THE LORD OF THE KEYS Honorable
Mention Winner. August 16, 2006
"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. Circuit Cellar Magazine, October 2006 Letter from Circuit Cellar to Carlos Cossio dated October 19, 2006: Dear Carlos, Congratulations for placing in the Atmel AVR contest 2006! The contest was a great opportunity for designers from around the globe to work with the Atmel AVR family of flash memory microcontrollers and compete against the world's best and brightest engineers. Atmel set the requirements, and you stepped up and delivered an amazing project entry! While reviewing all of the submissions, the judges found that your project stood out among the sea of entries. In addition to your prize money, Circuit Cellar and Atmel would like to present you with the enclosed certificate. We want to you know that we recognize the considerable amount of thought and effort that you put into designing your project and preparing your entry. You should be proud of this major achievement! In the coming days, your project will be posted on our web site as an example of excellence in design. And, as always, we look forward to working with our contest winners to publish related project articles in Circuit Cellar's print magazine. Thank you for participating in this successful contest. We hope to see another of your entries in one of our upcoming contests! Regards, C.J.
