Here's your chance to win $5,000! The
Lantronix wireless design contest, sponsored by, you guessed it,
Lantronix, the makers of
our favorite really small webserver. The goal is to "Wirelessly network-enable your machine or device with a Lantronix WiPort™ ... and you could win $5,000."
They're also giving the first 50 registered contestants 50% of their
WiPort dev kit. Contestants are also entered into a monthly drawing -
this month the prize is a PSP.
The
WiPort offers serial to 802.11b, TCP/IP stack, web interface, 11 GPIO pins, dual serial ports, and 128bit WEP. The
development kit goes for $299 on Mouser. The WiPort by itself
retails at $119 for single quantities. The XPort (the wired version)
goes for $49.
Not bad at all. So, get out there and web-enable your robot. Maybe
you'll win $5,000. Just be sure to let us know about it when it happens!
