A digital LED clock inspired by the building at 200 Water Street in Manhattan, that automatically synchronizes with the 60 kHz WWVB Signal. High Level Design Rationale: The purpose of this project was to design a digital LED clock influenced by the large clock on the building at 200 Water Street in lower Manhattan. Jason […]

Introduction For our final project we built a dynamometer that measures various performance characteristics of small electric motors, such as torque, rpm and efficiency. The final goal was to be able to produce a motor efficiency map like this one, but for this class project the goal was just to get everything designed and functioning: […]

Introduction When sailing a boat, one of the most important factors is the direction of the wind. If they want to keep a steady heading, sailors need to be able to dynamically adjust the direction they steer as the wind changes. Unfortunately, the ability to tell exactly which direction the wind is blowing can be […]

Introduction “A smart, wearable device for your pet.” Borkbit is a smart, wearable device for pets that helps owners track their pets from afar. As any pet owner can attest, being away from one’s animal friend is difficult. Today, an increasing number of people are living away from their families, working eight to ten hours […]

INTRODUCTION Attempts to understand and analyze environmental variables need data sets that track both temporal and geographical changes. These data can be collected using networks of recording instruments or instruments connected to commercially available data loggers (e.g., Silliman and Booth, 1993), but the cost of such networks is typically in the thousands to tens of […]

Introduction The goal of this project is to develop an electrooculography (EOG) system that can record potentials across a user’s eyes, and use the resulting signal to control a simple video game. An electrooculograph is a device that measures the standing potential across the human eye. In this project, we will use silver-plated electrodes to […]

INTRODUCTION   Sound Bite   A sleep quality meter that uses heartrate, breathing rate, and movement metrics to judge the quality of the user’s sleep. The What and the Why We created a system that monitors the quality of the sleep of its user. As busy engineers, we must make the most out of all […]

Introduction The purpose of this project was to create thermal images displayed on the TFT screen of the PIC32 using data inputted through a thermal camera. A thermal image is an image where the colors are representative of the amount of heat radiated by that location. We used a FLIR Lepton Camera that takes frames […]

Introduction Our final project for ECE 4760: Digital Design Using Microcontrollers is a portable keyboard digital synthesizer using the PIC32MX250F128B microcontroller. The PIC creates various sound effects using direct digital synthesis (DDS) and frequency modulation (FM) synthesis which can be modified using user input on our keyboard’s easy-to-use user interface (UI). Our synthesizer is also […]

Introduction The programmable IR remote controller is an IR remote control platform based on PIC32 that can record and resend the Infrared signal. To help users control programmable IR remote controller, an infrared wave server related to database and website is implemented in this project. Bluetooth module creates a bridge between PIC32 and server side […]
