Whenever we hear about ECE 4760 we take notice. That's because a ton of fantastic hacked together projects have resulted from the class. It's offered at Cornell University and focuses on designing projects based on microcontrollers. We look at it as a 'how to connect everything to your microcontroller' guide. The good news for you is that 34 lecture videos from the Spring 2012 ECE 4760 class are now available (http://www.infocobuild.com/education/audio-video-courses/electronics/ece4760-spring2012-cornell.html) to watch for free online. When coupled with the course webpage itself (http://people.ece.cornell.edu/land/courses/ece4760/) (which outlines the reading, labs, and homework) this turns into an opportunity to work through the entire course on your own schedule.

If you need a brief preview, here's a couple random things we've seen as final projects from the course: a digital saxophone (http://hackaday.com/2012/05/07/two-saxophone-synthesizer-builds-for-the-price-of-one/) , a handwriting decoder (http://hackaday.com/2012/05/03/machine-learning-lets-micro-decode-your-handwriting/) , and a haptic feedback unit for building your biceps (http://hackaday.com/2012/03/25/weightlifting-coach-will-nag-you-about-your-form-at-least-until-the-batteries-run-dry/) .

We're still working our way through the Nand2Tetris project (http://hackaday.com/2012/10/11/programming-tetris-by-first-building-a-logic-gate-then-a-computer-then/) , but we're putting these lectures on our watch list for later.
