Cornell University FPGA Class Projects for 2008

Posted by timothy on from the ok-dad-now-about-that-money-I-asked-for dept.

Matt writes "The new crop of Cornell University ECE 5760 projects are now online. Some really cool projects, as well as the previous two years' worth of projects." Since it's mid-December, many other schools, too, have either just let out or are about to; can you point to any other online collections of cool technical projects?

    Not all of them are trivial Tristan Rocheleau's lock-in amplifier project is not something I'd expect to see from an undergrad.

  2. MIT 2.009 Product Design class, and more by compumike · · Score: 2, Informative

    For a slightly more holistic project approach, take a look at a MIT 2.009 Product Engineering class (Mechanical Engineering dept), which now has videos from their projects for this semester: microwave fire extinguisher, self-adjusting electric cook-top array, basketball player tracking system, etc. There are also some neat projects for microcontroller beginners on the NerdKits videos page. DIY digital scale interface over USB, morse code decoder, iPhone R/C car control, and more. (Disclaimer: I did some of the electronics design for the 2.009 Purple Team, and am one of the NerdKits team.)

    To answer the poster's question, the opencores.org site provides a wealth of free FPGA hardware designs.

    You can find a full list of their projects here.

    Shameless plug:

    William & Mary offers a very similar class as an undergraduate Physics elective that I just completed.

    Mirroring the parent poster's comment: "It was very hard" (damn interesting though...)
