Our project is inspired by the commercial product, PicoDopp, which uses a similar scheme for foxhunting. Foxhunting is a contest where participants try to locate a transmitter, called the fox, simply by monitoring the signals it transmits. Typically this is done using highly directional antennas — antennas that only receive signals from one direction. However, […]

Customer’s Voice “Hello, I am interested in a race car logger than will be able to display and log crucial information during autocross and track events. I am interested in tracking vehicle speed, RPM, engine coolant temperature and lateral g-forces. Ideally, the data can be stored on a SD card which can later be read

Introduction Our goal was to build a brain-computer interface using an AVR microcontroller. We decided that the least invasive way of measuring brain waves would be using electroencephalography (EEG) to record microvolt-range potential differences across locations on the user’s scalp. In order to accomplish this, we constructed a two-stage amplification and filtering circuit. Moreover, we

Abstract My final project was the design of a digital saxophone which can reproduce the sound of an actual saxophone through digitally synthesized electrical waveforms. The digital saxophone consists of a microphone to sense the user blowing into a mouthpiece, push-buttons to control the note to be played, and the Atmel644 Micro-Controller which processes the

Our ECE 4760 final project was to create a virtual saxophone that uses Direct Digitial Synthesis (DDS) to synthesize the output notes. Pushbuttons are connected to a PVC pipe to mimic the saxophone’s mechanical structure, and a microphone that detects noise is used to determine whether or not the user is blowing into the device.

Project Overview We designed an electric piano that automatically composes a piece of music for the ECE 4760 final project. All the user need to do is to select a mood of the music and play two notes upon which the music is based, and then he can just lie down and enjoy the music

The Micro Kart 644 is a mobile device that provides additional capability to the traditional RC car experience. Allowable functions are recording multiple tracks, which consist of all user controls sent to the car over a 25 second interval, and replaying the tracks so the cars replicate the movements made during the recording. In addition,

Our project implements a touchpad input system which takes user input and converts it to a printed character. Currently, the device only recognizes the 26 letters of the alphabet, but our training system could be easily generalized to include any figure of completely arbitrary shape, including alphanumerics, punctuation, and other symbols. A stylus is used

Introduction Our project is a simple game where two players control tanks in a stage with the ultimate goal of destroying each other. User input is achieved through the use of keypads, which are used to both control the tanks and fire missiles at one another. The reason that this project was chosen was because

Introduction “A portable Glove Based Sign Language Translator with LCD Display, Speech Synthesis, and Sign Language Education Software” Sign language is a language through which communication is possible without the means of acoustic sounds. Instead, sign language relies on sign patterns, i.e., body language, orientation and movements of the arm to facilitate understanding between people.
