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 […]

INTRODUCTION In our final design project for ECE 476: Microcontrollers, we decided to build a vehicle controlled, using accelerometers, by a remote control that wirelessly transmits, using RF technology, data to the vehicle to move in any direction. The accelerometers will be mounted on a steering wheel shaped remote control, such that if the user

Introduction: The basis of this project is to create the game fish on the Atmel board. In the game fish, the big fish eat the small fish, so your job is to eat the fish smaller than you while not getting eaten by those bigger than you. You �eat� a fish by moving close enough

Abstract For a final project for EE 476 at Cornell University under the instruction of Bruce Land I designed and built a fertilizer flow rate control unit tailored to the needs of Lin Davidson. Instead of conventional mechanical drive methods, the delivery rate was controlled through the use of an Atmel AT90S8515 microcontroller. Ground speed

Overview: We decided to build transmitter and receiver modules for a radio-controlled (RC) car, as well as implement variable-speed motor control and a continuous steering function. The simple speed controls included in most RC kits seldom offer more than three forward speeds and one reverse speed; furthermore, steering controls in most “Radio Shack” toys only

Welcome the new Arduino – the Esplora ! It’s shaped like a game controller, and it’s designed to be used out of the box as it comes with many sensors and actuators already on it (you can add a couple of extra ones). In more detail, the Esplora combines a light sensor, a temperature sensor, a 3-axis accelerometer, a joystick, a set of pushbuttons, a slider, an RGB LED, and a buzzer, together with a Arduino-compatible processor (ATmega32u4).
