Spring 2014 Projects (Videos)

• A1 - Light Preserver: use a microphone that triggers PING sensor on specific sounds; the PING targets the light stopper in Coover 2041 to prevent lights from turning off
• A2 - MP-0 Extensions: support 2 players for NES, support audio, add a menu screen, multiple ROMs, and reset ability, and add a GameBoy emulator
• A3 - Mouse Control Through Camera: use the camera as a "mouse" to the computer where gestures represent different commands
• A4 - Audio Processing: pass audio through the ZedBoard hardware (possibly with modification) and use software pass-through for recording
• A5 - PING Sensor Gesture Recognition: use PING sensor with Ubuntu on ZedBoard to recognize gestures that control a media player application
• A6 - Multiplayer Battle Station: extend MP-0 and add control through an Android phone over bluetooth connection; missile launcher targets loser
• A7 - Temperature Controlled Fan: has user interface to set a temperature, a temperature sensor connected using SPI, and motor control through I2C based on temperature.
• B2 - Mobile Turret: use the robot kit with the USB missile launcher and ZedBoard to create a battery-powered turret with path and object detection.
• B4 - Hollywood Camera: add hardware manipulation to the image stream of the camera; e.g. green screen, creating grid lines, color shifting/isolating/enhancing, cartoonify, etc.
• B5 - Gesture Control Missile Launcher: use a GUI to represent targeting information, increase accuracy, and add gesture controls
• B6 - Remote Control Missile Turret: use an Android app to control the turret and send images over the connection
• B7 - Oscilloscope: use an ADC to plot signals over time in a GUI sent over VGA or USB
• B8 - Battery Load Balancer: use current, temperature, and voltage sensing to get precise battery state information and create a coprocessor to estimate charge
