AVR Security Keypad Lock

admin — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 04:20:37 +0000

The Security Keypad Lock Project is a basic access control system based on ATtiny2313. It can be modified to protect just about anything. The “Code Lock” ability will allow the rightful user to deploy the platform to any property that requires simple password-protection.The “AVR” RISC microcontroller used ensures low costs. Possible applications may include: [...]

Generic Finite State Machine Interpreter

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:12:34 +0000

A Finite State Machine (FSM) is a versatile mechanism to implement sequential digital circuits. This project implements any desired FSM using the Renesas microcontroller instead of flip-flops and logic gates. The system has a PC based GUI interface where the user can represent the required FSM using a simple State Transition table or a State Transition [...]

This M32C/84-based office message board project allows you to display a preprogrammed message like “do not disturb”, “in the Lab”, “At Lunch” etc on the LCD positioned at the door. The project has a keypad which is placed on a desk. On this keypad there are 15 buttons and 6 LEDs for control and [...]

Stair Stepper Control Adapter

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 00:39:43 +0000

The aim of the project is to build an interface between the user interface controller and resistance mechanism on a stair-step exercise machine. This M16C/62P microcontroller-based system gives you control over the resistance level instead of having to use one of the machine’s preset resistance levels.The project will determine what the original system was trying [...]

The Wireless Instant Messenger (WIM) project implements a portable and interoperable Instant Messaging Client. It is possible to send and receive Instant Messages over a wireless device to services like Jabber, AIM, Yahoo!, MSN, IRC etc. using this client.The project uses Ethernet and Radio communication to achieve this on the hardware side and relies on [...]

Eight-Channel RF Remote Controller

admin — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:55:26 +0000

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 [...]

Low-Cost Vision-Based IR Beacon Sensor for Small Mobile Robots

admin — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 00:17:27 +0000

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 [...]
