Some ideas about possible projects for the second term

As we did for the first term, it works best if each team chooses a topic of their liking. But to guide you a
bit in the process, it is best to focus your attention on the topics of the second term. So here you have some ideas:

1. General purpose PC to micro-controller communication (USB, serial ports, I2C, SPI, etc). Microcontroller might well be an Arduino board. If you do not have one you should!.
2. Data transfer of collected data by a data-logger device.
3. Ethernet communications (again PC-microcontroller, maybe without a TCP/IP stack).
4. Ethernet packet capture for multiple purposes (miniwireshark).
5. Use of raw-sockets (that will require C instead of Java, and root access too).
6. Subnetting/supernetting calculator, maybe web-based
7. Error control codes.
8. Signal analysis (frequency domain). 
9. Modulation and demodulation. Transmission of signals without polarity or DC component. 
10. Home automation projects.
11. Mobile apps.

I almost forgot it! 

Please have a look to section 4.5 of the textbook.
