The
Renesas M16C Design Contest 2005
The M16C Design Contest 2005 offered the perfect opportunity
to explore the M16C family of powerful microcontrollers. When
Renesas and Circuit Cellar announced the competition to find
the best M16C-based applications, designers from around the
world took the challenge. In all, 20 countries were represented.
Participants submitted a wide range of projects, everything
from an altimeter to an autonomous robot to a digital instrument
panel. The variety and quality of the applications demonstrated
not only the high caliber of the M16C/28, M16C/62P, M32C/84,
and R8C/13 microcontrollers, but also the ingenuity of the projects’
designers.
The contest judges were charged with the task of selecting
the best among the pool of well-engineered projects. The top
13 projects were chosen based on their technical merit, originality,
usefulness, cost-effectiveness, and design optimization. We
are proud to announce that René Geraets of the Netherlands has
won First Prize for his original M16C/62P-based design. Congratulations
to all of the winners!
