USB Performance Monitor
http://www.waitingforfriday.com/index.php/USB_Performance_Monitor
The USB Performance monitor is a PIC18F2550 based device which shows the performance of your computer using two analogue meters and a RGB LED. The design is based around a stock Hi-Fi VU-meter which is controlled using PWM from the PIC18F microcontroller. This project was inspired by a friend of mine who wanted a way to move his computer's HDD LED onto the desktop. After toying around with sending Windows performance counters over USB via the Generic HID protocol I came up with the idea of using a VU meter I had lying around to build a full USB Performance Monitor.
The complete project details are available on my website.

Project details: http://www.waitingforfriday.com/index.php/Stylophone_Studio_5
The Stylophone Studio 5 is a MIDI controllable replica of the original 1968 Stylophone which used a PUT based relaxation oscillator (unlike the later versions which were 555 timer based). This video shows the features of the SS5 and features a soundtrack in which the Stylophone plays the melody, counter melody and bass line for the song 'Still Alive' from the Portal game.

http://www.waitingforfriday.com/index.php/PIC18F_USART_implementation_with_Go-back-N_ARQ
This video shows a demonstration of 2 PIC18F2550s communicating over a USART serial link. The communication stack supports flow-control, error-correction using CRC16 and a Go-Back-N ARQ sliding window mechanism. In the video you can see the Tx and Rx lines interrupted and the DTE and DCE being reset, the LED status indication shows the stack recovery mechanism in action. For more details please see the project page on my website.
