Thanks to Protostack for sponsoring the contest this week. They will be providing the winner a 28 Pin AVR Development Board ver 1.5 which was featured here earlier in the week.

This board allows you to quickly build Microcontroller circuits for 28 pin AVR Microcontroller such as ATMEGA8, ATMEGA48, ATMEGA88, ATMEGA168 and ATMEGA328.

One half of the board is dedicated to the microcontroller, whilst the other half resembles our standard prototyping layout and can be used to build your circuits. The board supports a 10 pin ISP connector to program your microcontroller, a reset button, external oscillator and a low pass filter for AVCC. As with our other prototyping boards, it also has power busses, connection strips on the outer edge and many other features. These are listed in the features and benefits section.

This contest will run for one week (Aug 7 – Aug 13, 2010) . Ending time is based on central standard time. To enter, identify the blown up component pictured above and give an example of what can be done with it.

Please do not give the answer in the comments.

    Just to clarify, how specific should the answer be?
    I can think of a very simple answer.

    do you want the name of the damaged part or the entire contraption?

    Just the damaged item. What it’s called and what it’s for.

    It’s the marshmallow I dropped into my equipment the other week.

    It’s a tiny rotten apple that fell out of a tree and onto this contraption.

    The tiny piece of MS Paint spraypaint on the object in question is awfully interesting.
