college project ideas
Hi there,
Basically I'm 18 and I've just started my second year of a level 3(Uk) college course. The course is known as a diploma in Electronics and microcomputing, consisting of Software development in c++,the principles,microelectronics,programmamble controllers etc etc.
This year I need to create a project, but im stuck for ideas!
I have a budget of £25 so I'm not really sure what to do. We've been told to avoid things such as using radio waves as we only have a 20 week time period to complete this project and its suggested it would be above our level of understanding.
I would like to make some sort of robot that basically has sensoring on there so if it hits a wall it does a set taskor somthing, or follows a strip. I wouldnt mind incorpating some c++ in this project because i like the idea of being able to communicate through software and hardware,even if the program will be realitlvly basic.
I just need some direction really of where to begin
Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreicated,
Matt
