Gas sensors are employed in a wide range of applications in the fields of safety, health, instrumentation etc. Common examples are domestic/commercial alarms for explosive or toxic gases, or in automotive application as gas leakage detectors for LPG powered cars and exhausts detectors inside any fuel-powered truck/car. Such sensors, nowadays, are found also in [...]
The Plant Minder manages the watering process for an indoor plant. It monitors the moisture content of the soil using several capacitive sensors, and controls the speed and running time of a low volume pump to drip-water the plant from a water reservoir. It automatically adapts the pump run time to the soil conditions, [...]
The purpose of the high altitude rocket telemetry payload was to design and develop a flexible flight computer to be flown onboard reusable mid and high powered model rockets. Since these designs are to be flown on relatively small rockets, size and weight were of paramount importance to the payload developed. At the same [...]
This Logic Analyzer project allow you to monitors and captures a number of digital signals. It uses PC to display the data processing. The system consists of ATmega88-20PU AVR microcontroller as main processor and some simple components used for the interfacing with the PC, the man and the probes.
This is an embedded intelligence implanted into the automobile, a cognitive system that gives the vehicle some sort of an entity. The primary function of this entity is to assess driving attitude by keeping a watch on the driver stability both mental and physical, observing the driving patterns to arrive at a decision through a [...]
The Doggie 911 project is ATmega32 based system that help vets or dog owners to monitor the patterns of epileptic seizures in dogs. It will logs the number of seizures, the duration of the seizures, and the time between seizures. With this data, veterinarians can give better diagnose and treatment.
The goal of the project is to design and build an AVR ATtiny26L microcontroller-based model railroad car that helps locate and diagnose problems with your layout and track in order to improve the overall running performance of your model trains. The Diagnostic Track Inspection Car operates as it is pulled around the layout with a [...]
