Human Tetris — Video object tracking Using Atmega644

Leave a Comment / Using Atmega / By

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

Leave a Comment / Using Atmega / By

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 …

Evolving neural robot Using Atmega32

Leave a Comment / Using Atmega / By

Introduction Our final project in ECE 476 is a mobile robot with a developed neural network such that it evolves to avoid collisions into a circular vertical white wall while traveling at the fastest speed and straightest line possible without human intervention or external computers. The completion of this project required extensive capacity and application …
