19 Jan 2005 23:38 Need suggestion or idea for a new project

Hi,

I am preparing to do a project for a senior project that has practical application but I am not sure what area of application yet.

I have background in both digital/FPGA and analog and also software. I am thinking of doing something embedded but I am not sure yet.

Could you suggest something that you've done at your work or something you've done before?

The project could be complex since I can work with others as a group project.

You guys can probably take up implementing a uart core or an IIC slave in an FPGA. This should be a moderate undertaking. It forms a integral part of many communicating devices and is a good exposure to protocols and implementation. you can also write down test benches to verify the same.

best wishes,

You can try something in RFID. Experts say money can be earned in this area...

Hi,

I suggest you an USB scrolling display. This product should :
- have an USB connection
- display a message on a LED screen with scrolling effect
- be parametrized by a PC

We can imagine that the LED screen is big to be seen in the street for advertising, or that the screen is very small to put on your desktop, just for fun...
