirardelli won third prize with their Green Detect -
Wireless Sensor Network Platform project. This project is an eco-friendly
solution to environmental monitoring, enabling real-time monitoring of
temperature, humidity, and other environmental variables. The project uses
LoRaWAN technology to send data wirelessly to a central server, making it ideal
for remote locations.
All the winners of the 5th PCB Design Contest received cash prizes, coupons, and other prizes such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino Uno, and more. However, the real prize for all participants was the opportunity to showcase their innovative ideas to a global audience and receive feedback from industry experts.
