AVR Based Rocket Telemetry Payload

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 02:20:56 +0000

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 [...]

Low-Cost AVR Based Logic Analyzer

admin — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 03:19:46 +0000

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. The measuring instrument supports 8 input [...]

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. Steve Lubbers, the project designer, said [...]

Model Railroad Automated Track Inspection Car

admin — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 23:23:04 +0000

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 [...]

Traffic Signal Light Stock Sign

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 22:36:34 +0000

This project presents a unique way of tracking the performance of your stock portfolio. It uses an actual traffic signal light and lights up red, green or yellow depending on how your stocks are doing, with results updated every minute. An Atmel AVR ATmega128 microcontroller is paired with an Ethernet controller to provide connectivity to [...]

Septic Holding Tank Monitor

admin — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 00:41:11 +0000

The purpose of the project is to monitor and display the water level in a 3000 gallon septic holding tank. The system consists of two main parts: the sensor unit and the display unit. An ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the water level in the tank. It has an analog output that is proportional to [...]
