Introduction The goal of this project is designing microcontroller operated drum set and guitar which are only consist of drums sticks, pedals, and pick. This is done by implementing accelerometers which are connected to the microcontroller. By swinging the sticks and picking the guitar in the air you can play drums and guitar. We also […]

Introduction We created a system that takes input from a piano and displays the musical notation for it on a television screen. The system uses hardware amplification and filtering of a microphone output with code in C compiled on two Atmel Mega644 microcontrollers. The basic tasks required are pitch identification, measurement of note duration, and

Introduction For our Final Project in ECE 4760, we built a controller that interfaces with a computer running a PowerPoint display through USB. The device can control slide transitions based on hand motions or button presses as well as play MP3 files when it detects people near the display. We chose to do this project

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 Navigation in the past has primarily relied on the use of a map, compass or other devices that must be interpreted visually. This project demonstrates the ability to navigate a user based on synthesized directional audio which allows the user to move to a known location without the use of a visual aid. The
