IBM's decision to use the Intel 8088 for their PC seems to be mainly their familiarity with the 8086 and the fact that the Motorola 68000 was still a few months away from having all support chips in production.
- Hardware hacking: Reverse engineering, modding, adding digital to analog hardware, sniffing busses, modifying firmwares, etc.
- Control systems: Control systems are used everywhere, in ovens, antiblocking brake systems, drones stabilization, segway stabilization, etc. Many systems would not be able to operate at all if they didn't implement a control system. Control systems continuously compare the feedback signal to the provided setpoint to compute the error and accordingly change the system input in order to reach the set point. The math required to create a control system can be from very simple on-off controllers, to PID control, to model predictive control to all kind of exotic algorithms, still the controller task is the same, reach the setpoint quick without overshooting.
I vote for this proposal. Nowadays, all the USB-C phones has the OTG plus a lot of the previous generation smartphones. It is a while that you can program your Arduino from an App.
Not only but the most recent apps can also control the device via BLE (so, no pairing is required and everything of the radio connection is made easy).
Phone peripheral. Most phones have a USB OTG port that could connect to a peripheral or accessory. Or the peripheral could be connected via Bluetooth, or even NFC.
Or the project could be a device that uses a phone as its brain. Maybe just a fancy charging cradle that has multiple functions.
My project Smarthab can be monitored and controled by RFID, Internet webpage. For instance you were out of town and you had put the Smarthab into vacation mode before you left. Your now coming home and in the airport waiting for you flight, you could then to go back on the normal 77 degrees at 40% humidity. When you get home your house recognizes your car (wifi) and opens the garage door. When you walk up to you front door it unlocks it when you are with in 1 foot of the door.
The competition actually begins June 14th. There was an error on the page that has since been corrected. That said, as balearicdynamics you are free to post your project ideas well in advance of that date. We would be particularly interested in what kinds of projects you want to build for this competition as it may inspire ideas for others.
Hey, I'm new to the community. I want to submit the project idea for Remote monitoring and control theme starting 15th June but i could find where to submit it. Also it would be of great help if somebody can explain when and how to submit the ideas!!
