Congratulation to 56Effie and Kevin who were the winners last week.
Send an email to contest @ hackedgadgets.com with “Name the Thing” as the subject consisting of: The device is a 5 volt regulator. This device would be used where you have a high voltage and need a stable 5 volt supply. For example a 7805 could be used to take the 12 volt power available in your car and produce a stable 5 volt power source for a microcontroller. There are of course many other uses for the device. The winner is Peter D. Thanks to all who entered.

Things would certainly be a lot more difficult without a pile of these at hand!

Ha ha! I just swaped one of these out last week.

Come on guys, can we try harder than that, heck all someone would have to do is Google the part number, and they could email you a spec sheet in under 2 minutes of posting, if they worked fast.
Iv’e never even used one personally, but I knew what it was as soon as I saw the numbers on it.

Wait, i have used one, it’s in my parts bin right now… forgot about it, it came with my little hobby kit.

[...] Hacked Gadgets blog has a contest JUST FOR THIS WEEKEND. Take a look at the picture of the thing on this page and guess what it is and what it can be used for. You might win another thing! I could probably come up with some uses for the thing in the picture but honestly I do not know what it is. Do you??? You might want to look at this blog in any case because it has a lot of gadgets on it. Who doesn’t like gadgets? [...]

You assume that everyone in front of a computer is familiar with small electronics. This contest is a great teaching tool. It makes an individual research and learn what something is used for or how something works. The person doesn’t know it but they are learning. They only thing they are looking the info up to get a prize. If schools could incorporate something similar we would have geniuses walking around.

[...] Congratulation to Peter D. who was the winner last week. The first prize this week is a 2.5″ PATA hard disk enclosure that allows you to take your data on the road. Just slide in a drive (not included) and plug into your USB port. I use thumb drives a lot but quite often I am left using FTP to transfer files, this would certainly solve that problem. [...]
