Introduction Quite possibly the slowest and lowest resolution of any scanner on the market today, but it sure is mesmerizing to watch.. and it actually works! That’s about the best way to describe this behemoth of a project, which involved countless hours of building, gluing and scavenging for parts. The goal we strived for […]

Overview The SmartBlinds system uses a microcontroller to control the angle of a set of miniblinds used at home, in the classroom, or on the job. Using SmartBlinds, a user can more effectively control the light coming into the room, or have an alarm that opens at a specified time. We’ve noticed that despite the

1 Introduction The Keypaw is a 12-button input device that provides computer users with an ergonomic, fully-configurable alternative to the traditional QWERTY keyboard. The Keypaw is a microcontroller-driven device with 12 buttons mounted on two handsets; 1 button is provided for each finger, and 2 buttons are provided for each thumb. Pressing a button or

MP3 is presently a household term; the reader will likely own a few, barring any intervention from the RIAA. Since it’s not always practical to sit in front of a monitor and keyboard when you want to listen to music (e.g. in a car, on the couch, in the bathroom), we decided to create a

1. Introduction For our final project we built an ATmega32 based stepper motor controller which measures the angular position of the motor shaft using an optical encoder and quadrature decoder. Our system performs 3 basic functions: (1) Communicate with a PC by means of a RS-485 interface, and (2) Generates step and direction signals for

We have designed a programmable infrared receiver which can utilize any pulse coded IR signal to play Connect Four from a remote distance. The programmable infrared receiver device we have created can decode any pulse-width modulated signal of an IR remote control, store it in non-volatile memory, and then recognize that signal again the next

Introduction The main goal of this project was to write and develop a graphical version of the card game commonly referred to as Memory for use on an Atmel Mega32 microcontroller unit. Memory is a card game where the player tries to match pairs of identical cards together by only flipping any two cards over

Introduction If you are a music buff, then our sheet music generator will be the answer to your dreams. You plug in the instrument of your choice and as you play the keys our system will create the sheet music that attests to your musical genius. Although there are similar systems on the market. They

The project which we are presenting is not the project we presented in our proposal. We initially planned to build a WWVB time-code receiver, which would demodulate a 60 kHz signal and extract an extremely precise time according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Unfortunately, due to a weak signal and noise

Introduction The main incentive behind this project was to see how much I could cram, in terms of both hardware and software, into a wristwatch-like device that is no larger than the display itself. An OLED display was chosen for being only 1.5mm thick and not requiring a backlight (each pixel produces its own light),
