 Cornell’s Newest Microcontroller Projects

From: http://hacknmod.com/hack/cornells-newest-microcontroller-projects/

Cornell has released their latest batch of microcontroller electronics projects ranging from a 3D scanner to infrared laser harps.  All of the projects use Atmel ATmega chips (the same chipsArduino uses) to accomplish their tasks.  All 42 projects can be seen on the course website.  For more project inspiration, see our most popular hacks and last year’s microcontroller projects.
