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]

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]

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]
