Energy-harvesting power management ICs for wireless sensor nodes

Leave a Comment / Electronics News Updates /

Cypress Semiconductor has introduced what it believes to be the lowest-available-power PMICs that enable an integrated module size of 1 cm² for solar-powered wireless sensor node (WSN) designs. Intended to manage solar-powered wireless sensors for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, these parts are said to be the lowest-power, single-chip Energy Harvesting PMICs, and can be […]

Distance Measurement using Infrared Sensor with ADC0804 & 8051 Microcontroller

Leave a Comment / Electronics News Updates /

Summary This project primarily consists of four units: Microchip Technology’s SST89E54RDA-40-C-PIE, a sensor unit, an ADC0804 ADC component and the LCD module. Along with detecting an obstacle, its exact distance is also calculated and displayed on a 16×2 LCD interfaced to the microcontroller. The IR receiver detects the IR radiations reflected by the object being

Working with TWI (I2C) sensors / Devices

Leave a Comment / Sensor - Transducer - Detector Projects /

Introduction The I2C is a multimaster, multislave serial single-ended computer bus and was invented by Philips in 1982. The atmel microcontrollers use a compatible  to I2C serial bus that is named TWI (Two Wire Interface). The  TWI supports serial communication at 100 kHz and 400 kHz. The master and slave devices that are connected to TWI bus

Digital Temperature Sensor Circuit

Leave a Comment / Temperature Measurement Projects /

Temperature sensors are widely used in electronic equipments to display the temperature. You can see the digital clock displaying the room temperature value. It is due to the temperature sensor embedded in it. Generally, temperature value is analog. It is converted to digital value and then it is displayed. This article describes the same converting

Scan-E: An optical blood pressure sensor Using Atmega1284

Leave a Comment / Sensor - Transducer - Detector Projects /

Introduction For this project, we created a noninvasive heart rate and blood pressure measurement tool with the intention of gathering data for large-scale analysis for the automatic prediction of heart disease. In modern society, patients often have access to a wealth of electronic data concerning their social networks and surroundings, but have little personalized insight

Rock-Paper-Scissors Sensor Gloves Using atmega644

Leave a Comment / Game - Entertainment Projects /

For our ECE4760 final design project, we designed and built a two player game system for rock-paper-scissors. Our implementation involved the use of two sensor gloves (one for each player) that tracked bends in the user’s fingers, to determine the symbol put out by each player, as well as hand acceleration, to track the start

ACL Research: Foot Acceleration Sensor Atmega324p

Leave a Comment / Sensor - Transducer - Detector Projects /

Introduction This project was designed to aid a research study by Cornell Professors Bob Nafis and Yingxin Gao on the reasons behind the higher rate of ACL injuries suffered by female athletes. This injury rate can be up to three to eight times higher than the rate of similar injuries suffered by male athletes. The

High Speed Photography Controller Using Atmega32

Leave a Comment / Sensor - Transducer - Detector Projects /

The goal of this project was to build a versatile, yet easy to use, sensor-triggered camera controller for high speed photography. Dan Furie (djf35) Scott Linderman (swl28) High Level Design Inspiration Our motivation came from photographs that captured a very small moment in time, such as a water droplet splattering from a faucet or a
