Introduction: For our final project, we want to build a wireless drawing device. The user uses a keypad or a mouse to draw on the TV through a wireless communication medium (RF – 433.92 MHz). The user should be able to move the drawing pointer to anywhere within the four border lines. One should also […]

Introduction For our final project we decided to build a robot that could navigate from one location to any given target and avoid obstacles in its way. The robot body used a very primitive design that included a cardboard box for the body and Minute Maid wheel caps. A two wheeled design for the robot

Introduction We designed a multi-zone fire alarm system with a VT100-compatible user interface. The system is microprocessor controlled using the Mega32 microprocessor. The system communicates to the VT100-compatible user interface via a RS232 connection. A fire is detectable by a number of fire detection devices in each of as many as eight zones. High-level Design

INTRODUCTION For our final project, we designed a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) that could be used to gather information about the surface topography of metals and semiconductors at the sub-micron scale. The STM is controlled from a graphical user interface running on a PC. The user is able to set various parameters related to the

Adventures in TV land The goal of this project was to play a simple game outputted to a television via direct NTSC signal generation into a composite video input of a television. Obviously, the outputting of material to a television is the most challenging part of this project (and not one to be taken

The project which we are presenting is not the project we presented in our proposal. We initially planned to build a WWVB time-code receiver, which would demodulate a 60 kHz signal and extract an extremely precise time according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Unfortunately, due to a weak signal and noise

Introduction Our vehicle uses optical sensors to follow a line on the floor. Some autonomous vehicles used in manufacturing use a similar concept. Following magnetic strips embedded in the factory floor. The versatility of an optical design should be readily apparent. Since re-routing the vehicle requires no more than re-painting a line. High-Level Design Our
Introduction cars and vehicles have been integrated into society as one of the most efficient, easiest, accessible means of transportation available. But while it is a convenient and common means of transportation, it is also an incredibly dangerous mode of transport. Thousands of people die in automobile accidents each year, whether it is a collision

Introduction Using MPEG Layer-3 compression, 40 MByte audio files have been compressed to approximately 3.5 MBytes. With the wide availability of MP3 files via the Internet, portable MP3 players have become increasingly popular. MP3 players are currently available that utilize either Compact Discs, SmartMedia, Compact Flash, or a hard-drive as their storage medium. Our interest
