Unexpectedly, I've the chance for a dream job as an embedded software developer. The application requires a code sample to be included with the CV. I have a very good experience in C. But unfortunately for different reasons, I don't have ready samples to be sent.



What can I write in, say, 5 hours or less that can be considered a good sample. I mean what ideas or small projects that can do the job? I'm really lost and don't want to miss the chance because of this.



I found ideas for projects for general programmer (i.e., not embedded) but didn't find ideas for code samples for embedded software position.



Any suggestions?

          Write a very simple application that pulls in weather data from various APIs.



          Write a very simple application that uses OpenSSL and other libraries for secure communication.



          Write a very simple application that receives input from an Arduino, calls out to a central API, and determines if the correct value has been entered.



          If you demonstrate your ability to use an API, a mind for security, and your ability to use existing libraries, you'll give a good showing.



          Whether you can do that in 5 hours ... that's up to you. I wouldn't be able to do that. But my C isn't as good as it used to be.
