Starting Out
OK, I'm just about to go into my second year in university. In my first year I studied computing science and physics. Both courses covered the fundamentals of electronics. The problem with both was that they were all about the theory. So I've decided I'd like to put some of my knowledge into practice.
I have set myself a three aims and would love to hear how I could go about learning to design and build the following.
1) Build a USB lamp that I can control(ON/OFF) using a program I will make in ASM or C/C++
2) Same as above except using a wireless connection(still using a USB connection for the wireless transmitter)
3) I would like to take on of my old console controllers and add to them wireless capabilities to control the lamp.(possibly N64 or ps1 controller)
I know this may sound like allot, since I am just setting out, but if you could point me in the right direction, I am more than willing to read and experiment with anything that you recommend.
Thanks for your time
