The SNAKY project goal is to build a robot moving around using the same crawling principle of a snake. This 'fun robot' is made with a set of thirteen articulated sections and the angle between each pairs of sections is driven by a servo motor (so twelve motors), simulating the muscles of the snake. Each section have wheels in order to limit the friction on the ground but these wheels are free-running only : Motors are undulating the snake, not turning directly the wheels.Snaky also includes an ultrasonic sensor providing ...

The goal of the project is to use a microcontroller to regulate some larger household like home thermostat. The project will control the space heater to keep environment temperature is maintained near a desired set point temperature. By using a USB interface, the project can be controlled using Windows application. The system uses PIC18F252 as main processor, DS1307 as Real-Time Clock, and Texas Instruments' TMP101 as temperature sensor.The PIC microcontroller stores all of the temperature change entries as a table in its EEPROM memory, and keeps track of which is ...

The Simple Wireless Security System is a security system that includes a ZigBee wireless door sensor and a PC interface. The door sensor mounts near the garage doors, and it detects the open/closed state using reed switches and magnets. The Atmel Attiny45 microcontroller fits in nicely with design because of its small size, low pin count, low cost, and it has a powerful serial interface feature that can be set up as a UART – the required interface for the ZigBee module. When a door opens or closes, the Attiny45 ...
