EE Senior Project: Designing a Wireless Project

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around ideas for an electronics senior project, with a particular focus on wireless projects. Participants share their interests and propose various project concepts, exploring the integration of software and hardware.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses interest in designing a wireless project and seeks suggestions.
  • Another participant inquires about the balance of software and hardware in the project, suggesting a mix of off-the-shelf and custom components.
  • A third participant encourages the original poster to pursue a wireless project, proposing the idea of a wireless messenger that sends messages over a local area.
  • Another participant mentions a project idea involving a robot hand that tracks human hand movement, indicating an interest in robotics or chip design.
  • A humorous suggestion is made for a wearable garage door opener that responds to mental commands.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the interest in wireless projects, but multiple competing ideas and concepts remain without a clear consensus on the best approach.

Contextual Notes

Some project ideas may depend on specific definitions of wireless technology, and the feasibility of proposed projects is not fully explored.

What type of electronics project did you design? What do you think would be a good project? Right now I'm leaning towards a wireless project.

From your profile, it looks like you're mainly a sofware guy. What mix of software, off-the-shelf hardware and custom hardware do you want in your project?
 
dduardo, this is probably the first time i have seen you posting in this forum. I've even asked you already why are you a EE and you don't even post here :D Wireless is what I'm interested in myself so I would say to go with that, just try to come out with something new.

Have you thought about doing a wireless messenger. Anyway it is basically just sending messages at some discrete frequency over a local area. Applications could be around UM's campus LOL.

I am not there yet, but i have heard of other's: the coolest was robot-hand tracking human-hand movement.
Robotics or chip design sounds interesting.
 
Design a garage door opener that you wear on your head and which
responds to the mental command "open the garage door".
