HONORABLE MENTION

A Stellaris-Based AIS Decoder

Ships with cargo weighing over 300 tons must broadcast their positions using the universal automatic identification system (AIS). This well-designed, LM3S811-based system decodes AIS transmissions in software. The transmissions are then transferred to a host system using the NMEA protocol.
