This drop-dead simple project uses a SR87 GPS module and an AVR to understand the data. Then that is output onto a simple 16x2 character LCD. The hardware schematic and software is all there!

Today while I was looking around the inter-webs, I ran across this psuedo-ARM project index. The index is mostly an assortment of example programs for the more advanced features like timers & interrupts. Definitely worth a look if you need more ARM example code to look at.

This version of pong is fairly like the original one but the hardware used is minuscule in comparison. Using only a 12xxxxPIC to do all the hard labor, this project plays pong on a TV with two controllers for input.

This project is a very nicely designed weather satellite image receiver. The project write-up has the hardware schematic along with many nice photographs of the hardware in action. Take a good look at how much you can do with a simple microcontroller.

The keyboard has been a standard input device for several decades now so understanding how it works is rather important. This project goes through the process of creating the software for an 8051 microcontroller that can understand keyboard input. Software & Hardware schematics provided!

One of the drawbacks to embedded devices is they never have enough memory. A very simple trick to get around this is to make use of program memory space as well as RAM memory space. Most modern microcontrollers allow writing to program memory while the program is running.
