I've got a couple of pretty major projects I want to try, and a bunch of
minor ones. I'd like to try expanding the traditional persistence of vision
type of LED display (like these:
http://hackedgadgets.com/2006/06/13/top-5-spinning-led-displays/), except
capable of displaying arbitrary raster images -- moving raster images would
be even cooler. I'd also like to try building an inertial platform -- first
in digital, and maybe do it in pure analog as well just to prove that I can.
Related to that, I'd like to try making an interface circuit for a Maverick
missile gyro, since I've got a lead on a big lot of them for not too much,
and they are really quite nice little gyros. I've also got a notion about a
sailing autopilot that draws minimal current, but that's a pretty heavily
mechanical project, and I lack an appropriate sailboat for testing.
Smaller projects mostly include playing around with {R|L}VDTs and various
sorts of amplifiers and analog interface circuits with an eye to producing
them at much lower than current market prices for the hacker/maker/low-end
research market. PVDF films have also struck my fancy.
