disclaimer:a lot of what is below is wrong. the project has gone through some major design changes, including: new architectural setup, new command set, new mechanical layout. this is the new architectural set up:this is the new mechanical set up:you...
I'm a beginner and know very little about how computers work, this is an educational project. If you find mistakes or have relevant information concerning computers feel free to comment. The computer follows 'Harvard architecture' (I might be wrong)...
Since I was born in mid-eighties, I've never experienced real 74xx build. Few gates here and there was common, but lager designs were practically unneeded - as microcontrollers, CPLDs or FPGAs replaced need for such as work. But my possession in vintage...
Hardware:Our wide format plotter project got off to a flying start late last year (December 2013) with the main printer framework, electronics and most of the custom software completed within the first three weeks.The next month was spent tweaking both...
Whilst I never really grew up playing pinball machines (arcades are a different story), I had the opportunity to play a full size, fully functioning White Water pinball at my previous job. I was hooked and wanted to keep playing after I came home. Thus...
BackgroundWe modeled a subset of the swarm as individual bees. Each bee had an interal state (dancing, scouting, etc) as described below Each bee is placed randomly on a square region, and does not move while it is with the swarm.Each bee has a discrete...

Programming model for Surfaces The method used here is to package each geometric primitive (e.g. sphere) as a Matlab 'struct'. Geometric primitives are then grouped in a 'cell array'. The cell array is ultimately passed to the renderpatch function for...
We all have seen the 3D printers around the world.Well.........I'm feeding this one with steroids!Some technical info:-4 NEMA23 1,7A per coil stepper motors, two on the Z axis-20x20 extrusion Structure, very sturdy-X axis powered on two sides, belt driven...
Current program features: -run a wood stove at a user defined temperature by controlling the stove air damper with a servo-will shut the stove down to a slow burn when the room temperature reaches a user defined setting-incorporates an over temperature...
Ghosh and Jain (1) showed how to charactize a simple, closed, piece-wise linear curve as a Fourier series in a single parametric variable. Such a formulation allows (see Tsow and Land below): interpolation of curves by sampling the parameter more densely.morphing...
The arcReactorX is a wearable arc reactor clone which runs on a LiIon Battery from an old cell phone! It has 8 Blue LEDs on the circumfrence and a bright white LED in the centre.Proposed Features: Small and lightPower efficientBrightChange-able modes...
