For our ECE 4760 final project, we designed and built a running band that provides feedback to users with temperature and vibration. This provides an unique way to monitor running habits with temperature feedback. The running band attaches to a user’s upper arm and counts the number of steps the user takes. It then determines […]

In some cooking scenarios, it is desirable to achieve a specific object temperature and keep the object at that temperature. However, it is difficult to maintain a constant temperature without constant attention. To aid cooking in this scenario, we created a device that can be added to an electric stovetop or hot plate and serve

Introduction This project was the first stage of developing a controller for a radiant floor heat system. The microcontroller will use inputs from thermostats, thermocouples, a flow meter, and pressure switches to control the operation of the pumps and valves to achieve improved efficiency of the system as a whole. This project idea came from

INTRODUCTION The DomMeter is a car performance meter that measures acceleration to compute values important to car enthusiasts. Specifically, the DomMeter calculates the 0-60mph time, 0-30mph time, 0-100mph time, quater mile, eighth mile time and braking time, the max acceleration during that interval, distance travelled in feet and max horse power generated (after drag, roll

Introduction The goal of our final project was to design a thermostat using an Atmel AT90S8535 microcontroller. The thermostat was to compute the current temperature once per second and then send an on/off signal to a heating device which would then regulate the temperature to a desired target temperature. In addition, the thermostat was required
