Story I have a nice “carranca” (or wall mask) from Chile that stands in my corridor. It’s a very beautiful decorative mask that I liked from the very first moment I saw it at the shop. Few weeks ago I wondered if I could bring it to life by adding a motion sensor and some […]

Introduction “An ultrasonic range-finding hat with variable haptic feedback for obstacle detection.” -Project Sound Bite For our ECE 4760 final project, we designed and implemented an ultrasonic range-finding hat that uses haptic feedback to alert its wearer about obstacles in his or her path. The hat is equipped with an ultrasonic transmitter/receiver circuit, which is

Rather than using an out-of-the-box capacitive touch solution for my projects, I thought I’d attempt making my own little breakout board. The idea is to use a sensor capable of triggering normal digital input pins using touch. This post covers the selected touch sensor IC, the circuit used, getting a custom PCB made and how

This project is an update to the previous dehumidifier based you can here: http://davidegironi.blogspot.it/2013/04/avr-atmega-dehumidifier-controller.html This update adds some usefull functions. The main issue that i’ve fixed is the microcontroller crash, that happens sometimes. I’ve noticed that sometimes the controller stop running, crash or doesn’t works as expected. After some experimets, i’ve noticed that probem was due

This is a magnetic levitator implemented using Atmega8 microcontroller. Magnetic levitation is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. To make a magnet levitate, an hall sensor is attached to a coil. The coil acts as an electromagnet, and the hall sensor measure the distance of the
