"My project is a model of a garage opener. I used a simple motor to move a door up and down and an infrared LED to detect if anything is in the way of the door."
"This project is designed to count objects as they pass through a gate." It uses a light sensor and the 4 digit 7 segment display and turns on a light, makes a sound, and energizes a relay when a desired number is reached.
"The program counts the number of people that enter and leave a room and displays the number of people that are currently in the room."
"Modified rack-mount surge protector to have controllable outlets and current sensing outlets. Dragon12 board communicates with a Crestron controller via RS-232 for iPad application."
"The assignment is comprised of an audio input and the resulting output displays the fractional volume level on a 14-segment LED display."
"Upon pressing the correct sequence of numbers, the doorjamb will activate and allow entry to the user."
"The light automatically turns on and off at user adjustable times, as well as including a manual mode to turn the light on or off at any point. The current time is shown on the 7-segment display."
"I have designed a useful infrared security system to detect and alarm when an object moves within the field of view of an infrared sensor. The system is designed to annunciate the intrusion by emitting a warning tone and lighting any number of LEDs put in parallel."
"Light dependent resistors detect the direction of greatest luminosity in order to position a solar panel to receive the light at the most optimal angle. The values for luminosity are sent to the microcontroller where they are compared and the greater luminosity will cause the microcontroller to send a command to a stepper motor where it will turn clockwise or counterclockwise to meet the light at the optimal angle."
"The project is a daylight harvester, a device that will read ambient light and adjust an externally connected incandescent lamp based on the need for more light."
The input device is the Invensense MPU-6050 motion processor unit. The output device is a simple fan.
"Menu driven, desktop assistant.

"The basis for this project is to be able to charge a single battery cell and have a functional demonstration prototype with a user interface."
$quot;The clapper waits to hear two claps before toggling on or off . When only one clap is heard it displays a "prepping" LED for up to six seconds before it gives up and listens for a new first clap.$quot;
"The program uses the keypad on the Dragon12 for control and an LCD display for instructions. Using two DC motors, the tank is able to go forward and backward, and it is also able to turn left and right by spinning the motors in opposite directions."
The students in my last Microcontrollers class got donuts.
