Senior year at Cornell... has to be fun, right?
We finished our project, and 10 days early! After two weeks of spending every day in the lab, here's our result: the "Weeboy," a portable, color, tilt-controlled video game system.
Here you can see that we have 2 games fully implemented. I'm playing while my lab partner is recording, which should explain why I played so poorly. Also, the menu option "paint" is just a placeholder, so don't get to thinking that we will have a painting game soon.
Our game is shown here fully implemented with scoring and restart. My lab partner was a bit nervous on camera so he messed up a few times at the beginning, but you can see him playing the game and yes, it is fun. We'll most likely be working on a second game as well as building the hardware this weekend, so expect new developments soon!
It's hard to see, but there's a dodgeball game happening on that little LCD screen, and the motion is controlled by tilting the accellerometer.http://ihavesenioritis.com
This was a short lab that involved making a talking thermostat with a fan. The system spoke and displayed the current temperature, and when the temperature was too high, it turned on a fan to cool the sensor down.http://ihavesenioritis.com
Our lab assignment was to build a digital oscilloscope using a TV as the display. The input signal is coming from a function generator. The sample rate of the circuit supports 60 Hz very nicely.In the video you can see some of the features we had to implement, which are the 4 time scales (8ms, 16ms, 33ms, and 65ms) as well as the "trigger" feature, which starts the wave at a voltage threshold so the trace stays uniform on the screen.The crazy guy that shows up in the middle is my lab partner.I...
Lab 2 of ECE 476: Designing with Microcontroller at Cornell. This lab required us to build a system that queried the user for some variables and then produced "cricket chirps" with those variables as the paramaters. That's enough for the technical stuff.Actors in this film: myself and my partner, as well as random cameo appearances from others in the lab.In case anyone is wondering, the microcontroller is the Atmel Mega32.
Surprisingly, this is the one really snowy day we've had all semester. It's been a really weird winter.
