Introduction We have always liked playing with remote controlled (RC) cars, so we decided it would be fun to modify certain aspects of it. This led us to the idea of changing the remote control so that the car responds to different types of input. For our project, we modified the controls for an RC […]

Introduction Sound Bite We implemented a black-and-white video (TV) game adaptation of the old DOS classic known as Digger, by Windmill Software. Summary On the Game Start screen, a choice between a multiplayer mode and an AI mode is offered. The multiplayer mode supports three players simultaneously for the Digger and both Nobbins. In the

Our project is a digital voice recorder with distortion abilities that stores multiple tracks onto a DataFlash memory card. We programmed an Atmel Mega32 microcontroller to sample a microphone, and store the samples into an external memory source. We give the user the option of recording multiple tracks, and playing back any track at any

Introduction We constructed an analog-to-digital guitar that captures an input signal and uses the waveform zero-crossings to determine whether the note is at the correct frequency. The hope was that this frequency tuner could be used in a home setting where each of us can tune our own guitars.� While a great number of students

Introduction Our project is an electronic voting system. The system allows for quick and accurate voting electronically. The system uses a client/server architecture, which allows voters to cast ballots on the client terminal. Each client interfaces with the server, which keeps track of the entire system. High Level Design Our design is broken up into

Our System acquires several different sensor inputs, FM modulates each level by manipulating Direct Digital Synthesis increment values, transmits the resulting signal on a commercial FM radio band, and receives and decodes the original sensor levels. Introduction The problem of encoding multiple input signals into a finite bandwidth space is one that is common in
Introduction Sound Byte This project is a proof of concept diagnostic & testing board for use with the power board in the Cubesat Satellite and will be developed further to become a component of the CUSat Satellite. Summary of What We Did and Why This projects goal is to create diagnostics and testing hardware for

Introduction The project involves an experiment in implementing a human-computer interface by tracking finger and wrist motions. Brief: “Ever wish you could control a computer just by moving your fingers or your hand?” We did. The primary goal is to design and build a functional prototype implementing an intuitive interface for a user to interact

Introduction Laser communications systems are wireless connections through the atmosphere. They work similarly to fiber optic links, except the beam is transmitted through free space. While the transmitter and receiver must require line-of-sight conditions, they have the benefit of eliminating the need for broadcast rights and buried cables. Laser communications systems can be easily deployed

Introduction For our final project, we decided to build a digital message machine which displayed on a mirror. This is a variation from other digital message machines we had seen in stores and in past final projects. Instead of quickly moving a wand of LED’s to display the message on, we decided that holding the
