content: Hey guys,I need some help in choosing final year project .I am interested in Embedded Systems project but the field is vast so I cant narrow down to any one ..Could you please tell me what are the latest trends in this field that I can apply in my project.My budget is around $200.

content: How long do you have?Are there any recommended projects from your lecturer?Do you have to have to build it yourself, or can you just cut code using existing modules?Everything is internet connected these days. "Cloud" this, "Cloud" that .Dave.

content: I have 3 days before 'project idea presentation'. We have to make a full fledged project software,hardware and documentation but that is later part of my semesters..My College profs have just told us that reference should be IEEE documents/magazine/conference but that can be taken care of if the idea is good . I prefer Embedded projects..I have one project topic which i find good "NETWORK CONTROLLED MONITORING SYSTEM USING ARM" but similar topic has been done 2 years ago so I doubt of getting it selected.Thanks for replying .

content: Quote from: Scholes18 on July 13, 2012, 09:42:36 amI don't quite understand what you mean here. Are you saying that they want you (ideally) to only implement a project idea that's in some IEEE paper?QuoteIt's been done countless times, as has practically everything you can think of!Dave.

content: microcontroller driven quad-copter.Sure it's been done before, but at least its fun to buildThere's lots of room to add/remove complexity if needed.

content: I think they mean refer from standard sourceshere is the link for projects my seniors have done...this are the kinds of projects i am looking for...http://extc.spit.ac.in/student-projects/Lots of time to implement (by march) but they want us to present our conceptI am not looking for absolute unique things if i could modify and make it better that would be good enough

content: Quote from: Psi on July 13, 2012, 09:59:21 amThese things are awesome when they fail. I have read on the open source list for the Arducopter that there have been cases of a user giving a "up" command then losing tx and the microcontroller just keeps going up...for miles! Hmmm, maybe not so awesome...

content: Quote from: KTP on July 13, 2012, 11:52:31 amI've seen that actually happen with a Parrot AR drone. It kept going up and up until the wind caught it, then it flew miles away in a very short time.

content: QuoteExactly why I have not bought an arducopter even though I really want one. It isn't all about the $800 in parts I would lose, but more about how I would feel if somehow it went up into restricted airspace and was sucked into the intake of a jetliner. I know I know, very low chance of this happening, but still...these things are about 2kg...bigger than a bird strike.Sorry OP for going slightly off topic. What are your interests as a hobby? I like to work on embedded stuff that relates to other non-electronic things I do, like sailing, hiking, dirt biking.

content: An interesting project is the Laser harp.I just graduated from an EET program, and I based my design on Stephen Hobley's in the video.You can make it as complicated, or as simple as you please. I used light dependent resistors to sense the laser beams and output MIDI commands to a synth based on which beams were cut.
