Suggestions for PC Interfacing projects.
-
Hi all, I need some suggestions & ideas for PC Interfacing projects such as controlling something via PC & using sensors or heating something via USB, ... etc. So any creative ideas?!! Waiting for your replies.:) Regards,
Hmmm this is actually a really fun idea. You could make a bazillion different games, and I can give you some game ideas cause I have plenty of those (not saying they're any good). Some things that spring to my mind - count people/cars passing by in a street with a camera - create an alarm/logger that works on sound recording (or pressure measurements) - put a bunch of heat sensors in a room and calculate a person/objects movement by these measurements - create an application that moves your mouse button as you move your finger in front of the camera, and clicks when you yell "CLICK" hey this is fun. Does your company ask you to do this, and if they do, can I work there too? :p If you want, I could come up with a thousand more, but then you'll have to specify what you're capabilities are (webcam, microphone, fingerprint reader, retinal scan, heat sensor, pressure sensor,...) and if it should be practical or fun :rolleyes:
Visual Studio can't evaluate this, can you?

public object moo { __get { return moo; } __set { moo = value; } }WOOOOOOOOOW.. ;) Really nice & creative ideas but I'm not sure that I can do this.. I'm doing this as a project for one of the courses that I'm taking (i.e. I am a student). My capabilities are (webcam, microphone, or I can buy anything needed for that) and it should be practical && fun :cool: Waiting to hear from you:) Regards,

I think starting off with a sound recorder or something would be the easiest way. I'm not sure how to do this myself, but I can't think it to be very hard to process sound and f.e. check if it's over a certain volume, and then you can f.e. create an alarm on your laptop :) I write code in C# and I (and everybody else in the C# section) can help you with that portion. If I find the time, I'll check it out.

Dear Noora, I would suggest interfacing to the graphic LCD: something like... http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/index-grph.html Maybe making a small game like PONG using the mouse
