Re: Project Suggestions???

Hi there. I'm an undergrad (in computer science and engineering) about
to go to final year. In our final year, we're required to do an
year-long project. I was hoping if anyone could suggest me a REALLY
GOOD project in embedded systems. Though I do not have any hands-on
experience in such programming, I would definitely work for it.

I'll tell you what I'd build if I had time,
an adaptive lawn sprinkler controller with
integrated moisture sensors and a light
spectroscopy sensor.  It would adjust the
water application times based on temp, moisture
and lawn color and would tell me when to
apply fertilizer.  An http-based server
showing temperature, water volume applied,
moisture and color would be a nice add-on.

If you'd like to do it, I can scrape together
some free/cheap hardware for you.
