===== Projects =====
accelerometer input, PWM LEDs output
  * 3 analog inputs X Y Z +-
  * intensity of LEDs corresponds to tilt
  * 6 LEDs - red and blue

servo control
  * snap o lantern
    * servo and timer, LED eyes, slowly opens and snaps shut
    * **hitech HS81 $15 servo**
  * pumpkin with wheels - needs LEGO (bad)
  
SPI based LED display

check out the processing book
  * a casual guide to programming
  * interviews w/people outside doing cool things

using same hardware with minor mods to do many projects

zuccherino

Peggy - doesn't use enough different things - too many LED projects already - bad project

Meggy Jr. - possible last project, uses many features of avr

chips as building blocks - AND NOT gate

sound projects?
  * funky 8 bit synth - 2 AVRs with one dedicated to sound generation with D/A R ladder
  * Mitch's idea - outgrowth of trippy rgb waves - with sound?
  * something with Arduino - Jeff to look into - sound synth?  build an Arduino with an AVR 1st

Windell sez:

Please count me in.  I think that a new AVR project book (especially from all of us) is a good idea. 

I'll give projects some thoughts.

At sf micro meeting he mentioned an accelerometer project that has 6 LEDs and uses 3 analog inputs.  Super simple - perfect for the book.

Had really bad experience with last book he was involved with.

===== Jeff's Notes =====
the [[avrbook:projects:accelerometer]] project sounds good for the book because it has analog input and it's fairly simple.
