This integrated voting system similar to audience poll system on TV game shows, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. The keypads consist of an ATmega88 microcontroller and a MAX485/DS75176 RS-485 Transceiver. They are connected to a single RS-485 bus using daisy chain topology with CAT5 cables as connector. Keypad nodes are interfaced to the [...]

The project goal is to built low cost TV Superimposers based on ATmega88 and ATmega48. The device allows you to display numerical data, such as temperature values, or characteristic data, such as short comments about the video feed along with real-time images from a camera. The project is composed of 2 PCB boards, VSP [...]

Remote controlled audio/video switching is not a new concept, but modern microcontrollers allow designers to incorporate functionality that was quite difficult in the past. Specifically, it is now possible using microcontrollers equipped with EEPROM and SRAM to capture IR signals and store their timing data for use as reference profiles that allow the device to [...]

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 [...]
