Introduction For our ECE 4760 Final project we have developed a traction control system that detects wheel slip and adjusts the velocity of the wheels accordingly. Robotic vehicles are becoming increasingly complex and often need high levels of movement control. Specifically, when the wheels of a vehicle begin to slip, it is optimal to adjust […]

INTRODUCTION Our project is a fart intensity detector which ranks fart magnitude on a scale from 0-9 according to sound, temperature, and gas concentrations. The inspiration for this project was to determine who could generate the worst flatulence measurable in a personally unbiased manner. To do so, however, requires measuring the intensity of these emissions.

Introduction The goal of this project was to create a portable GPS logger that could be wireless triggered by an external device, such as a camera. Our device that we have designed operates in two modes. The first works as a basic GPS logger, which records GPS position information at timed intervals. The second mode

Introduction The “Electric Etch” project takes the classic Etch-a-Sketch® toy and turns it into a non-volatile, continuous-line display capable of drawing the current time and text messages. On the classic Etch-a-Sketch, it is notably difficult to draw shapes by hand that involve elements any more complex than simple horizontal and vertical lines. That’s why we

1. Introduction We designed an intelligent alarm clock which can be programmed from the computer to speak custom messages and also detect whether the user is on his bed or leaving his room. Sensors are pervasive in industrial, aerospace, and medical fields. Although they can potentially enhance the common person’s everyday-life, they are still seldom

Introduction This project implements a high speed data acquisition system using Mega32 microcontrollers and a Controller Area Network (CAN). Recording data is essential to testing and developing a racecar. Recording what each sensor is doing can tell an engineering how the car is performing, and most importantly, how to make it faster. A well outfitted

Introduction The goal of this project was to develop a working bench-top microcontroller platform for a shark tag. It is to be used for on-animal, in-situ data logging applications involving sharks and potentially other large pelagics. For this project I used the Atmel Mega32 microcontroller to develop the core platform and functionality of a data

Introduction Sensing in autonomous vehicles is a growing field due to a wide array of military and reconnaissance applications. The Adaptive Communications and Signals Processing Group (ACSP) research group at Cornell specializes in studying various aspects of autonomous vehicle control. Previously, ACSP has examined video sensing for autonomous control. Our goal is to build on

Introduction Many digital artists draw with mice on computer or use tablets. However, tablets are often very expensive. Using the mouse is not always as accurate and one needs a steady hand. Our project attempts to create a lower budget alternative to the tablet that is easier to draw with. We use a stack of
