LAWL-E: The Platform Stabilizer

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

Infrared Camera on the PIC32

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

RGB LED Love Heart

RGB LED Love Heart

This project creates a RGB LED lit love heart which is controlled by a PIC12F683 microcontroller.  I designed the project as a gift for my wife on our 15th wedding anniversary (since she puts up with my addiction to electronics I thought she deserved something in return!). The love heart is made from a 200x150x6mm
