MONEYPENNY Distinctive
Excellence Winner. February 7, 2007
"Starting in October 2006, designers began using Luminary Micro’s Stellaris family of ARM Cortex M3 controllers and Keil’s RealView Microcontroller Development Kit (RVMDK) to design projects to enter in the DesignStellaris2006 contest. With $10,000 in cash prizes on the line and reputations at stake, the competition was fierce. Amazing projects came in from such diverse locations as the United States, Romania, India, and Malaysia. The judges scored all of the entries based on their technical merit, usefulness, originality, design optimization, and cost effectiveness. The results are now final, so it’s time to give the winners the recognition they deserve!". Circuit Cellar Magazine, April 2007 Letter from Circuit Cellar to Carlos Cossio dated April 16, 2007: Dear Carlos, Thank you for participating in the Luminary Micro DesignStellaris 2006 contest, and congratulations for being selected as a Distinctive Excellence recipient. The contest was a great opportunity for designers from around the globe to work with Luminary Micro's Stellaris family of ARM Cortex M3 controllers and compete against the world's best and brightest engineers. The competition was fierce! We felt strongly that there were considerably more first-rate projects entered in this contest than could be satisfied with the available prizes, so we designated a special category called "Distinctive Excellence" for some of the more noteworthy projects. Your project is definitely worthy of this honor. In addition to your check, we would like to present you with the enclosed certificate. We want you to 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 many of the contest entrants to publish related project articles in Circuit Cellar 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.
