Cast Your Vote in the 1st Annual ESP8266 Design Contest @ESP8266COM
The ESP8266 Community Forum website is conducting its 1st Annual Design Contest. 90 projects have been submitted, ranging from robot hamsters to timelapse photography rails to an International Space Station tracker. Voting has been underway for one week now and will continue for 3 more weeks. Because the contest is hosted at a forums website, it’s a little tricky to navigate, with all the entries hosted inside forum posts. But here’s the basic breakdown:
The Official Rules are here.
