Thermoelectric Energy Harvesting – Energy Harvesting | DigiKey
Motor driver with MSP430 eval board
6 axis MEMS sensor that does some of the preprocessing
Product: ST Electronics introduced a 6-axis sensor that actually does some analysis of the sensor data, freeing the host processor from continually having to poll the sensor. Part # is LSM330.

Boost charger for energy harvesting
Many energy harvesting sources generate very low voltage and/or current. The link below is for a TI product that boosts the voltage to useful levels.
Wifi to servo or A/D
This device allows you to use wifi to control servo’s and/or read from A/D
A touch screen with dynamically alterable surface
Field programmable analog circuitry.
Anadigm® makes a field programmable analog array that allows for dynamic synthesis of analog circuits (much as an FPGA does for digital circuits). This might be useful as a general purpose signal conditioner – or perhaps used with a genetic algorithm for analog circuit design.
49$ Android Computer
APC has developed a 49$ Android computer. This might be an interesting platform for an embedded system for somebody who wants to learn app development on an Android system. It should have very powerful low level control of hardware and a very nice user interface.
