Hi AAC,
I'm doing a two year electronics degree and doubt I can go on to engineering school so I want the best AAS I can get. That means doing honors projects. So I'm curious what you think of my project ideas and/or if you have other interesting ideas.
Electronic Circuits 2: 24 character alphanumeric marquee /w custom font. I'll make a custom power supply and PCB, there will be a little math for getting the circuits sized right, just wish it was a bit more 'circuits 2' oriented. If I pull it off, it'll look awesome and my art friends will think I'm cool, but I think it's more a fabrication challenge than Circuits 2 challenge.
Electronic Devices: variable Darlington power supply. Custom schematic and PCB with power supply load calculations from class. This will force me to understand Zener voltage references once and for all.
Intro Microprocessors: Arduino fish tank controller?
After several ideas, the fish tank controller incorporates wifi stuff, robotics, and pretty things. However, not only has world+dog already built one of these, there is already an off the shelf Arduino solution!

So I guess I can buy their sensors then do the hardware/coding myself, and I'm sure I'll learn a lot reinventing the wheel, just doesn't feel too original.
Interested in what you think. Also, I'll need you to send code, specs, schematics and build journal please. (Just kidding)
