GCSE/A Level Electronics Ideas

[Kossy25]

Does anyone have any ideas for anything i could make for my GCSE and or A level Electronics project. Im pretty stumped as for what to make,I am doing my alevel early and I have only had half a year to learn the basics ,I quite fancy using a Pic-axe chip, there this one guy in my class making a Arcade Machine, any help would be great.

 

PS. it has to be something that could be used to raise money at a school faire ,I know that sucks.

 

 

Thanks

anything using an arduino would be cool:

not necessarily, there's stacks of cool things you could do with an Arduino.

Do check with teacher that what you want to do will fit the course specification though

If you've got the budget, Lego Mindstorms + bluetooth control module + playstation / xbox bt controller + wireless camera.

 

Let people pay to drive it round the building and watch the video coming in.

 

I'd like to build a self balancing robot (segway style balancing) but can't work out how to make it pay.

 

Alternatively, build a segway clone or one of the skateboard-like derivatives and charge for rides.

AM / FM radio ?

That'd give your insurance people a nightmare!

 

Tombola/raffle systems?

 

A geeky take on those machines that gauge how much of a lover you are/how wet you are/how brave you are etc?
