The January theme is Data Conversion and it was inspired by a suggestion from neuromodulator. Your projects can explore either A-D or D-A techniques, or improve them in terms of increasing speed, resolution, linearity, reduction of noise or filtering of the analog signal. Analog electronics and precision measurement are important for ADC and DACs. element14 Essentials: Analog Electronics 1 gives a good primer on this topic and it covers key parameters, characteristics, and applications of precision measurement analog ICs, including ADCs, DACs, voltage references, op-amps, audio amplifiers, and current sense amplifiers. .
Some examples of projects shabaz came up with include data acquisition and charting (Brewing beer with Raspberry Pi) ; seismology (TI LDC1000 Evaluation Module ) ; switched capacitor, and sample and hold based circuitsswitched capacitor, and sample and hold based circuits; detecting sounds (Vibration Sensor and Exercising - Calculating FFT on Nucleo Board - Blog #3 ); signal generation (Building A Direct Digital Synthesis Dual-Channel Signal Generator ); medical sensing (MagicHat - 6 - Heart beat detection ); power monitoring (Turn your Avnet Azure Sphere Starter Kit into a Power Meter / Data Logger ), software defined radio (Software Defined Radio (SDR) - My First Design ), and distance learning (Virtual Eye System -- Post#4 -- Programming the Pi to get the distance ). Projects can involve ADCs or DACs, or analog data could be sampled or filtered or converted to a different domain, signals could be extracted or synthesized, speech processing, instrumentation, SDR and so on.

The fourth annual Holiday Special 20 is an open-ended holiday project competition that challenges you to make a project that reflects what the holidays mean to you. 2020 has been a sobering year for most, we are hoping this year's holiday project competition brings a familiar sense of joy and normality to the holiday season, and that technology can help bridge the distance between friends and family, during a time of the year that has become synonymous with gathering around friends and family.
So, we’re asking members to spread mirth and merry to the world through projects that use music, LED Displays, Nixie Pixels, Strobe Lights, Fog Machines, or anything else that puts you into a celebratory mood. If the past year has put you in a reflective mood, your project can be a thoughtful project with others in mind, such as a project inspired by gifts, food, or cards exchanged during the holidays. Or you could focus on electronic ways of sending the warmest wishes to friends and family, such as an electronic greetings card, a way to automatically email or use RF transmission to link up via video etc. It can also be a fun project that's made in the holiday spirit such as a snow globe that will warn you of inclement weather conditions, voice-activated ornaments, jazzed up holiday cards, LED decorations - anything that means the holidays to you. Your project can be related to Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or Festivus for the rest of us related! It can even be a Star Wars project, if you only believe in the Force. The only thing that we ask is that your holiday project shows heart!
The project that shows the most heart wins a tool kit (~ $500 value) that includes a handheld oscilloscope, a usb soldering iron, a bench power supply, wire strippers, along with a $400 shopping cart plus a $100 gift to give to another member for their project. Three first place winners will receive will receive a tool kit bundle (~value of $300 value) along with a $200 shopping cart and a $100 shopping cart to give to another member for their projects. All Gift to Gives can be given to any member’s that the winners think are deserving but did not win.
