- low-frequency oscilloscope and/or logic analyser
- recording some physical measurement (temperature, humidity,
acceleration, sound pressure, hartbeat, etc) over time for later storage
and/or presentation and/or analysis
- a 'protected' bootloader (for various meanings of 'protected'!)
- a PIC introduction course that makes the world forget about the 16x84
- a PIC video frame grabber with reasonable resolutio
- a room-sized GPS: low-budget position and orientation sensing in a
room or on a table (use sound, IR, long-wave radio, whatever you want)
- help kyle (the current jal maintainer/developer) to port Jal to the
18F's
- a LED experiment: is 100% 10mA or 50% PWm 20mA more visible (for
various brands, colors, duty cycles, average currents, etc)
