Publisher’s Note: Readers may be interested in knowing that Echelon is currently running its 2007 Control Without Limits design contest (deadline Sept. 30, 2007). The contest challenges design engineers around the globe to create innovative, interactive products that use Echelon's control technology to reduce energy consumption. Entries can use either LonWorks or Pyxos technology. Although there is $5,000 in prize money up for grabs, note that there is another incentive to entering: Circuit Cellar will also post the top three winning entries online. Winners will enjoy worldwide exposure from the #1 resource for complete embedded design projects. Circuit Cellar applauds Echelon for placing an emphasis on reduced energy consumption, a topic even Steve Ciarcia, Circuit Cellar’s founder/editorial director, is addressing (see Priority Interrupt, “Keeping the Lights On,” May 2007, and Priority Interrupt, “Keeping the Lights On: Reality Time,” July 2007). I welcome all Circuit Cellar readers to investigate green technology. Good luck! www.echelon.com/developers/design2007
