Ultrasonic Haptic Vision System

Ultrasonic Haptic Vision System using Atmega644

Introduction The ultrasonic haptic vision system enables a person to navigate hallways and around large objects without sight, through the use of an ultrasonic rangefinder that haptically interfaces with the user via tiny vibrating motors mounted on the users head.  The idea behind this project was to construct a sixth sensory system that interacts with …

Automated Pavlovian Classical Conditioning of Insects Using Atmega644

Introduction Several studies have shown that various insects possess learning and memory abilities. One approach researchers use to demonstrate such abilities is to “teach” the insect to exhibit a specific behavior in response to a stimulus. This “teaching” process is called Pavlovian conditioning. Such studies are often difficult to conduct because they require accurate timing …

Human Tetris — Video object tracking Using Atmega644

We have created a real-time video object tracking / shape recognition device, and a fun game library to demonstrate its abilities. For our project, we wanted to push the video sampling and processing capabilities of the ATmega644 8-bit microcontroller. Using a high-speed analog-to-digital converter as an input device, we were able to sample a reasonably high-resolution grayscale image from a …

RFID Based Attendance System

RFID Based Attendance System – Circuit, Working, Source Code Using Atmega

Attendance in colleges is generally paper based which may sometimes cause errors. Taking attendance manually consumes more time. So the proposed attendance system uses RFID technology to take attendance. In this system, each student is issued an RFID tag. Controlling unit is in the institute. Whenever the card is placed near the reader, it will …
