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 […]

Introduction The objective of this project was to build a keyboard based on capacitive sensors and then use the MCU to create MIDI encodings for all notes played. The output from the sensors is detected by the MCU using its ADC capability. The sound is played directly by the MCU via a piezo speaker using

Introduction cars and vehicles have been integrated into society as one of the most efficient, easiest, accessible means of transportation available. But while it is a convenient and common means of transportation, it is also an incredibly dangerous mode of transport. Thousands of people die in automobile accidents each year, whether it is a collision

This project is about building a PC-based temperature and relative humidity logger using the chipKIT Uno32 board and the DHT11 sensor. The project setup requires no additional wires (other than the USB cable) and components; the DHT11 sensor is directly plugged into four I/O pins of the Uno32 board and the project is ready to

Humidity can be measured by various sensors, but sensors SHT from company Sensirion add many benefits moreover. To be exact, a word „sensors“ is not a suitable expression in this case. As SHT series sensors contain on one chip humidity and temperature sensor, precise supply, low noise linear amplifier, AD converter and a serial interface,
