How To Use PIC Microcontroller For Voice Input And Output

Microcontrollers are purely digital devices which work on logic0 and logic1 voltages; still they are widely used for analog signal processing. There are specialized signal processors chips available which are custom made for particular applications; however a general purpose microcontroller is more than enough for small kind of signal processing applications like audio signal input […]

A Programmable Home Automation System

Introduction The PIC Mesh is a distributed programmable network capable of building motion sensitive alarm systems, automatic lighting, door alarms and various other home automation systems in a matter of minutes. In this project, we built a mesh network of PIC32 devices using low-cost, low-power nordic radios. We modified an existing nrf24 library to support targeted and

Green Charger

Introduction Have you ever gone to the beach on a hot summer day with your family only to complain that your phone is so low on battery that you can’t even take a selfie? Have you ever been concerned that you’re not putting on enough sunscreen, or sunscreen that isn’t strong enough? Have you always

EOG-Controlled Video Game

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

A recording studio for the PIC32

Introduction We built a miniature recording studio using the PIC32 that allows the user to record a short soundtrack, play it back, then layer on additional sounds. We chose to support sounds for three tonal instruments: piano, guitar, and bass, as well as eight unique drum sounds. The user can play a full octave on

Pic32 Oscilloscope

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

Web Controlled Multifunctional Car

Introduction In our final project, we have built a multi-functional car controlled by a web application on the PC, which allows users to drive the car as well as play music from the interface on the website. All the requests from the website are collected by JavaScript and the runtime environment Node.js serves to transmit the command via Bluetooth

Happy Little Mixer

Introduction The Happy Little Mixer is an automatic ink mixer which accepts a hex user input and creates that color by measuring out cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) ink. It includes open-loop feedback using a color sensor to correct the generated color, making it as accurate as possible. High Level Design We wanted to
