Eat Pie…and Win a Dev Board
March 14, 2017
Happy Pi Day! And what better way to celebrate than to enjoy a slice of pie? We came up with a way to make today even sweeter: eat pie and get a chance to win a MAXREFDES130# building automation shield.
Celebrating Pi Day at Maxim
An Arduino form-factor shield compatible with the ARM® mbed™ and Arduino platforms, MAXREFDES130# is a complete reference design for prototyping building automation designs. You can also use it to prototype internet of things (IoT) designs, animatronics, and holiday displays. We’re confident you’ll come up with some creative ideas, and we can’t wait to hear about them!
Entering our contest is as easy as, well, pie: just go to Maxim’s Facebook page and add a comment to our Pi Day post that includes a photo of yourself with a pie and your answer to the question, “What will you design with the MAXREFDES130# building automation shield?” You’ll have until 11:59p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on Sunday (March 19) to submit your response. Once you enter, you’ll be entered into a random drawing for one of these very cool development boards. We have 10 to give away.
