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 ...

TeleSecretary is a low-cost Renesas M16C microcontroller-based remote PDA system. It contains a touch-tone decoder and generator, and digital voice recording and playback components. The touch-tone decoding and generating is handled by the Renesas microcontroller M32C/84.An event database is built on the M32C/84 microcontroller to store the scheduled appointments. The M32C/84 on-board real-time clock (the 32 kHz clock) provides the correct timing for tracking daily events. Another voice recording database is also built into the microcontroller to track and manage the 4 Mb voice memory of the ISD5116 digital recorder, ...

This project is a portable Point of Sale terminal designed specifically to handle lab manual and class supply sales in a university environment. This involves three short but very busy sales periods per year ( less than 1 week each), using staff with no training on a cash register per-se. Commercial POS terminals were thought to be too expensive and complicated for this purpose, so an inexpensive, simplified terminal was designed by Brian Millier. The project based on Renesas M16C microcontroller and its firmware is written in C, using the ...
