All non hackaday people can ignore this post I just am putting this up so they can easily find all the requirements for the best product contest.
Entry Round (Stage 1).Complete the following steps
i.Personal Profile. Create a personal profile on hackaday.io, completing all required fields and following all instructions (required of each Participant, including each member of a team).
- Obviously if this project exists this happened
ii.Project Profile. Create a project profile on hackaday.io, completing all required fields and following all instructions (“Project Profile”). Tag the Project Profile with: HackadayPrize.
- Obviously if this project exists this happened
iii.On the Project Profile:
a)Discuss the problem which has been chosen as the subject of the project
- In the details section
b)Discuss how this project will work to alleviate or solve the problem
- In the details section
c)Publish at least one (1) image to help illustrate how the project might be used. This may be a sketch, schematic, flow chart, rendering, or other type of image.
- Third image in the gallery
Quarterfinals (Stage 2). By 1:50 p.m. P.D.T. on August 17, 2015, complete the following steps:
i.Complete all Stage One requirements
- See above
ii.Video. Create a video, no more than two (2) minutes in length, that shows the prototype in progress (i.e., what works, what does not work, what the Participant wants to improve). The video does not need to be “studio quality.” Upload the video to YouTube or Youku and tag the video with the keywords: HackadayPrize, quarterfinals.
iii.Project Profile. On the Project Profile:
a)Link to the video
- See external links section on project page
b)Update and add detail to info entered at the Entry Round stage
- See project logs and details section (In details updated chip change and net change from r4 to r6)
c)Show at least four (4) Project Log updates
- Not including this log that's not really related I am up to 8
d)Link to any repositories (e.g., Github)
- See external links section, code, schematic, licensing, 3D models all in git repo.
e)Post a system design document, including a preliminary components list. The system design document should show what is working and what the Participant is building toward
- See external links, system design document was rather vague, should it be a picture of the system architecture, should it be everything. So I went all out and typed up a fairly detailed technical paper describing the system and testing done on it. More info to come soon to that I still want to describe the operation of the solar charge circuits and the quirks I experienced using it.
- Currently posted system design document does not contain component list I'll get right on that but remember its all on the project page!
- UPDATE: Design Document has parts list!
f)Document all open-source licenses and permissions as well as any applicable third-party licenses/restrictions
- The UNLICENSE, mentioned in details section as well as being in root of git REPO. Do what you want with it.
Semifinals (Stage 3). By 1:50 p.m. P.D.T. on September 21, 2015, complete the following steps:
i.Video. Create a video, no more than five (5) minutes in length, that shows a near complete prototype (i.e., what works, what does not work, what the Participant wants to improve). The video should describe the problem it is solving and demonstrate how it facilitates the solution. The video does not need to be “studio quality.” Upload the video to YouTube or Youku and tag the video with the keywords: HackadayPrize, semifinals.
- Yes I know its the same prototype as the quarter finals but they are due the same day for best product so what do you expect!
- I would have done a video on the r4 or r5 for quarter finals but I was to busy getting it working so I could mail some prototypes. Haven't spent a free moment doing anything but this project in 3 weeks!
ii.Project Profile. On the Project Profile:
a)Link to the new video
- See external links section and this post
b)Update and add detail to info entered at the previous stages
- Same as quarter finals, project logs and details section
c)Show at least eight (8) Project Log updates
- Not including this unrelated log there are 8, including this one 9! Yay counting!
d)Post a near-complete (at least 90%) components list
- Still need to update this for r6 but its definetly atleast 90%
- UPDATE: Its fixed, only thing missing is the 3D printed case and the wires to connect the battery and solar cell
- Also its in the project links
- Also its in the git repo: https://github.com/DrYerzinia/Cat-Finder/blob/master/schem/boards/BLE/BOM.ods
e)Post videos of your prototype in action
- These are of it in action how it should be used
- If you define action as it "Just Operating" lots of the videos show it beeping, or charging the battery from solar power! But the cases above are the best examples. Yea its more watching paint dry than action if you want a video of it charging from the sun.
f)Post an artist’s rendition of the “productized” design/look and feel of the project
- See picture 5 in the gallery, made it in inkscape, took me like an hour. Drawing is hard, harder than making complex high impedence solar charging circuits that if you get a little contamination on them suddenly start oscillating, then you reflow it and it works, but then you check it the next day and wtf its back how it was. But then you look closer and its fine. Yea, drawing's still harder.
Best Product. By 1:50 p.m. P.D.T. on August 17, 2015, complete the following steps:
i.Complete all Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3 requirements.
- See above
ii.Use the “Submit-to” button on the Project Profile to Opt-In for the Best Product prize competition
- Clicked that a while ago
iii.Three (3) working beta test units must arrive at Sponsor's shipping address by this cutoff date. Units should be shipped to the following address; two of the units will be returned at the end of the Contest.
- Send Friday morning EXPRESS! ZOOM!
- They were there yesterday but obviously no one was home, expect delivery tomorrow around 10:30AM.
