For our design project, we decided to replicate the video game known as Scorched Earth: The Mother of All Games where two tanks fire missiles at one another by adjusting angles and power while adjusting for variable wind. The objective of Scorched Earth is to destroy the enemy tank before your tank is destroyed. Two […]

Introduction For my ECE 476 Design Project, I built Missile Command using the Atmel Mega 32 microcontroller. My version of Missile Command is based on Ataris 1981 version. After looking at some of the past ece476 final projects, I noticed no one had tried to build Missile Command. This game was one of my favorites

Introduction “Our 3D gForce Mouse will enable use to move the curser in the air freely with the capacity of scrolling” The rationale for this design is two fold. We wanted to do this design because we wanted to make a zero-impact pointing device for those with injury. We also wanted to implement this injury

Intro Summary Thinking about what a CDE (culminating design experience) should be, we devised a project that combines the microcontroller programming principles learned in ECE 476: Microcontroller Design with the control theory concepts learned in ECE 472: Feedback Control Systems to create an academically viable stationary helicopter. The device consists of a lever with a

Introduction Infrared (IR) Our project is an infrared (IR) tracking system. A beacon, placed on the object to be tracked, continuously emits infrared signals in all directions. The signals coming from the beacon are detected by 2 IR receivers mounted on 2 stepper motors, which rotate independently and are in separate locations. The direction each receiver

Introduction High Level Design After working with the ATmega family of processors for the first six lab assignments, and working extensively with generating television screen images, we decided that a video game would be a viable goal for a final project. While not as hardware-intensive as some projects, we decided that our experimentation with the
