Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science 6.111 - Introductory Digital Systems Laboratory Project Suggestions In past years, a great variety of projects have been successfully completed. The following is a list of some of these completed final project reports. All the project reports listed below are on file . You may sign out any one for an overnight loan or for reading in the lab. You are free to make a copy of part or all of a report if you want to keep it for a longer time. The best and most interesting of your project reports will be used to augment this list for future terms. It is often more satisfying to have projects which do something in addition to blinking LEDs. Examples are audio output, TV monitors, or VDT terminal displays. Be careful - most unsuccessful projects were too complex. We will help you to size your project appropriately. ?
