element14, an Avnet community, in conjunction with Hammond Enclosures, will foment the development of projects for the harshest of environments with their “Just Encase” design challenge to create a design built to work reliably in extreme situations. "Engineers have to take the environment into account when building their designs,” said Dianne Kibbey, Global Head of Community and Social Media for the element14 Community. “This challenge is a great way for designers to test their skills and learn about the benefits of high-quality enclosures in protecting their projects from the elements.”
The “Just Encase” design challenge is open to everyone, to design the most creative project built to withstand hazardous weather, based on a custom kit provided by Hammond. The kit includes Hammond cable glands, a water-tight ABS enclosure, a polycarbonate enclosure, a selection of thermocouples, environmental sensors, and load cells, as well as an Arduino MKR WAN 1300.
Applications close on October 31 and the 20 best challengers will be announced on November 15. Participants will have until February 1 to blog about and build their projects. Winners will be announced in February 2022.
