INTRODUCTION Our Smart Station hardware consists of a PIC32MX250 microcontroller with a 3.5mm jack for speakers, a TFT display, keypad, NeoPixel LED ring, microphone, and a host of I2C environmental sensor breakouts: i.e. accelerometer, temperature, humidity, and luminosity sensor breakouts. All of the electronics are neatly contained within a 3D printed casing. Our Smart Station […]

Introduction For this project, we constructed an oscilloscope using the PIC32. The inspiration for this project came from the oscilloscopes we used in lab throughout the semester. These oscilloscopes allowed people to view and understand the behavior of a circuit. Without oscilloscopes, many of the circuits we built in class would have been extremely difficult […]

Introduction Our project was creating a rubiks cube solving robot that utilized image processing, Kociemba’s algorithm, and servos acting as claws/arms to turn the cube. We had a goal of being completely self contained and would not need any human interaction after the initial cube placement. In order to achieve this, we needed a way […]

Online summer camps for children are not always a depressing substitute for the “real” thing. Kids can engage in a lot of the same activities they would in online summer camps. They can enhance their academic performance, meet new people, and discover interesting things. Online courses may offer a slight advantage over on-site camps in […]

INTRODUCTION: The Constellation Glasses allow you to find out what you are looking at in the night sky with the click of a button. On one side of the glasses, there is an accelerometer- magnetometer mounted, which allows us to determine the position of your head. In a separate box, connected to the glasses by […]

Introduction  Our team being excited by the recent trend towards more active forms of entertainment, such as those provided by motion-control systems and virtual-reality headsets, set out to create a similar type of device. We were further inspired by the games Rhythm Heaven and Dance Dance Revolution, in which the different physical inputs made by the player worked […]

The Mission We knew that this would be tough. There’s a reason all of the drones you see on sale today have four motors, and that’s because they’re naturally much more stable than a drone with two motors and they’re overall more fun and practical. However, quadcopters are still very unstable and could not be […]

The idea of the project was to create a useful and commercial product for winter sport enthusiasts. We both love skiing so we wanted a product that could provide us with information and a way to visualize our skiing behaviors. The initial idea that we wanted to create was a skiing HUD with responsive voice […]

INTRODUCTION Sometimes it is difficult to judge the ripeness of fruit visually, or we simply forget about our fruits until they are rotten. By using spectroscopy to monitor the change in the color of fruits, this device can track the ripeness of a variety of fruits including bananas and oranges. The system consists of a […]

Introduction: We created our own version of Guitar Hero which can play any song that has a MIDI file by using our custom controller and UI. We are big fans of the original Guitar Hero game, but felt limited by its inability to only play a set of songs. We came up with the solution, Guitar […]
