Over 30 new microcontroller projects were produced in the last month of ECE476 at Cornell University. The students were given the responsibility of choosing their project, then designing and building it using AVR Mega32 MCUs and Codevision C or GCC. New projects include laser-pong, MIDI devices, a model retina, video games, and a music-controlled puppet. The page contains over 200 older projects.
