Recto Avenue, Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro City, 9000 Ultrasonic Radar System Documentation Submitted by: Cabilla, Lorener Marie Bahian, Aila Garcia, Giselle Mae Rosagaran, Caleb Japondar, Cledel Joyce Benigay, Dessa Mae Mercado, Jerica Camugao, Rex Jay Submitted to: Mrs. Mayette Saculingan BSIT-3R2 September, 2015 Ultrasonic Radar System By: GROOk Contact Information: www.GROOk.net Abstract: This project is an object detection system which uses radio waves to determine the range, altitude, direction, or speed of objects. Keywords: I. Instroduction The idea of making an Ultrasonic RADAR appeared to us while viewing the technology used in defense, be it Army, Navy or Air Force and now even used in the automobiles employing features like automatic/driverless parking systems, accident prevention during driving etc. Radar systems come in a variety of sizes and have different performance specifications. Some radar systems are used for air-traffic control at airports and others are used for long range surveillance and early-warning systems. A radar system is the heart of a missile guidance system. Small portable radar systems that can be maintained and operated by one person are available as well as systems that occupy several large rooms. The modern uses of radar are highly diverse, including air traffic......

Chapter 1 Arduino Microcontroller 1.1 Introduction The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328 (datasheet). It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button.

...Step 1: Materials Tools * Arduino * Processing * Wire cutters * Soldering iron * Box cutter Materials * (3) 270k resistors * (3) 10k resistors * Solder * Wire * Aluminum foil * Cardboard Optional: * Tape (e.g.: scotch) * Shielded wire (e.g.: coaxial cable, ~3') * (3) alligator clips * 3-pin header * Zip-tie * Shrink wrap tubing or hot glue Step 2: Make the Plates This sensor will work using simple RC circuits, with each circuit sensing distance in one dimension. I found that the easiest way to arrange three capacitive plates for this purpose is in the corner of a cube. I cut the corner of a cardboard box into an 8.5" cube, and then cut some aluminum foil to fit as slightly smaller squares. Tape on the corners keeps them in place. Don't tape down the entire perimeter, we'll need it later for attaching the alligator clips. Step 3: Make the Connectors To connect the Arduino to the plates we need some shielded wire. If the wire isn't shielded, the wires themselves act more obviously as part of the capacitor. Also, I've found that alligator clips make it really easy to connect things to aluminum -- but there are probably plenty of other ways, too. * Cut three equal lengths of shielded cable. I chose about 12". The shorter the better. Coaxial cable works, but the lighter/more flexible the better. * Strip the last half inch or so to reveal the shielding, and the last quarter inch to......

R.O2, Ogbuokebe S.K3 1,2 Department of Electronic & Computer Engineering, University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria 3 National Space Research and Development agency, Abuja As a result of these, majority of the farmers end up bankrupt while some incur huge debt from banks, relatives or committee of friends in the process [3]. With the proposed drying system, farmers would be able to dry their farm produce using appropriate temperature and humidity control system. Abstract— this paper presents the design and implementation of a microcontroller based Seed Dryer Machine for farm produce interfaced with PC. Drying of farm produce and seeds in large quantity such as; melon, beans, corn, cocoa seeds, pumpkin seeds, rice, pepper seeds, tomato seeds etc., has been very challenging due to lack of drying facilities, drying space and poor weather. This gives low lifespan to the seeds and reduced quantity of stored seeds, which in turn could discourage farmers from further cultivations. In view of this problem, a microcontroller based Seed Dryer Machine is designed to aid and encourage farmers to dry in large scale different......

...so that I may design and fabricate my own radio controlled helicopter. The most common power source of radio control helicopters are Lithium Polymer batteries. A thermopile is a horizon sensor that works by detecting thermal infrared radiation, or radiated heat. First Person View (FPV), also known as Remote Person View (RPV) or Video Piloting, is a method used to control a radio controlled model vehicle from the driver or pilot's view point. Digital servos are more effective but use more power in their outputs. The main difference is that digital servos use electronic circuits to utilize more power for greater control. The key to any radio control helicopter is a dedicated autopilot system. An innovative do-it-yourself autopilot is the Arduino Uno autopilot, to which you can build circuits, programs, etc. to perform certain actions and tasks.IntroductionUAV’s, or unmanned aerial vehicles, are the ultimate form of remote control vehicles. They range from sophisticated surveillance drones that detect threats in an environment, to backyard remote helicopters for recreation and practice. The basic design for any remote vehicle includes the guidance systems, power source,...

...and environmental engineering principles. The experiment will allow the user to not only assimilate the amount of water and energy used, but will also allow them to comprehend the data as numerical costs and future savings uses succeeding with a rational use of the resource. The researchers’ monitor will display a data collection and a data display of the process under the circumstances the monitor has been used. The Electronic Water Usage Monitor will be a merge of a flow measurement device with its programmed electronic display system. The monitor will cover a modern but practical design that satisfies environmental and physic’s principles of water conservation methods. The device responsible for measuring water movement will be an Arduino. As water flows through the plumb, the monitor, through Arduino’s sensors, will measure the amount of water through the pressure is under over time following the Bernoulli’s Principle. The Bernoulli’s Principle helps the researcher understand and determine the rate in which water will be flowing through The Electronic Monitor. Water is the most essential part of planet earth, being itself 70% water and human’s body made up of 60% water. Water is a colorless, odorless and tasteless liquid with a freezing point of 0 degrees and a boiling point of 100 degrees. Even though water is vital for human’s survival, it is treated as a limitless resource, which is not. The adult human uses on average of 100 gallons of water per day. In the chart......

...computers to maintain and upgrade, software to be written, and components to replace and possibly design. There are many ways to improve the whole system like, the sonic gates could more sync with the steps. They could use weight sensors on the steps which would allow the Arduino to sync with music system. This would allow the weight of person to activate the music system instead of person crossing the sonic gates. Water Wall functions on the solenoid contracting and release mechanism. Usually solenoids tend to get worn out .One way to improve is by changing the mechanism they work, using opto-isolator circuit. This will help eliminate noise and safe some voltage when solenoid contracts. Each of these operations uses a different form of technology, as the glockenspiel uses a MDI sensor. MDI is a port on a hub or switch used to connect to other switches without requiring crossover cables. The other type of software is the Arduino sensor, which is an open-source computer hardware company that design and manufactures kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control the physical world. DMI and Arduino are both sensors but DMI is programmed based on timing of the day, whereas Arduino software is based on the environment around it, as the ground cloud and water wall use the program. Having the knowledge of such an approach, as was described in this study, further increases our analytical value and therefor our ability to think critically and......
