Step Counter Music DJ’s motivation is to play music for a jogger that would have a similar beats per minute (bpm) as the jogger’s step rate. The joggers step rate is measured from an accelerometer. The bpm of the song is pulled from the song title and is compared to the steps per minute in software.

Client: UAARG The UAV imaging is an image process for UAARG (U of A Aerial Robotics Group) to identify markers on the ground. Processed images are sent back to the ground station. A camera carried by the plane is used to photograph a research area from the air, and then our software implemented on PandaBoard analyzes full resolution images taken by the camera. Markers including their shapes could be recognized. These processed images are then compressed and transmitted to the ground station.

Our group created an (up to two-player) original video game similar to classic space-shooter arcade games such as Taito Corporation’s Space Invaders. This project centered on the use of the Altera DE2 development board and the NIOSII microprocessor, and the necessary software was written using µC/OSII. The aim of the game is to shoot down and evade enemy spacecraft and their projectiles using accelerometer-based controllers which we also created.

This project involves the creation of an Intruder Alert System. The idea behind the system is to capture consecutive video frames, analyze them for detecting motion, and output the final result. The three major components used in the project include a Camera, a TV Decoder chip on the Altera DE2 board, and a VGA screen to output the resulting video highlighting any detected motion

Until this day, voice recognition remains a crucial technology and as time progresses we observe more and more devices holding the capability of being controlled via voice. Therefore, we believe that implementing a voice-controlled helicopter is not only interesting and unique, but would not only allow those who are physically challenged be capable of controlling a helicopter using solely their voice.

The goal of this project was to develop a digital audio synthesizer using the MIDI communication protocol. The product functions similarly to a commercially available synthesizer product, albiet with a slightly reduced feature set

To interface an RC car to an Apple iOS handheld device, providing the user with a more interactive experience, controlling the car through both the iOS devices’ touch screen and built in accelerometer.

Implement a 3-in-1 game using the Altera DE2 board that is displayed to an external LCD and receives user input from a remote. To accomplish this, custom components were created on an FPGA to decode IR signals and interface the LCD. Using the NIOSII processor in a µC OS-II environment the software is able to interact with the hardware components.
