Introduction: MIDI Synthesizer Our Final Project for ECE 476 was building a MIDI synthesizer using a MEGA 32 microcontroller.  At first we wanted to tear apart an old keyboard and use the MCU to decode directly from the sensors which detected key presses.  We then learned about the MIDI protocol and decided to use the […]

Introduction: We like car and we like to build our own Atmel Mega32 MCU based radio-controlled NSX. We set three goals in the initial project proposal and they are as the following: (1)  Build a RC NSX with the same performance as the original car. (2)  Add extra features such as headlights and brake lights. […]

Introduction As you can see from the title, our project, in a nutshell, is a Sound Effects Processor (for the lack of a better name), which is capable of taking an audio input, adding effects to it digitally and passing an analog output to an amplifier. Fig 1. Joel(left) and Jeremy(right), the architects of The […]

Introduction : For our final project, we decided to create the classic game of Battleship that was displayed on a TV and controlled by keypad inputs. We both enjoyed playing the board game when we were young and we occasionally would do battle against each other online while at university. So we thought, why not […]

(Phys.org) —A small team of researchers with members from several countries has identified the oldest known instance of a type of mite fossil. In their paper published in the journal Biology Letters, the team describes how they obtained a piece of amber with an ant embedded inside of it along with a mite that was attached to the ant’s head, and what their work revealed.

Introduction: For our project, we designed a wireless keyboard that uses RF to transmit signals to the computer. In our design, we use a regular, 102 key ps/2 keyboard and connect it to our transmitter circuit. On the computers side, we connect our receiver circuit to the ps/2 port on the back of the computer. […]

Introduction For our final project, we have decided to build a minesweeper game with a microcontroller and a PS/2 mouse to be displayed on the TV. Minesweeper is a famous game that comes with the MS-Windows operating system, and the objective of the game is to determine the location of mines on the board. Minesweeper […]

The Information Technology Research Institute of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology has developed a technology with which once an environment to perform high-performance computing has been established, a virtual cluster-type computer can easily be built on a different cloud and made available for immediate use.

INTRODUCTION The DomMeter is a car performance meter that measures acceleration to compute values important to car enthusiasts. Specifically, the DomMeter calculates the 0-60mph time, 0-30mph time, 0-100mph time, quater mile, eighth mile time and braking time, the max acceleration during that interval, distance travelled in feet and max horse power generated (after drag, roll […]
