Introduction The purpose of this final project is to implement a microcontroller-based platform stabilizer. The major components of the platform stabilizer is an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and two 180 degree rotation servos. The IMU uses a combination of a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope to provide measurements of the platform’s motion and angular […]

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
Introduction For our final project, we built a system to aid in practicing kendo sword strikes by providing feedback to a kendo practitioner for improving their form. A set of three piezoelectric sensors on a helmet were used to detect the location and strength of the strike. Thus, the set of piezoelectric sensors would help

For those of you out there playing with the Wemos 32 LOLIN board I thought i would start to document some findings of mine so far. Current project is to interface to an ADXL345 accelerometer and as the photo shows above i have successfully connected it to the lolin and configured the ADXL as a

A bubble or spirit level meter, like the DIY Digital Spirit, is a handy tool to find whether a surface is horizontal or vertical. It is often carried by civil engineers, mechanical engineers, surveyors, carpenters, and many other professionals whose work involves precise alignments of horizontal and vertical planes.. Original spirit levels had two banana-shaped
