DESCRIPTION This project is to make a clone of Arduino Leonardo in a simple way.That is why the distribution of the pin does not match the standard Arduino (have to make many jumpers on the motherboard or use both sides). However, most Arduino Leonardo characteristics are maintained. The circuit is protected by an automatic reset fuse […]

Introduction With all focus of computer technology advancement placed on processors and memory, sometimes the most simple of components are overlooked. This is especially the case with the mouse, a device that has changed very little since its conception by Xerox. It still retains its basic shape and function in moving a cursor within a

We have designed a programmable infrared receiver which can utilize any pulse coded IR signal to play Connect Four from a remote distance. The programmable infrared receiver device we have created can decode any pulse-width modulated signal of an IR remote control, store it in non-volatile memory, and then recognize that signal again the next

MP3 is presently a household term; the reader will likely own a few, barring any intervention from the RIAA. Since it’s not always practical to sit in front of a monitor and keyboard when you want to listen to music (e.g. in a car, on the couch, in the bathroom), we decided to create a

Introduction Have you ever imagined, “What does that cable I plug into my iPod every day actually do, and how do I take advantage of it for myself?” We did too, and that’s what we aimed to do with our 476 project. The iPod is, of course, the popular digital music player developed by Apple. The heart of the project

Introduction This project implements a high speed data acquisition system using Mega32 microcontrollers and a Controller Area Network (CAN). Recording data is essential to testing and developing a racecar. Recording what each sensor is doing can tell an engineering how the car is performing, and most importantly, how to make it faster. A well outfitted

Introduction: Due to the increasing need for securing data and places, the biometric authentication industry is seeing large market growth. We decided to build a scalable, small, and efficient device that can be used to secure doorways throughout a complex. We use a FingerPrint Cards capacitance based fingerprint scanner as our capturing device. This data

Introduction Our project can be described as a simplified implementation of Wii-Music, utilizing a Nintendo Wii Remote (Wiimote) to play a gesture-based music game with the player as a virtual music conductor. We decided to do this project since it exploited two of the Wiimotes more peculiar features: its wand-like shape and the embedded 3-D

Our goal for this project was to build an OBD-II compliant device that would communicate with any OBD-II enabled car and read back real time data as well as perform basic performance testing and diagnostics. If you’ve ever had to take your car into the shop because of the dreaded “Check Engine” light, you can

Introduction This goal of this project is to make an effective, low-cost 3D scanner. Summary Our project implements the hardware necessary for a laser triangulation 3D scanner as well as a PC user interface for controlling the scanner and acquiring data via an Ethernet connection. Our scanner facilitates 360-degree scans through the implementation of a
