element14 low power design challenge

Update: December 9, 2023

There are several industrial design applications that can benefit from a lower power and easier to use embedded solutions, ultimately saving companies time, money and operational bandwidth for optimized system power.

Dedicated to improving industrial design through efficient IoT applications, Infineon Technologies provides users with the optimal hardware and platform to build smart, energy-efficient, and secure IoT systems, along with an easy-to-use and flexible software to bring ideas to life.

In its’ latest element14 design challenge, element14 Community members are invited to use the Infineon Technologies PSo 6S2 + AIROC WiFi/Bluetooth Pioneer Kit along with the ModusToolbox Software environment to build a low-power IoT device to create an innovative design. Example applications could include a factory automation sensor hub, predictive maintenance module or air quality monitor.

Applications are now open to become one of 20 challengers and receive the PSOC 6S2 + AIROC Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Pioneer Kit to build your chosen project.

The challengers, announced on 2nd August, will have about 10 weeks to build their projects, and develop 10 blog posts sharing their progress with element14 Community members. Entries will be judged by a panel of judges on originality, innovation and technical merit.

Winners will be announced in October: the first prize winner will receive an 11” iPad Pro 128GB and a solar powered charger, second place will receive an iPad mini with a solar powered charger. For a chance to win one of these prizes, contestants must build their low-power project using the Pioneer Kit and ModusToolbox™.
