Best next project ideas

I think people who say they don’t have an “idea” to work on are lying. The ideas are in their head, but they don’t want to tell you.

Me, I have too many ideas. I keep a TiddlyWiki that has over 100 ideas of projects, things to build, apps and web sites. There is even a category of bad ideas with 37 ideas that are too Si-fi, hard, or not my thing.

Here is a list of the ideas that might be interesting to you, readers of this blog.

  • Finish the TaskTurner
  • Rust for an RTOS
  • Do the robot arms and use ROS.
  • A project with an FPGA
    • A project using the FPGA for video
    • A project using a Zynq and FPGA
    • Process audio with this
    • A project with an Amazon F1 Instance
  • Driver for a peripheral in FreeRTOS
  • Serve a web page from a tiny microcontroller
    • Use Vue.js to make it pretty
  • Finish mycircuitboard.net
    • Use Vue.js to make it pretty
  • Get a USB device working
    • Tie sensors and stuff to the USB device
  • A pool/hot tub monitoring device
    • With an app
  • An attic fan controller
  • Something cool with Memristors, not a clue what, but something cool
  • Color sensors. They are in a box in the closet, waiting, always waiting…
    • An M&M sorting machine with the color sensors (great way to show off I2C)

See what I mean, too many ideas, never enough time, sigh. James Altucher talks about becoming an idea machine. It is good advice. What can you come up with?
