The goal of this project was to build a versatile, yet easy to use, sensor-triggered camera controller for high speed photography. Dan Furie (djf35) Scott Linderman (swl28) High Level Design Inspiration Our motivation came from photographs that captured a very small moment in time, such as a water droplet splattering from a faucet or a […]

Our one sentence “sound byte”… *POP* Finally, a fair and balanced way to score Tae Kwon Do matches without the moaning and groaning of everyone. The Electronic Hogu system uses piezoelectric force sensors to determine how much force is delivered by the impact of a strike. Using waveform analysis and analog-digital conversion, it is possible

Introduction The goal of this project was to develop a working bench-top microcontroller platform for a shark tag. It is to be used for on-animal, in-situ data logging applications involving sharks and potentially other large pelagics. For this project I used the Atmel Mega32 microcontroller to develop the core platform and functionality of a data

Introduction Was that a … projectile? a rocket? an [XXXXX] missile? That was a dynamically controlled parachute guidance system looking for its target. The purpose of this project was to design a dynamically controlled parachute guidance system using an Atmel ATmega32 microcontroller. A set of avionic hardware was built and software programmed in addition to

Objective and Background <> Objective: The gift of sight is precious; that is why we tried to model an artificial retina with the properties of color detection, saccades, and pursuit tracking. Structure of a Retina: A retina lies in the back of the eye and consists of a layer of photoreceptor cells called rods and

Introduction This project implements a system that translates Morse Code to text and speech and translates text to Morse Code. With our limited experience with Morse Code, our first task was to do some research on the components of Morse Code and the standards associated with it. After we familiarized ourselves with Morse Code, our

Introduction Many digital artists draw with mice on computer or use tablets. However, tablets are often very expensive. Using the mouse is not always as accurate and one needs a steady hand. Our project attempts to create a lower budget alternative to the tablet that is easier to draw with. We use a stack of

Introduction The Cornell University Autonomous Underwater Vehicle team (CUAUV) is an undergraduate engineering team that designs and builds a fully autonomous, robotic submarine. Over the past year, the team – of which both Manoj Lamba and Ian Wang are members – has had a stringent policy of testing the vehicle weekly at Cornell’s Teagle pool.

The purpose of this project was to take a traditional remote controlled car and create our own control mechanisms. To control the car, we used a dual-axis accelerometer and LEDs (light emitting diodes) configured as photo-detectors. The control mechanism was selected using a single pole dual throw (spdt) switch was wired in a single pole

Introduction A spotlight that follows you on its own! The ultrasonic spotlight tracker is a system that uses a wireless beacon to track a targets location using both RF signals and ultrasound waves. It then drives a light source to point at the location of the target. High Level Design The motivation for an
