It seems to me that many of the 'regular' contributors are very savvy in the art of embedded design. I was wondering just what projects they are doing, or have done in the past that are worthy of mentioning?
I think our readers might be interested in such works, and give the casual reader something to ponder: especially since they are taking advice from these 'regular' contributors.

Captain,
So far, I have only worked with stuff that does not explode (...): Printers, agricultural machines, compressors.
"compressors"
they certainly can explode...!

Andy,
Nice photo of you and your [wife?].
That is an nice quantity of uCs. (I'm an STM32 fan) What did they do? Any pictures of these widgets?

By sheer coincidence I have made a project (a rotary knitting machine) that involved 51 '51s. Otherwise the processor count has been 1-7
LED signs Amber and Color CDMA cell phones Leak detection system Remote terminals Postal Scales Densitometers Rotary knitting machine Automatic dosage of chemicals control for huge mixers (up to 3000 gal) Golf cart engine testing automation General industrial automation Dissolution meter

erik,
I find that many engineers don't like doing muli-processor designs. I have no problem with that, but the resistance to do it I find odd. Fifty one 8051! thats a lot.
My list includes:
Time and attendance terminals (of various complexity) Barcode reading (specifically the decoding of raw data) TCP/IP protocol stacks (from basic principles) Access control (from single door through to >500 door) Loads of loggers (temperature, pressure etc)
Including Z80, 6502, 8051 (numerous variants), V25, V55, 80x86, STR9 and now on the LPC3250.
"Time and attendance terminals ... Loads of loggers"
If you combined them for a firm of lumberjacks, could that be a logger's logger logger...?!
