This controller was developed using Renesas SKP16C62P Starter Kit Plus. Each remote controller is controlled via RF. There are four types of generic control: general purpose timer, sprinkler timer, cooler, and heater. Each Controller may have up to 4 stations, (the Sprinkler Timer may have 8 outputs by multiplexing the outputs). Each controller's program is loaded into the SKP from a Visual Basic GUI via a RS232 serial connection. The SKP display is used to show time of day, temperature, and status. The SKP switches are used to change the ...

This project, named as Bsensor, was designed to overcome a difficult task for a small mobile robot in indoors environment; to solve the absolute positioning problem with few computational resources. Several methods exists, but most require triangulation from several sensors and positioning is not easily calculated as it is required that the robot receive signals from different directions.This project is based on active beacons and a vision based intelligent sensor positioned in the robot to determine distance and angle from the beacon. The beacons, based on IR LEDs, are composed ...

The UniRoP is a small sized robot system which combines classical robot sensors, like infrared distance sensor, accelerometers with a CMOS camera. It is also possible to control the robot by radio. To illustrate the possibilities of the designed system a sample task uses the CMOS picture sensor as an object detector. Simple picture processing locates and follows a colored table tennis ball.The M16C microcontroller family from Renesas has a lot of computational power and a wide range of built in peripherals, so it is really difficult to find a ...

The project was designed to improve communication capabilities for deaf and blind. It converts the mechanism of hand sign language into alphanumerical characters, then assist users to show and to communicate with others through any forms of ASCII text. The system identifies 26 alphabets and 10 numbers of American Sign Language, then display on LCD and transfer them through RS-232 interface which these characters can be viewed on PC or hand-held device PDA.The ONLY right handed glove is made of fabric, and five sensor boards are mounted on the back ...
