suggestions for Projects based on 8051

I need to do a project using 8051 microcontroller for my final semester in my college... Need suggestions ... I'v been searching for a while.. It would be helpful if i get some suggestions on topics.... Thank u

Heater pid controller

For selecting the project few things should be kept in mind according to my past experience
1. First as much important is what i will be learn extra while developing this project. Any project can be build using any microcontroller. But the important thing lies in, beside the microcontroller what can i learn which will helpfull in future to me. For example as suggested above building a heater pid controller you would learn about different heat sensing element, analog electronics converting the analog signal to the digital one, different control systems etc.....(natually coding will come)
2. Whether the resource is available for you to do that
3. Time which will be consumed
4. Your pocket bucks

I can suggest you many but atleast the initiative should be from your side what your really want to do

I guess a good question would be which MC you are going to be using. If it is a privately owned MC you should be able to go to the website of the MC maker and find some good ideas.

That way we know how many ports you are working off of and what would be easiest for you to do with your materials.

Or am i too late?

Thanks .. I'v selected the topic " PREPAID ENERGY METER " 4 my project.. Thanks 4 helping me ...
