Do you have any other nice idea what could be realized with an Netduino?

if you want your students to also read/learn from the firmware source...? No !. I only want to use a board like this for some simple tasks like: - a DCF77 clock - an electronic keylock using a matrix keyboard (3x4 keymatrix, LCD) - a radio clock (MP3 player (VS1053B chip), radio (Silicon Labs chip), clock function, touchpanel) - reformatting NMEA strings from a GPS receiver

Hi Stefan, well I´want to order some boards (Not only Arduino like boards, also DSP boards) for some Trainees, Bachelor- or Diplomathesis. At the moment I try to write down some ideas for different tasks. To make it easier I want to use only 2 or 3 different board types.

Sorry, I'm confused. What do you mean by answer #1 ? As you have read it's not my thesis. I shall conceive a challenge for a trainee and/or bachelor student. So I work on differents themes with different complexity for different durations in between 3 to 6 month. First question: your thesis is over electronics or computer sciences? Is it electronics or computer science ? I don't know. Somebody will have to build the hardware (Layout ?) and also has to do the programming.

Thank you for the answer. I've found somewhere C# Code for a DCF77 clock in combination with the Netduino but I didn't looked at the code. So I know that this can be done in combination with the Netduino. It's not intended to build a releasable product. Maybe it's true that the Netduino is a overkill for this purpose but I don't want to supply x different plattforms. For me it's easier to conceive different trainee and diploma thesis on only two or three different platforms. So I think I will buy two or three Netduinos for trainees. At the moment I plan a DCF77 clock, a radio clock and an interlock. Do you have any other interesting ideas what you can realize based on an netduino ? It should be something what can be realized in between 3 to 6 month maximum.
