Subject: Re: [oc] Final Year University Projects
I've had two 4 month projects, both entirely open ended. You pick your
own design write your own specs, etc. Write a proposal that has to be
approved by the professor. The only constraints would be your basic
unit. In one it was a PIC microcontroller, and in another it was an
Altera FPGA.
With the PIC I built a Radio Frequency Keypad and lock system, which
could unlock electronic doors remotely.
With the FPGA we build a VGA display device, which could render simple
3d triangles.
