Faculty License project

"Simulation of an Artificial Horizon system necessary for aircraft piloting" This long and pompous title is the name of my License Project. More news to come after I finish my current Etch a Sketch project, all I can say is that it is going to prove quite a challenge...

Should I give OpenGL a chance?

Because of a school project, I am compelled to learn OpenGL. I think that it could serve my purposes just fine for this particular project, but as I will progress with more daring projects, which I hope will involve quite a bit of physics, OpenGL will not be a viable solution.

As a side note, I have come up with several other fun applications for this gizmo I am building, for example I could control a game of classic PONG.

Welcome

At the moment this is a concept idea, designed to educate the average student in embedded technologies.

Gadgets are the toys of the 21st century, and most of us wish there existed a special one, and wonder every day, why someone hasn't produced it yet, but in fact you forget that you have the power and the knowledge to build it yourself. All you need is a little guidance, and patience.

This is a blog oriented to the average student at a technical college, so it will contain a strong technical language. It will follow the progress with pictures, videos and if requested tutorials of how things were thought and/or done.

This is the first post in our journey, and hope for more to come.
