EE Senior Project: Designing a Wireless Project

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on designing a wireless electronics project, with participants expressing interest in innovative ideas. Suggestions include a wireless messenger for local communication and a robot hand that tracks human movement. There is also a unique concept for a wearable garage door opener activated by mental commands. Participants emphasize the importance of combining software with both off-the-shelf and custom hardware. Overall, the focus is on creating something novel within the wireless domain.

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".
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
