Introduction: The purpose of this project was to extend the Mixed Signal AVR simulator written in Fall 02 so that any single-issue microprocessor could be included in the simulation environment rather than limiting the simulations to systems based around ATMEL AT90S8515 series microcontrollers. In order to achieve this goal, a general architectural description language (ADL) […]

I. Introduction The Cornell University Airmouse Initiative is a motion sensing glove with buttons on it that plugs into your computer to function as a mouse. Many tasks that are performed on the computer require the use of both a keyboard on the mouse, and many people find it frustrating and awkward to have to

Introduction We have created a real-time, multithreaded, preemptive operating system called kaOS for the Atmel Mega32 microcontroller, which loads and executes programs from a Secure Digital or MMC card.We wrote this OS and created the SD/MMC card reader as a final project for Cornell’s ECE 476 class taught by Professor Bruce Land. Our reason for

Introduction and Motivations: For our final project, we designed and built (and exhaustively tested) an RFID-based proximity security system for use with Cornell Identification cards, which have been RFID-embedded since fall of 2003. The idea for this project was sort of spawned from our general interest in RFID technologies and the near-simultaneous occurance of Lab

Introduction Our project consists of making a reflow soldering device using a normal toaster oven with a graphical LCD display for control and GUI. Soldering is an important and difficult task for custom printed circuit board design especially for integrated circuits that come as chip packages that are impossible to solder by hand. This is

Introduction: My project is a self-powered solar data logger. Put out in the sunlight, it will measure the light level and log this to memory to be later downloaded to a computer. The system is powered by a small solar panel and battery. Summary: The solar logger I built uses a photodiode to measure the

Wall of Pong is a fast-moving, interactive, laser-based pong game playable on any flat surface. The system uses a digitally controlled laser projection platform to draw a pong ball onto any flat surface. This allows for a large playing area that can be set up almost anywhere. Hand held paddles with embedded sensors are given

Introduction In this digital age, new interfaces for musical expression provide much broader musical possibilities than have ever existed before. There is a constant quest to be in harmony with one’s instrument so that music can flow freely from the imagination and take form effortlessly. This sparks an interest in new ways to interact with

Introduction It is becoming increasingly difficult for users to interact with the slew of portable gadgets they carry, especially in the area of text entry. Although miniature displays and keyboards make some portable devices, such as cell phones and PDAs, amazingly small, users’ hands do not shrink accordingly. To solve this problem, we proposed a
