For the next month, I have essentially nothing to do, and I was interested in working on a project, preferably one that ties together engineering and coding. I'm a competent coder, but only have a little electronics or engineering experience. There's a hard limit of $350 for the project, though the cheaper the better.<p>I was thinking of building and coding a magic mirror[1], but I'd love to hear any suggestions you have!<p>[1]: http://michaelteeuw.nl/tagged/magicmirror
It's obviously a very personal decision. But I would point you in the direction of problems that need solving that aren't obviously tied to coding or engineering.<p>Maybe a few hours spelunking through the half bakery would yield some treasures that get your creative juices flowing.<p><a href="http://www.halfbakery.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.halfbakery.com/</a>
I saw this Magic Mirror at the Maker Faire, pretty impressive.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RFM5woK2LI" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RFM5woK2LI</a>
