<Introduction> In the last few decades technology has constantly pushed music further and further into the digital realm. Digital technology has infiltrated all aspects of music-making, from its creation to its recording, editing and production. We have decided to join this technology movement by fitting it to our taste. Since both of us enjoy playing […]

Introduction Soundbyte TV Jezzball with dangling mouse, created by Cornell ECE476 students Arthur Zhang and Yewen Ying, is a hot, new, cool, retro look back to when times were simpler, computers were slower, and TV’s were black and white. Overview From the beginning, because of our interest in computer games, we wanted to make a

Color TET Brief DescriptionThe project is a color “Tetris” based game compatible with NTSC TV. Summary and motivationThe project basically utilizes a Mega32 chip, along with a RGB-NTSC converter and a sync generator to produce color on a standard NTSC TV. The code for a “Tetris” type game is then written using the AVR CodeVision

Introduction Our project was a real-time weather update system that accepted an airport code from the user via a keyboard, looked up the code on an internet database, and displayed the resulting weather information on a television screen. We used the PS/2 protocol, between a standard keyboard and an Atmel Mega32 chip, to decode the

Introduction Our project consisted of an elementary eight neuron network that used Hebbian Learning to train a robot to respond intelligently to input light stimuli. First, we decided upon a task that would accurately denote Hebbian learning. One of the most common examples of conditional learning such as Hebbian learning is seen in Pavlovs experiment

Introduction This project implements a wireless surface electromyograph that displays the signal using a television as an oscilloscope. Electromyography detects the electrical signals that the human body generates to contract muscles. Detecting very low voltages in the milliVolt range on the skin surface is not a trivial task. As shown in figure 1, EMG signals

1. Introduction For our final project we built an ATmega32 based stepper motor controller which measures the angular position of the motor shaft using an optical encoder and quadrature decoder. Our system performs 3 basic functions: (1) Communicate with a PC by means of a RS-485 interface, and (2) Generates step and direction signals for

1. Introduction Brian Smith and Cem Ozkaynak, two Seniors enrolled in ECE 476 at Cornell University, seek to rekindle the mood of impending nuclear annihilation by distant ‘Evil Empires’ through the classic 1980’s video arcade sensation Missile Command. Given the harmonious state of international affairs today and the resounding love for America throughout the world,

[ INTRODUCTION ] MIDI Drum Controller Our Final Project for ECE476 was to build a MIDI drum machine using the MEGA 32 microcontroller. We wanted to make an actual product that can produce “good-quality” percussion sounds. Our drum machine would be played via a keyboard or any sound card with MIDI support. The user would

Introduction The project, Robodog?is an autonomous car that follows sound. The car can follow almost any audible sound that human can create by using three onboard microphones. This project was possible because of the fact that the speed of the sound is relatively slow compare to the MCU. We took apart an old remote control
