Infrared and Ultrasonic Scanner

Infrared and Ultrasonic Scanner
This project is a short range, infrared and ultrasonic scanner that uses a standard hobby servo to move the sensors and a color LCD screen to display the information from the sensors. The information displayed on the LCD is an overhead view of the scanning area, with increments of distance from the sensors. [more]

NICEBOTS

NICEBOTS
The NICEBOTS project is a one-month long open studio exhibit, showcasing the construction and design of interactive robots. During the exhibition, the artists transform the gallery space into a working studio where the audience is able to observe and learn how the bots are built and interact with them in their space. The open studio format allows for dynamic changes throughout the exhibition. [more]

Digital Clock with PIC16F84A

Digital Clock with PIC16F84A
This is a small ajustable clock, It’s made based on PIC16F84A microchip.The hardware part is very simple because it only uses 74hct238 demultiplexer, 4×7 segments, and some rezistors. The software part is programmed through a device connected to serial port with icprog and made/debuged with MPlab.[more]

Interfacing Your Computer to an ADC via the Parallel Port

Interfacing Your Computer to an ADC via the Parallel Port
Interfacing an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with Linux via the parallel port is fairly simple. There two major areas that need to be addressed - hardware and software. The hardware consists of the parallel port, an ADC, and an analog signal source. The software programmed in ‘C’ language.[more]
