Hi there. I'm an undergrad (in computer science and engineering) aboutto go to final year. In our final year, we're required to do anyear-long project. I was hoping if anyone could suggest me a REALLYGOOD project in embedded systems. Though I do not have any hands-onexperience in such programming, I would definitely work for it.

Look at Circuit Cellar Magazine.They have some great projects.I would suggest purchasing a new micro development board (like Phillipsnew Arm 7's) and interface the development board with a PC using theserial port. You could make a GUI with Visual Basic that would run onthe PC.This would be a pure embedded / PC side software project. If you wantto do more hardware, design your own development board. (Designing yourown board may be a bit much for a school project though, consider thework load from your other classes)Eric

Project Suggestions???

Yes, there are various exceptions, but it's quite complex. As I said, we ran into issues with garden-variety dry cells.

To say nothing of battery powered laptops or check in luggage where all sorts of powered electrical equipment (electric razors, clocks, cell phones, radios) are routinely shipped.
