Last February, I saw an RSS Reader implemented on an AVR ATmega8, which seemed impressive but was, in reality, just a serial-controlled LCD terminal. The general consensus was that it’d be cool if this were done without the requirement for the PC – this was the topic of my third-year project at university.
My Embedded RSS reader uses an Atmel AVR, on an Arduino development board, complete with Ethernet connection and a 4×20-character liquid crystal display. It connects to a network using DHCP to configure its own IP address before downloading the latest stories and displaying them.
I’ll update more about this project on it’s sandbox page as soon as I can.
