Project Suggestions
In past years, a great variety of projects have been successfully
completed. The following is a list of some of these completed final
project reports.
All the project reports listed below are on file in 38-684. You may
sign out any one for an overnight loan or for reading in the lab. You
are free to make a copy of part or all of a report if you want to keep
it for a longer time. The best and most interesting of your project
reports will be used to augment this list for future terms.
It is often more satisfying to have projects which do something in
addition to blinking LEDs. Examples are audio output, TV monitors,
or VDT terminal displays.
Be careful - most unsuccessful projects were too complex. We will
help you to size your project appropriately.
