Introduction Wearables (Smart Watch) are becoming increasingly more prevalent in today’s markets; however cost continues to limit the demand for such devices. My project aimed at producing a smartwatch with comparable functionalities to those available today. While running a total cost of less than $100. The watch is outfitted with a 1.7 inch touch screen, […]

Sonification We created a system that can “see” colors in the environment and translate that data to interesting, fun musical instrument beats and patterns. Overview of the concept Sonification is the process of turning a collection of data into something that humans can hear. A common implementation is to map color, motion, or other measurements […]

The aim of this project is to send messages via Bluetooth using a web browser or smartphone to an LCD display that is connected to the STM32 board. 1. Introduction The project is based on STM32 Nucleo-144 which controls LCD display using BleuIO. For this project, we will need two BleuIO USB dongles, one connected to the Nucleo board […]

So this tutorial should show you how to get an analog input using a PIC microcontroller (I’m using a PIC16f887) in assembly language. You may have a demo board (which makes programming way easier) just a chip. I’m using just a plain 40 pin chip on a breadboard. Step 1: Hardware Setup -You will need […]

This project is a spin-off of another project I am working on and since there is a Remote Control 2017 contest on Instructables I thought I post this project. So if you like this project, please vote for it. Thanks. As you may know, I am a big fan of the Microchip 8-bit PIC controllers, […]

“Robot-Car: Design Fused with Obstacle Avoidance Technology” Recently, there is an intensive research undertaken in the field of intelligence robotics and autonomous mobile robot applications. Through the this project we wanted to explore this field by building a robot car that can potentially avoid the obstacles. This is a user controlled robot car that has […]

For our ECE 4760 final project, we designed and built a Lazer Duel game system involving two guns and a base station commucating over ultra low power RF tranceivers. We can shoot and detect shooting useing an IR emitter/receiver on the guns. The base station will coordinate the game by allowing two players to join and will end the game once a […]

Introduction In today’s world of rushed schedules, time is something a ton of people are in constant need of keeping track of. A very good method for keeping track of the time is to have a wall clock. But what if you want a clock that’s different from all the others, or something that will […]

Introduction Flying drones have a wide range of applications and are becoming more and more popular. With that in mind, we decided to construct a balloon copter capable of fluid navigation in any direction. At the same time, we wanted our design to be reliable and capable of carrying a substantial amount of weight so […]

For our final project we implemented a speech recognition eye test that is capable of performing the entire Snellen eye test on its own. It starts by displaying large letters and waits on the user to guess which letter has been displayed. The user speaks his/her guess into the microphone. The speech recognition portion uses […]
