Today we announce the winner of the OpenPicus WIFI development board. There were lots of creative project ideas, thanks for your submissions.
Congratulations to Tom, his idea for WIFI-controlled theater props scored him the OpenPicus starter kit:
I build custom lighting, props and scenic effects for the theatre.As these things are very mobile on the stage, it’s a real challenge getting control signals to them.This looks like a neat solution for controlling these complex props via DMX, over ArtNet, over WiFi – all of which are common in our theatrical environments.While the IDE will speed development, since I’m already a PIC user, I look forward to some lower level hacking too!
Thanks to OpenPicus for the freebie.
Every time we get a press release we ask for free stuff to give you, we’ll try to have a giveaway at least every-other week.

Congrats Tom
Congratulations! :-)
Yes, congrats. And come back here to show off your DMX512 designs, Tom!
Thanks everyone! The kit arrived today, so I shall start tinkering later – will let you all know how I get on.
