Hello,
I am in my 3rd and final year of college for Electronics Technologist Diploma. I have a project to work on starting next January 2015.
I would appreciate your help choosing a simple project that DOES NOT involve Micro-controller.
First let me start by saying this:
- There no more than 15 people in each class. No one shows any interest in working with a partner at all. All students reside considerably far away from school so meeting up off school hours is not an option (based on previous experiences)
-We have absolutely no outside classroom support from teachers nor tutors
-The project does not have to involved a high level of complexity (which is excellent)
Here is some of the ideas I have in mind:
1- Mixer (using a PLC Siemens S7 200 cpu) I was thinking of having writing a simple code which could give you 3 to 4 options to make mixtures of any kind of liquid like paint for example.
2- Alarm System (using a couple sensors perhaps I can simulate a room with doors and windows which can be used to trigger alarm)
3- AM transmitter and receiver (perhaps build a transmitter and receiver from scratch and be able to modulate a signal that can be demodulated by the receiver like voice, as simple as that)
Please help me out by brainstorming. The point is to demonstrate the project works and that involves some of the knowledge learned in school. This is not a project that is going to provide me with a job in the industry, I just want to get the mark and be able to graduate.
Thank you everyone!
