I. Introduction Today, the rising cost of energy and social trend of “going green” has put increasing pressure on commercial property owners to improve the efficiency of their investments. There is good reason for this, too. In the State of California, office buildings represent the single largest user of energy in the commercial sector (Efficiency […]
Introduction “Our project implements the game, Reversi, on TV with a smart artificial intelligence and a host of other features!” It’s our childhood game. We were so excited when we found out that we can actually build it for our 476 final project. We looked at the websites for various design of the game setup

The purpose of this project was to take a traditional remote controlled car and create our own control mechanisms. To control the car, we used a dual-axis accelerometer and LEDs (light emitting diodes) configured as photo-detectors. The control mechanism was selected using a single pole dual throw (spdt) switch was wired in a single pole

Introduction Our project is a wireframe 3D video game based on the classic Atari arcade game, Battlezone (Copyright Atari Corp, 1980). For those that have never heard of the game, Battlezone is a game in which the player maneuvers a tank through a flat environment, shooting and destroying enemy tanks while taking advantage of

Kang Li(kl694) and Zhenxuan Qiu(zq39) For our ECE 4760 final projec, we built a pair of toy “cat ears” using electroencephalography (EEG) with the AVR microcontroller. The basic function of it is that it can change the gesture of the “Ears” based on the participant’s emotion. The user doesn’t need to do anything except for

Introduction: But now I can do this very easily by a simple digital signal processing using a microcontroller. It’s concept is very simple, ie we need to apply a proper delayed feedback in digital samples with in a circular buffer. I did this using an atmega32 microcontroller and it worked fine. This is simple but really an interesting project.

OVERALL DESIGN GOAL The overall goal of our project was to recreate the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) using Atmel Microcontrollers. We decided early on the adding audio to the mix was likely going to be too much work in the time that we had to complete the project. Therefore, we decided to leave all audio
