* Homework 8: Proposals for final projects. Finish lab exercises.
=== Final Project ===
The Assignment:* The final project is an open assignment similar to the midterm in that you need to identify and articulate an interest / something you want to make. This time, however, you need to use the Arduino for the project and both the code and the hardware will be considered in your grade. The Arduino presents you with new opportunities, to create:** A networked object, which either takes data in off of the computer, or sends it out into the world. see [http://books.google.com/books?id=K0nLbhWrTukC&dq=making+things+talk&printsec=frontcover&source=bn&hl=en&ei=QzeNS6LVO4H6sgPfqIytAw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CBsQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=&f=false Making Things Talk, Tom Igoe]** An object with multiple inputs, multiple outputs, or complex relationships between inputs and outputs. ** Think of some of the sensors I have shown in class (and others I have mentioned): do you want to make a project with a 3 axis accelerometer, which is sensitive to position? Do you want to use a range finder? Do a little digging on the possibilities and think ahead on this, so you can order a sensor online if you need to.
The Format:
* Proposal, posted on your wiki page in a new '''Final Project''' section:
** Two paragraph written description of your idea.
