Optimizing Performance: A Guide to Stacking Precision Power Supplies

1. Introduction Statement of Purpose Our project selection stems from the recognition that power supplies represent a crucial and costly aspect of any electrical project. In an industrial context, numerous product test setups demand precision voltage references, but the acquired supplies often exceed the required wattage and come at a higher cost. Conversely, for hobbyists […]

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

Autonomously Hovering Quadcopter

Autonomously Hovering Quadcopter

We designed, constructed and tested an autonomous quadcopter that used an IMU to control its attitude and a radio to transmit data to a controller, which we also built. The project focused on making the quadcopter as autonomous as possible, so only high level commands such as flight time are sent from the controller to

PIC32 Racing Game

Introduction Our project is a racing game with human input control that emulates the act of driving a car. We decided on this project, as all three of us greatly enjoy playing games. The goal of the game is to cross the finish line in the shortest amount of time while avoiding obstacle collisions, which

Paintball Ballistic Chronograph

Paintball/Ballistic Chronograph

Create a low-cost Paintball Chronograph for less than $40! A ballistic chronograph is a device that records the velocity of a projectile. This particular chronograph I have made has only been tested with a paintball gun and it is relatively simple to make. I have also implemented a function that can record the rate of

Digital Controlled Linear Power Supply

Digital Controlled Linear Power Supply

In myteenage years, about 40 years ago, I created a dual linear power supply. I got the schematic diagram from a magazine called ‘Elektuur’, nowadays called ‘Elektor’ in The Netherlands. This power supply used one potentiometer for the voltage adjustment and one for the current adjustment. After many years these potentiometers did not function correctly
