In this week's Fish Fry, I interview Matt Kurtz from Texas Instruments about TI's new SimpleLink family of products...what unique WiFi-enabled design are you looking to build with this new technology?

I've be delighted with the MAX V kit. I heard about the MAX V devices about a year ago, and I've been excited about it since.

Thanks for another shot at this one.

p.s. Who cares if FF is sponsored? I don't. Well, ok...I'm envious. Wish what I do could be sponsored! But who would sponsor a cubicle rat? Heck, I have to pay for the privilege to wear Brand G glasses, drive a Brand Z car, use a Brand A oscope, etc. And the whole time I'm advertizing for those companies for nothing! ;^)

p.p.s. Seriously, I don't mind the commercials to maintain the high production values on EEJournal & Fish Fry in particular. I'd much prefer to keep getting FF every week in my inbox than to lose it to the costs of online journalism. You've proven your ability to play fair between the various vendors already; this won't change that.

Hi Amelia, love your fish fry, love to have a Max V kit! Thanks.

I'd like to have such a cool kit , definitely.
If I could get the Max V kit, I'd use it to build a smart position controller in stochastic arithmetic. Thanks to its abundance of resources it would be possible to pack in a lot of features in it , normally absent in cots high power servo rc.

Wow! So I tuned in this week and found out I won last week cool.

I've even updated my avatar photo for this post, but I don't want to be entered again for the second drawing.

Thanks to Altera for giving away this dev kit, and thanks to Amelia for your Fish Fry's and Chalk Talks, I have been a fan forever.

Finally, thanks Amelia for pronouncing my last name correctly. As simple as it is, few people get it correct on the first try.

Cheers!

Nice, Although I am working with Altera devices for the last 5 years, I would still love to have a MAX kit of my own. Hopefully Amelia can give me one I guess

Looks like a nice board ;) would be nice to get!

Looks like a cool kit. I've got a couple of ideas for it.

I always enjoy the Fish Fry.

I would love to receive the super cool Altera Max V kit. 28nm darn that's small!!!

So I do not have any good avatar Pics, so what i uploaded is what attached on top of my shoulder.

Now because of that i can use the different development kits and develop cool projects. So because of that, I am very interested in MAX V CPLD development kit. So i can utilize my chip in head more, to work with Altera development board.

I would like that kit. The kid's still working through the C++0x0B and D+ standard libraries, so I have a little time before he takes the 1/8-pitch brazing gun and makes everything single-inheritance (or Hadoop templates.)

Nothing received.

I'm bummed because I won the board in the previous fish fry, on January 13th, but I've not received it yet, and there's not even any contact from Amelia or Altera via email.

Amelia, or anyone from Altera, are you still reading old posts?

Hi Brian,

Thank you for your post. Your name and address have been received by Altera and you should be getting your kit any day now!

Thanks again! Amelia
