Bengaluru, India \u2013 22 July 2025:<\/strong> element14, an Avnet Community, has launched a new global design challenge in collaboration with W\u00fcrth Elektronik. This new competition invites engineers, makers and hobbyists to develop a prototype or test rig using W\u00fcrth Elektronik\u2019s cutting-edge SMD LEDs with Integrated WL-ICLED Controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge encourages participants to demonstrate the WL-ICLED Controller\u2019s capabilities through applications such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Home appliances<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Industrial control systems<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Smart lighting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Gaming peripherals<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Decorative lighting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Smart home monitoring or notification systems<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten applicants will be selected to receive a free design kit, including a variety of W\u00fcrth Elektronik WL-ICLEDs, an Arduino Zero, a power supply, and additional accessories to support their builds. All challengers must incorporate WL-ICLED technology into their project and document their progress through a series of blog posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that this challenge may require SMD soldering, reflow soldering and PCB design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications are open now through 8 August. Selected participants will have until 26 October to complete their projects, with winners announced shortly after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be eligible for prizes, selected challengers must post at least five updates on the element14 Community and a final project blog showcasing their build and the WL-ICLED\u2019s capabilities. Entries will be judged on creativity, technical execution, and effective use of the controller\u2019s features.
