ANALOG LIGHT SENSOR + LIGHT SENSITIVE SWITCH USING OPT101

You may have seen many light-sensitive switch circuits based on an LDR sensor. Usually, the sensitivity of the LDR based light sensor is poor. We wanted a very sensitive light switch hence we decided to make a circuit based on a light sensor rather than LDR. After a little research on the internet, we found

LANMODO VAST PRO: NIGHT VISION SYSTEM WITH DASHCAM

So, today we have a real-world issue that you probably deal with too. A lot of people hate driving at night. It is darker, more monotonous, and difficult to see in a distance. Some people totally avoid it, sometimes even missing events they want to be a part of, just because the night drives make them feel

2-Axis Gesture-Controlled Camera Platform

Introduction For the ECE 4760 final project, we designed and implemented a 2-axis gesture-controlled platform for DSLR cameras. The platform can actuate a camera based on the orientation of the user’s hand with relative high accuracy and low latency. Our 2-DOF gesture-controlled platform can point the camera in any direction within a hemi-sphere based on

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

ECE 4760 Project: Kendo Sword Trainer

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
