Introduction The main goal of this project was to write and develop a graphical version of the card game commonly referred to as Memory for use on an Atmel Mega32 microcontroller unit. Memory is a card game where the player tries to match pairs of identical cards together by only flipping any two cards over […]

INTRODUCTION Sail the high seas searching for treasure and protecting your ship from pirates in a video game in which a system of lasers discerns the direction of wind and you specify wind magnitude, sail height, and rudder position. Originally, we had the idea of using lasers, half-silvered mirrors, and phototransistors to make a device

Introduction The goal of our project was to replicate the great arcade classic Pac-Man on television in black and white. The inspiration for this project came from our love of video games and our introduction to NTSC TV signal generation in Labs 3 and 4. We chose Pac-Man because it is a widely recognized classic

Introduction Sound Bite One word: FROGGER!! Why Frogger? We chose Frogger for several reasons. First, we believe that it is an entertaining game, which is complex enough to implement as a project. Second, Frogger allows us to use knowledge that we have acquired in this class about TVs and NTSC signals. Lastly, Frogger brings back

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
