The Servo Digitizer is developed to channel control input from a model airplane radio remote control, the Futaba Skysport 4, to a flight simulator program running in a PC. It translates a pulse-width modulated signal output from the remote control into ASCII data and sends them to the PC via an RS-232 serial port. A…
Implement a simple user interface design using the Motorola Nitron microcontroller as the interface controller. Design the user interface with cost, reliability, adaptability and manufacturability in mind. The user interface design must be unique and provide a new novel concept in user interface design. Utilize the capabilities of the new Motorola E-field sensor. 68HC908QY4 An…
The Motorola 68HC908QY4 is used to produce an NTSC video signal which can be used in several applications. One is an NTSC Test Pattern Generator which produces simple test patterns in order to evaluate a TV’s geometric distortion, high voltage regulation, and interlace quality. Another is a VCR Pacifier to allow a VCR to record…
Ever wonder what the birds, deer, or bear were doing in your back “40” when you weren’t around? Just set up the Remote Observation Station, and you can watch the wildlife on your TV in the comfort of your living room! The station includes a camera and transmitter that sends a picture to your TV,…
The advantage of using acoustic waves to measure the moisture content of soil is that acoustic waves measure the moisture content in a volume of soil that radiates outward from the acoustic source to the detector rather than measure the moisture content at only one point. Each detector is solar-powered and uses wireless transceivers to…
