Spring 2006 Projects
The last half of Microcontroller Systems Lab, five weeks, is
devoted to an individual project of the student's choosing and design.
The only requirements are that it be stand-alone (code in EEPROM),
have both an input and output device, and involve hardware beyond that
which is on the DRAGON12 board used in the class.
Other year's projects for Winter 2014 are
here, Winter 2013 are
here, Winter 2012 are
here, Winter 2011 are
here, Winter 2010 are here, Spring 2009 are here,
Spring 2008 are here, Spring 2007 are here, Spring
2005 are here, and those
for Spring 2004 are here.
Here are the projects in the (arbitrary) order they were presented.

Fahrenheit
Temperature Sensor with 7-Segment Display and Threshold Switching
by Bobby King.
Temperature is indicated on the seven segment LED display. Other LEDs indicate
if the preset temperature has been reached or not. |

Safer Security System by Phong Le.
An alarm system using a resistance loop is checked for tampering as well
as tresspassing with this project. |

Temperature Sensor Interface to the Liquid Crystal Display by Cirlene Rahin
The Analog to Digital Converter in the 68HCS12 reads the voltage output
of a temperature sensor, converts to degrees Fahrenheit, and displays the
temperature on the LCD display.
Yes, she's from Brazil. |

DMX Lighting Controller by Art McGee
A 48 channel light dimmer is controlled (using the DMX512 protocol) from
the microcontroller using the keyboard interface. The dimmer connects via
the RS485 port on the Dragon-12 board.
Note -- my flash was accidentally turned off during these pictures, so
the came out blurred. I apologize. |
|
Moving Object Detector by Kevin Brown
An IR proximity sensor is positioned by the microcontroller and the microcontroller
processes the sensor output. This is a robotics application. |
|
Motor Control
Pushbuttons control the operation of a steering positioner (with sensor
switches for left, right, and center) and a propulsion motor. The breadboard
has two H bridges to interface the microcontroller to the motors. |
