Like to Get an Intel Joule? Then Rate These Project Ideas

Wow, a lot of those sound VERY ambitious.

This is what my project proposal would look like:

I would like to blink an LED. A red one.

Oh and if a 3D printer or CNC company sponsorship can be included, I'll make a lighthouse... with a blinking red LED

Oh come on, the joule has great video capability, so you should blink a LED and have it recognise that it's blinking ..

There are some extremely ambitious concepts out there .... maybe too far out there for actual real results.

Sometimes these days it's actually easier to play a video than toggle a pin :-)

A video of a flashing led!

Navigating a Linux device tree can be daunting, so I hear.

It doesn't have to be tough, for example. Looking at the USB bus with 'lsusb' in terminal can give you many types of information.

The most common to see how the devices are assign to a said USB hub is to use 'lsusb -t' in terminal.

You can also use 'dmesg' to see what has loaded into your system from the time it started up until the current time. Of course you can use the pipe and grep command with double quotes if you need to search the dmesg log for something specific.

You use 'lsmod' to check for loaded modules (drivers and memory resident libraries).

There is a ready made package that is called, "hardinfo", can be run as normal user or root to gather all the system information you may need to troubleshoot or if you're curious in a graphical setting that is searchable tree, can save it as well, view the end result in a web browser. It's like Device Manager in Microsoft Windows but with an attitude, it has a lot more than just Device Manager has.
