Like every year, I’ve organized a giveaway week to send some of the items I’ve reviewed in the past year or so. There was a good mix of devices this year starting with a mini Linux NAS kit, following by some ESP32 boards, and Amlogic development boards among others.
The results are in, and instead of 10 winners, I actually have 11 winners due a “timing issue”, and to make for one missing ESP32 board, a LinkIt Smart 7688 Duo board was also given away.
While it started strongly for Eastern Europe, We have winners from 3 continents this year:
- NanoPi NEO2 NAS Kit –
- Muses Beta DVB Encoder and Modulator Board – Luka, Slovenia
- ESP32 PICO Kit v3 boards (5 Winners):
- Andrius Kurtinaitis, Lithuania (2x ESP32 boards)
- Kebab, Turkey (2x ESP32 boards)
- Zoobab, Belgium (2x ESP32 boards)
- Sollie, Germany (2x ESP32 boards)
- BobR, USA (1x ESP32 PICO Kit + LinkIt Smart 7688 Duo)
- NanoPi K2 board – ml, Sweden
- Wio GPS Tracker – Tumpang L., Malaysia
- Nextion Enhanced 7″ Display – Ved Vernekar, USA
- Khadas VIM Pro board – gleveque, France
I’ve just send all 11 packages earlier this afternoon.
I hope the winners will enjoy their prizes, and thank you to everyone who played. Let’s do it again next year.

Congratulations to everyone! Great to see such a diverse distribution of readers!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Congratulations, both to CNX for the initiative and the winners, of course.
You made a typo, you wrote gleveque instead of agumonkey; no worries I won’t hold a grudge 😉
ps: fun to see which country followers come from
Congrats for all!
… maybe CNX can publish an article with his reader (/commenter) distribution per country.
That would actually be very interesting to see. I’m not sure they have that info for everyone as, IIRC, they had to ask each winner for their postal code so that they could ship their winnings to them.

You have an IP address and from there can get a reader’s country and generally town.
congratulations and have much fun with your new hardware!
Well done everyone – Enjoy playing with your new toys !
You can use GeoIP, but those can be a bit flakey. Probably good enough for our purposes here. 🙂
thanks Jean Luc, for this change every year 😉
