Hello everyone.
I am currently in my last college year and one of my tasks is to design a prototype of something. Our teacher offered many project examples like: Creating an autonomous robot car, creating a pill dispensor, creating a computer game, etc.
The main thing in this project is the fact that I must use a microcontroller (preferably ATMega---) in order to control my prototype. For example, in the car project, I need to code my micro in order for him to accelerate or desaccelerate if, for example, the car encounters an object (with the help of proximity sensors). In the game project, for example, I need to code my micro with the game code itself and then display it on a monitor or osciloscope while controlling the main character with the micro (games like space invaders, Ping Pong, snake, etc....).
I am having lots of trouble choosing which project theme to follow since everything seems very hard. I have no idea how to code a car to drive and even less how to build a prototype of one.
Same with the game. If it was something like creating and executable file in Windows and run it, ok. Coding a micro and playing on it? No idea.
Any insights or help on this topic?
