| Guitar Tuner by Andy Elhardt.
"In this projecct I created a guitar tuner using the input
compare function for one of the timers [...] I implemented a
comparator circuit [and] used a low pass filter [...] allowing only
the fundamental tone to be measured by the input compare."

| Salt Water Aquarium Monitor by
Lali Lozano.
"Among other things, temperature of the aquarium can be a source of stress. There
are two major temperature situations that aquarists must avoid. The first is continual
improper water temperature. [...] The second temperature situation to avoid is rapid temperature
changes.[...] This project focuses on providing a cost effective solution to the above problem.

| Temperature Controller by
Brandon Heilman.
"My final project is a temperature controller using the
I2C communication interface. The controller uses [push
button] inputs
and [LED] outputs connected to the 68HCS12
microcontroller."

| Electronic Tabletop Level by
Steven Conrad.
"The standard length of a typical table top level is
24-36" long. [...] This project uses the Dragon 12+
microcontroller board and an external jig as an alternate method for
leveling table tops. The result is a package that has a smaller
footprint, better resolution, and multi-functional use if the software
is installed in EEPROM."

| Magnetic Stripe Lock
Controller by David Armstrong.
"This project uses an HCS12 Dragon development board and a
magnetic stripe card reader as an input. An alarm and an electronic
lock are controlled by the output of the microcontroller."
|
| Pressure Sensor and
Applications by Ha Nguyen.
"The project is about measuring pressure from a pressure
sensor/transducer which is used for a medical blood pressure
monitor."
|
| CNC Machine by Dalton Paull.
"For this project a complete CNC machine and interface was designed and built using
the dragon 12 development board.[...] The objective of this project is to interface a CNC machine with a PC computer running
CNC control software."

| Microcontroller Project on ADC
by Mbemba Suwareh.
"In this project I will design an analog to digital converter.
[It is a flash converter.] The output will be displayed on the
seven-segment display of the microcontroller."
|
| NPN BJT Curve Tracer by Daniel
Longstreet.
"This instrument will stimulate a
voltage through the Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) and measure the resulting voltage
with an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC). The Device Under Test (DUT) with be a
NPN BJT 2N3904. The ADC will measure the collector and emitter
voltages."
|
| Automatic Sprinkler System by
Mike Christiansen.
"I decided to interface the microcontroller with a electronic
sprinkler valve to have a way to automatically control my
sprinkler. I wanted to try a project using C code as it is more
commonly used in industry."
|
| Air Fuel Ratio Meter by Justin
Maupin.
"This project attempts to take the signal from an Oxygen
Sensor inside an automobile and illuminate a bank of LED's which
coincide with an Air-to-Fuel ratio. The program accomplishes this
by using the internal Analog to Digital Converter in the 68HCS12
to take 8 samples of the signal from the O2 sensor. The program
then averages the signals and outputs the value in a designated
pattern of 10 LED's."
|
| Car Alarm Security System by
Viloth Bounnam.
"The purpose of this project was to design a car alarm
security system.[...] Real time interrupts and the enhanced capture
timer channel 7 were used to implement the design."
|
| Monochromatic Video Projector
by Reginald Holmes.
"By switching the light sources from a large, delicate and inefficient bulb to an efficient and
robust light source such as laser diodes, the risk of damage to a projection system is significantly
reduced. Laser diodes are much more efficient at turning electricity into light, so they run much cooler
and, because they produce coherent light, the light spreads slowly and does not require the optics to
focus them. These benefits allow the projector to be smaller and much more portable, guarantying to
professionals that their presentations are inspiring without being at the mercy of the site facilities, and
ensuring families can enjoy their favorite videos wherever, and
whenever, they want." Note: I was not able to successfully
photograph the projector operating.
