"intergrated projects" like.. ???

Mmmm...

You are a bit vague in your requirements.

Useful:
depends on what you need. eg a dog walking machine would be no good to me, whereas an automatic parrot cage cleaner would be useful.

Intergrated (sp):
Integrated into what?

Mostly rubbish:
most is not the same as all, so there must have been something of use/interest in what you found?

So, what floats your boat?

OK, a second bite at the cherry.

I guess this post is an extension of your "need help, urgent" post.
You speak of an unhelpfull teacher, you have my sympathies.

OK, projects which need a bit of electrical and mechanical doings.

An electronic weighing machine.
Problems to consider:
How to convert "weight" into an electrical quantity?
What if the load is unbalanced? ie heavier at one end (or corner).

A tracking device to make a solar panel face the sun.
Problems to consider:
How much error can you put up with? (1degree, 10 degrees, 30 degrees)
How powerfull would the motors have to be in a real one? (you would just build a small model).
Is the extra solar energy worth the cost/effort of the controller?

A device to water house plants when someone is away on holiday.
Problems to consider:
How to tell when the plant is dry?
How to know how much water to put on each plant and how often?
How to detect a system failure to prevent the house being flooded?

Anything else?

You found rubbish, because you are too vague.

An Integrated project can mean a project where components join into one unit.

Hey, wouldn't a lightbulb circuit count as an integrated project? after all, there are two things that join (integrate) into one. The battery, and the lamp.

Maybe you should look up "integrated" or "integrate" in the dictionary.

I Don't know about Integrated Projects, but maybe you mean Integrated Circuit Projects?

You might try some of my projects"

Maybe he means glue logic. Like 7400's and state machines and all that. :?

ok well thanx heaps for all these useful comments, it dosent matter what it is intergrated into, it just has to be intertgrated. and by useful i mean something that does something useful.......eg. more like a temperature sensor, rather than a pinball machine, which can be very fun but it dosent really do something for u......
