Cornell University ECE 5760 Advanced Microcontrollers Final Projects

The following projects were produced in the last month of ECE 5760 in the fall. The students were given the responsibility of choosing their project, then designing and building it. Projects were built using the Altera/Terasic DE2, CycloneII FPGA, educational board . See the assignment or a few ideas for projects for further description. The project numbers are for identification and represent no other ranking. Send comments or questions to Bruce Land, Electrical and Computer Engineering'
