Welcome to DIY-Engineering - A new place to talk and learn about homemade engineering projects.
I will eventually set up a forum and keep you guys up to date on the latest developments on my homemade projects.
Right now I have a few projects I am working on:
Homemade laptop
MSP430 motor control
MSP430 Wireless board with Bluetooth, Zigbee, ANT+, microSD, and USB. (continuation of senior design project)
New FRAM enabled MSP430s (non-volatile RAM)
Homemade HD video projectors (completed but development is on-going)
FPGA projects
CUDA software
Custom circuit boards
Custom LCD kits (currently looking into higher-than-1080p and 3D polarized LCDs and chipsets from Pixelworks and ST-micro-electronics)
In addition to all of this, I just started a pepper farm with some Naga Jolokia peppers, so I might also sell some homemade hot sauce in the future, or at least show off pics of my garden.

I'm new to "Hot Sauce Engineering" but I think it could be pretty exciting. I just ordered more than 10 different seed packages for next year. Maybe if I make something neat I can have Blair mass produce it or something.

Also if you are interested in homemade video projectors, you can purchase some professionally designed custom ones right here.
See you guys later.
