I will build full framework that connects your Discovery to internet (home network => public IP, if you have one), runs web server, gathers data from all over the house via NRF24L01-based wireless network (another small ATTiny based modules with humidity, temperature, .. sensors, controlling lights and power etc) and provides them on web page.

A Real Car-puter

I would use it, in conjunction with an application board, to build a carputer...not one that allows you to listen to or watch pirated media. One which will automate things such as wipers and headlights. For the wipers, my car has only one intermittent setting so I would like to add in more settings. Maybe also look into rain sensors at some point but not initially. Headlights will be controlled by time (automatically coming on at night)and light sensors to turn on lights during daytime hours when lighting conditions are poor or if I am driving through a tunnel). Also use speed limit information hacked from gps maps to light up my dash gauges with different colours depending on my current speed and the posted speed limit (Red > 5% over speed limit, green for 10% under to 5% over the speed limit blue > 10% under the speed limit and no colour for missing speed limit information.

I know the usage is light for such a board but it leaves room for expansion and the projects I have here seem to be a good starting point for learning with.

Future projects could include controlling things such as ignition, doors and windows, heating etc from my phone and eventually building a customised alarm system. Also, some sort of laser mounted to a servo that will project a line/image onto the road to give following drivers a guide to what distance they should be from you depending on the speed you are travelling.

Good luck to everyone that enters.

First, I would learn how to use it then use it to get the Robitics merit badge(im in scouts) and show other scouts how to do it. I would also integrate it somehow into my science project that will help people(still have some planning to do :/) for school.

Good Luck :D

Programmable Effects Box

My friend and I were planning to create a cost-effective programmable guitar effects box. We thought this could be something big knowing that you can actually have an array of guitar effects at your disposal for a price not more than 300 dollars. No, probably not even 250 or 200 depending on the design. It just seems like either the distributors or the manufacturers are overpricing their stuff. Imagine, a simple and decent distortion pedal, nothing else, for more than 200 dollars? That's just madness, especially for upstart guitarists. But what else can they do? Instead of saving for more tools, they're saving for expensive effects.

This project would provide a different option for them. As long as they know how programming works, once they have the device, their only limit is their imagination.

This development kit would greatly help our plans, because we're actually trying to find out which is more cost-effective: using a low-profile x86 or using an ARM?

We're going to use Linux for the actual operating system. Then we'll create/modify a scripting engine. It's like Jesusonic, the one created by Cockos. But we're going to make it better, like we're going to license the system under GPL if in case it becomes a success, then open it to all platforms if possible, things like that. Plus, we'll release the schematics to the public. :D

I would like to use this board to program a voice emulator terminal so that I can finally help my niece (she is already 8 years old by the way) and is suffering classical autism. She can't speak but she understands what your going to say to her.

The coding would be to simply translate her keystrokes (like a dumb terminal with a keyboard) and it would activate every keystrokes she has to a digitally voice activated speaker.

It would be a sigh and a welcome relief on my sister's part to finally have her autistic daughter speak the word 'Mom" (even though it might just be a robotic voice) to her... I'm sure she would be crying when she finds out that that my niece(her daughter) can finally communicate to us (her family) and to the outside world....

[Hardware Hacking General] nikoti:
First, I'm going to learn about how the ARM architecture works and try to write/port a RTOS onto this device (it has very small RAM, so Linux won't fit). Then, I'll try to figure out if I could use it to enhance a computer/smartphone. Next, I'll add a monochromatic screen and some input (hardware keys). After collecting the experience I'm going to make use of acquired skills (by add useful mods for kernels and ROMs) and help to improve the XDA community which helped me so much :).

Android + school?

Hey guys,

My parents are always mad that I'm not busy with school, but with my Android phone. Now I can turn it around:

I am going to use it as my project for school;

As IT project I'm gonna programm it as a robot (Maybe a bit hard...), maybe build a kind of mobile or something other awesome, make a workpiece by it and blow away my teacher!

Finally I can combine ''Android'' with school :D

And after the project I can even expand my programming skills with this amazing board and I hope I can get my friends to make an even more amazing thing with it!

Please hit the thanks button, if you support me, and don't forget to check out my Twitter, Youtube and Facebook ;)

Thanks guys,

Skype Central Android Assistance

A group of my friends and I, all with different android phone models are setting up a Skype support forum. Anyone with a problem flashing a rom, phone overheating, bricked device, newbie flasher etc, can contact us on a device specific Skype Call line.

The individual can simply hold his device up to his camera while on Skype from a pc or web cam, and as we can directly view his/her device, we can troubleshoot and give direct solutions to their issues.

This has been in the works for a while now and funding is almost secure. So yeh, if you all at XDA would like to jump on board, the more the merrier. And our services will cost absolutely nothing but we will receive the back-end revenue from Skype and various Telecommunication providers here in S.A. Please note, the Telecommunication providers in S.A are still in a process of deciding if they would take our proposal. Everything however looks promising so far. I will upload all the necessary documents and legal strata as soon as our financial adviser has completed the essential requirements. This service however, if offered by XDA would be more beneficial to the community as the specific device knowledge on this Forum far surpasses anything else in the known world. Thank you for all your knowledge, skill and devotion to Technology.

[Hardware Hacking General] G.Trenchev:
I'll use it to redevelop the mobile software,and get rid of useless neanderthal Quad-Core processors and multiple GPUs,and 2Gb RAM in the mobile phone.With 4G speeds coming nobody needs the data of games and apps to be processed and stored by the smartphone.The mobile network speed are already close to the internal I/O of a small computer.The network will transfer just the image on the display and the I/O commands,with everything processed on the cloud servers.A 600Mhz single-core CPU in the phone can handle that.The device won't need any memory,nor GPU(just dispaly driver),nor gigs of RAM,just a display and a battery.It will cost around 100$.The cloud computing is coming.Nobody will carry around a smartphone with 10 processors in the future.I promise.

Development Opportunity

I am looking to develop a Salt Water Aquarium controller that is compatible with my Android Phone AND with my home server. Currently the available commercial controllers can run more than $1500 min, in order to be able to be compatible with my Android phone. I am building an Arduino controller, have learned with an Uno and a breadboard, but am looking to make this new controller usable, and reliable. Needing inputs for sensors, such as temperature probes, oxygen and ph sensors, and be able to connect PWM controls for LED lighting. I also need to be able to control pumps, water flow, and maintenance. And make all of it displayable at the tank and editable online, wireless or wired, but with a web based controller. At that point I will be able to develop an app to make this a reality for myself, and for other friends who are looking for something similar!!

See the attached photos to see the current tank with no lights, the next Arduino set I am working with, and the filtration and plugs being used for this tank.

Thank you for your consideration!!! Thanks for putting this contest together, and I would look forward to this advanced development board!
[Hardware Hacking General] :
First I will learn java(although I have no idea which programing language or whatever is used to program this thing I think java is a good place to start), that will probably take me 2-3 years or so.

By the time I finish learning java I will probably know what this is so ill be back in few years to write something smart here and win

Oh wait, this contest is open only one week.... damn
[Hardware Hacking General] insink71:
my side project idea

Well.. I have been pondering development boards for a couple months now. I got this idea when I heard one of the new APIs (Honeycomb & ICS) is for USB hosting. This means our devices can not only feed (which they've been able to do) but can actually control other devices/electronics. So, my idea.. had this and saw something similar but not quite the same (to what I had envisioned)..http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/devium/dash-the-smart-phone-car-stereo

Great idea there.. but I want to do it with a tablet one day (more screen real estate) and also.. is the tuner (that big box behind the initial interface) even needed? A control module that regulates voltages to certain wires is definitely needed.. so I was thinking Arduino.. read up, call my avionics wiring brother and see if he has suggestions, etc.

This development board would not only "do everything an arduino would do" it would also allow me to prototype for smaller devices (phones) as well.

Give my idea a consider and if you like it, click Thanks.

Thanks for your support.
[Hardware Hacking General] Entropy512:
If it winds up in my hands, the results will be similar except they will somehow involve a nasty run-in with a photoflash capacitor in attempts to release the magic smoke. SMOKE WANTS TO BE FREE!!!!

Not that the board is horrible/deserving of destruction - but I already have so many damn dev boards AND loose microcontrollers (seriously, I've got piles of various AVRs...) that I'm out of ideas for what to use something like this for.

Looking at some of the posts above, I think some people don't realize what this device is... You won't be doing an AOSP bringup or anything like that. Think of it as a good stepping stone up from Arduino, but not as beefy/complex as some of the Cortex-M3 units.
[Hardware Hacking General] swiss420:
Might as well provide an Idea...

But since I am realy no developer and I doubt that I can provide the community with anything usefull beyond Graphics it would not be for me.

If this idea gets enough Votes I would add additionaly CHF 100 ($110) cash to the price and send the ARM CORTEX M0 Development Board (send directly) to the second most voted post. Basically all you are doing by voting for this post is adding some cash to the price.

Afterall a dev cant live from coding alone. So if you support this idea and decide to thank me, please also thank the person/post you acctualy want to get the board. Or else my idea wont work.

Edit: Dont Vote for this it is kind of useless. I am looking into alternatives to add the cash. - Dident think this one through fully. ;)

[Hardware Hacking General] borce_razor:
Currently I'm playing with booting QNX on arm device, mostly for finding root access for BlackBerry PlayBook. I hope that it will work on Cortex-M0
[Hardware Hacking General] Entropy512:
No, doesn't support Android - ARM has a fairly wide spectrum of devices from microcontrollers to heavy-duty application processors.

Cortex-Mx are microcontrollers - and the M0 units are the cheapest/weakest of them. Usually the M-series devices have a small amount of flash and RAM built in on the chip - think kilobytes instead of gigabytes/megabytes. A "large" Cortex-M3 chip might have 512k of flash and 128k of RAM. This board has 64k of flash and 8k of RAM (big compared to the ATMega168 found in most Arduinos, but tiny compared to anything that runs Android.)

The much more powerful applications CPUs (many of which can run Android) are the Cortex-Ax series.
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
If you happen to lose, you should know that STM makes a few different

development boards at cheap enough prices to have some fun with.

For example, the board being offered here is only $8.

For $21 you can get a board with accelerometer, microphone and audio output.

[General Questions and Answers] JzMac:
Ok, so having transferred back to Sprint after an arduous ordeal with Verizon, I now have my new LG LS840 'Viper'[A.os v2.3.3] and have rooted the system. This was definitely not my preferred choice (I wanted the HTC Evo LTE), but it seems like you all got to them first. Now having said this, I find it alarming how few (if I manage to find any @ all) posts there are about the above mentioned LG.

I have run into a few problems. As in things like; I have root and su# capability. System apps. which require root seem to work fine(i.e. mem. optimizers and CPU controls etc.). That is until I try Clockwork Recovery which sends the device into reboot. Also, trying to access the bootloader in the common android fashion (Pwr+Vol.Dn) does nothing more than send me to a 'Factory Data Reset' option.

Now please understand that I am new to LG, as all my experience is with HTC, both at Sprint prev.(HTC EVO 4G wi-max) and at Verizon (HTC Thunderbolt LTE) I think I simply got conned into this fone.

So, If any one reading this post has any experience with the LG Viper, or any other LG device, or both (preferably), Please, give me the run down on how these devices work or any input on the above listed issues.

Also, any links to information (etc.) will be highly appreciated.

Thank You, JLM:confused:

Jelly Bean release

I get the feeling the Viper is suffering because of LG's decision to release it with GB when ICS had been available for so long. Maybe there's some light at the end of the tunnel. I did find at least one rumor saying it will get a Jelly Bean Update in the Sept/Oct time frame. It might be enough to get some interest back into the device. Without some interest on the part of Devs, this isn't going to move much at all. It might already be past a critical adoption time too.

Since I'm a noob, I can't post a link, but go ahead and Google:
