EBC Project Ideas

One full project is done for the class and it's done with a team of 2 or 3. The goal is to have your work contribute to the open source world. Any code is generated will be kept on github.

What follows are


 * Places to look for project ideas: Feel free to add your own suggestions.
 * Full Project ideas: Add your own suggestions.

Sources for Project Ideas
Here are some links where you'll find ideas for your project.
 * IEEE DIY IEEE Hands On
 * Hackster.io
 * What's been tried.
 * The MagPi. Magizine for Raspberry Pi.  See issues 57 and 58 for interesting AIY projects.
 * MagPi Downloader.
 * Official list of Beagle Projects, there are many Beagle specific projects listed here. Many are inactive.  List your project here once it running.
 * Augmented Reality Project, here's an idea that I think we can do on the Beagle. Rather than using augmented reality glasses, I'd suggest we use a TI DLP pico projector. Here's AR running on the Beagle.


 * BeagleBoard/GSoC Google summer code ideas.
