Atmel AVR Design Contest 2006 Winners Announcement

The Atmel AVR Design Contest 2006 was an excellent opportunity for designers to work with the Atmel AVR family of flash memory microcontrollers and test their design skills against the world’s best and brightest engineers. Last February, designers from all corners of the globe started working with the parts and planning their projects. In mid-August, the judges started reviewing all of the inventive entries. After thoroughly reviewing each submission, the judges awarded prizes to 12 projects based on their technical merit, usefulness, originality, design optimization, and cost effectiveness.

We are proud to announce that Alberto Ricci Bitti has won the Grand Prize for his innovative WITNESSCAM project. Alberto’s amazing design is an automated, self-recording surveillance system that features a VGA CMOS camera, a passive infrared movement sensor, a 1-GB SD card, and an Atmel ATmega32 microcontroller. This easy-to-install, self-contained surveillance system is the perfect solution for the home or office.

Congratulations to all of the winners!
