I have returned to the workbench after a long time in 2004. Apart from a game-port custom
controller my last work was in the labs for logic design, microprocessor interfacing,
and microprocessor architecture.
My major is computers so the masters degree is going pretty uneventfull, specially when
I have a specialization “Software Engineering”.
Anyways I dived in starting with the famous 8051 microcontroller with a couple of variants
and after the initial testing phase, I am now ready to go to unchanted waters.
TODOs and Ideas:
* A microkernel operating system for 8051 family to ease my application development
* Phone logger, to keep track of complete land line log like mobile phones
and apply provider rules to calculate monthly bills
* Car tracking and utility system (variation of car pc for extremely low power requirements)
* Serial to LAN hardware which can be used to connect a serial modem to a router (wireless)
* Home automation system with support for infra-red remote (with possibility of bluetooth)

I can help you in hardware side for Bluetooth control, if you can help me on programming on mobile side.

Well, Its great, 8051, however is now too old, its better to come in the fast channel, with latest trends, although 8051 clones still being used in industry, but AVR, PIC and ARM are the leaders of todays technology. PIC is relatively more user friendly, as lots of software support is available in terms of good C and Basic compilers, Incircuit programming, Real time debugging and availability of RTOS.
