    Default BigPIC4 Dev Board Giveaway

    I have one of these that is no longer needed and want to give it away, just pay USPS Priority Mail shipping - USA addresses only. It is in working order and includes an on-board programmer (with ICD). The processor is an 80-pin PIC18F8520. The LCD and GLCD are not included. Any suggestions on the best way to do this?

    How about for a good article posted on our wiki? In the event of more than one article .... the best one, as judged by moderators, or users, wins?

    That could work. Would you be prepared to administer it?

    Thumbs up

    Sounds like a good idea! School project alike contest.

    Project noted on the quality not on it's complexity. Doesn't need to be complex but more exciting than a simple Led Flasher or Showing an ADC reading on a LCD. MUST be fully documented (Schematic, code, explanations, etc)

    Jugement could be done with a poll thread, so users just click on the one they prefer... Easy to manage, allow says 24-48 hours to vote, anonymous, and judged by the whole community... On the Other hand, final decision could be taken by rmteo... as he's the guy who giveaway that nice board...

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Sure, you guys decide how to run it. When you have selected a winner, just let me know where to send it.
