Korman,
perhaps I should have formulated the question a bit more conservatively, but I focused it on the themes of my blog: instrument building, music software development and ham radio.
So please take into account, that I choose projects which were focused on my interests. I would be happy to add more projects from the "real" world. If you have suggestions, you are welcome.
My main points:
- You can do what ever you want with a microcontroller. The limit is defined by memory and clock speed.
- The Arduino Environment (software and ports)is a great way to learn for a beginner and to prototype for an advanced user.
- When you want to develop complex scenarios you need (most of the time) more than one head and profound knowledge about the problem and software implementation.
- Small is beautiful and I like to have a processor, lcd interface and ethernet on three little boards for little money.
