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 ] MIDI Drum Controller Our Final Project for ECE476 was to build a MIDI drum machine using the MEGA 32 microcontroller. We wanted to make an actual product that can produce “good-quality” percussion sounds. Our drum machine would be played via a keyboard or any sound card with MIDI support. The user would

Introduction The goal of this project was to build and implement an inverted pendulum balancer, in the vertical two dimensional plane, using Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) feedback control. The inverted pendulum balancer is a radio controlled car modified by adding a plexiglass platform and an inverted pendulum with free rotating pivot. The electrical component of the balancer

Introduction Our project is a Traffic Controller that is sensible to traffic condition and adjust the traffic lights accordingly. Our project tries to simulate the traffic at an intersection, and with the use of sensors (Hall Effect in our case), we adjust the traffic of the intersection base on both the waiting time at the

Introduction The project, Robodog?is an autonomous car that follows sound. The car can follow almost any audible sound that human can create by using three onboard microphones. This project was possible because of the fact that the speed of the sound is relatively slow compare to the MCU. We took apart an old remote control

Abstract Our project is a standalone temperature and fan monitoring and control unit for the PC. It uses the temperature readings to adjust fan speeds in order to regulate temperature and noise. The system is flexible in that it can be configured to be either completely autonomous, or set up to be configurable. It is

ECE 476 – Spring 2003Christopher Foster and Jeff Puchalski When Chris and I first started tossing around project ideas, I sputtered out: ‘Hey! Wouldn’t it be cool if we could emulate a Nintendo using some Atmel chips?’ Chris replied ‘Ooh, that’d be awesome, then I could play Ice Hockey and Final Fantasy 1 again!’After looking

I. Introduction This project is a portable battery-powered video game based on the 1984 cult classic PC game “Rogue”. I designed a hardware-based roguelike video game because I am a long-time Rogue addict and thought it would be cool to make a portable plug-and-play imitation. The project involved some basic hardware setup, including a Sega
