Interface with a microcontroller from a web browser, using HTTPS and a simple Python server. Story I love microcontrollers. I also love controlling hardware remotely, say, from another room of my house. The idea of being able to do this through a browser, like from my laptop or phone, rather than from an ssh console. […]

The basic idea of this 4760 final project is to build a GPS navigator for runners who are new to their neighborhood. For example, if someone is new to Cornell University, College of Engineering, and wants to run around the engineering quad every day, this runner Navigation system have the following functions to ensure that

Introduction: Bringing games played on 2-dimensional screens into 3-dimensional space. When games are played on flat 2-dimensional screen, it greatly limits the player’s interaction with the game. It simply kills some of the exciting aspects and new possibilities within the game that we might be able to see in higher dimensions. In this project, we

Introduction For our final project, we created two demonstrations utilizing direct memory access (DMA) in a graphics setting. Our original intent was to implement the video game DOOM on the PIC32, however that proved to be an undertaking too large given the time constraints of the project. Our preliminary exploration of implementing DOOM on the

Introduction Fighting games are rising in popularity around the globe. However, a consistent barrier to new player entry has been the difficulty of the inputs. Rather than pressing a single button for attacks and moves, fighting games often require complex frame-perfect combinations of buttons to perform combos necessary to compete at even basic levels. Many

Introduction We have created a game based on the principles of the boids algorithm introduced in Lab 2. The game involves two players standing in front of a projector screen full of boids, each player taking on the role of a predator and using a laser pointer to control the predator’s position. The object of

The purpose of this project was to create an electronics kit for teaching entry level programming of embedded systems. The kit includes a development board, external hardware modules, software, and teaching materials. The hardware modules consist of a LCD display, Keypad and various user I/O. These modules were then incorporated into lessons for creating several

Overview In the last two decades, the rapid development of IoT has made numerous applications available in our daily lives. One of the crucial elements when planning for an IoT (Internet of Things) deployment for collecting data and conducting analysis is where you want the storage and computation to happen. There are generally two options
