IFF System for Infantry Using Atmega1284

Leave a Comment / Using Atmega / Tech Master

Introduction “An encrypted laser-based friend-foe identification system to prevent friendly fire in battle” This project implements an Identification Friend-or-Foe (IFF) system for use by soldiers to prevent friendly-fire. The inspiration for the project is derived from Identification Friend-or-Foe (IFF) transponder systems currently used on fighter aircraft and military vehicles. Fighter aircraft fitted with an IFF […]

Remote Controlled POV Display Using Atmega1284

Leave a Comment / Using Atmega / Tech Master

Introduction For our ECE 4760 final project, we designed and implemented a remote controlled persistence-of-vision (POV) display that is able to display multiple patterns based on remote input. The primary components of the display are a rotor and a motor. The rotor is mainly consisted of a row of LEDs and a microcontroller. The microcontroller

Flex Sensor Interfacing with AVR Microcontroller Using Atmega

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized, Using Atmega / Tech Master

In this tutorial we are going to interface FLEX sensor with ATMEGA8 microcontroller. In ATMEGA8, we are going use 10bit ADC (Analog to Digital Conversion) feature to do this job. Now the ADC in ATMEGA cannot take a input more than +5V. What is a Flex Sensor? A FLEX sensor is a transducer which changes its resistance when its shape

AVR-based Sensor Keyboard Using Atmega

Leave a Comment / Using Atmega / Tech Master

A modern microcontroller has almost everything that’s needed to implement a touch sensor matrix. There are several sensing technologies: IC manufacturers typically advise using certain tech, sometimes they offer ready to use hardware- or software-based solutions. I was curious to try to implement a sensor matrix entirely from scratch all by myself. Here’s how it

Snake Arm Glove Project Using Atmega32

Leave a Comment / Using Atmega / Tech Master

Introduction For our project, we designed a glove that can be used to control the Cornell University robotic Snake arm thereby enabling a surgeon to remotely operate the snakearm as a colonoscope in conjunction with a vision guide system (aka TV goggles). The glove allows for movement of the arm’s segments as a whole and
