Assignment 3: Make something visually interesting using a microcontroller

I created a miniature-scale simulation of Conway's Game of Life using the Tower system and a 5x7 LED array that would blink various patterns based on very simple rules of when a LED would turn on and off based on its neighbors. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to take pictures of the system before I cannibalized the parts for another project.

For my final project, I am using a PIC16F877 microcontroller for the data processing for my patient monitor. This PIC is responsible for handling the writes to the CF slot of the system to record the biometric data as well as handling the serial communication to the wireless tranceiver (see final project).
