The project we are planning to do is a small electronic part management system. Because there are many students go to lab every day and they will ask TA for small electronic part such as resistors or chips, so it hard for TA or lab staff to manage the electronic part in the lab. For my own experiment, several times I went to ask for some electronic part and TA check the drawer and told me it's out of stock. Our system will help to prevent and solve this kind of problems. The basic function of this system is to help the lab staffs know how many numbers of each electronic part left in the drawer and help them manage the lab much easier.
We will place a metal bar on each drawer and it will connect the 2 wires on the back of the drawer, When the drawer is opened, the metal bar and wires disconnect and there will be a signal sent to the UI and UI will show a message such as "7404 chips has been choose, please enter the number added or taken." If we want to add, press button first. If we want to take, press - button first. Then we can enter the number through a numeric keyboard. Finally, we use XBEE to transfer the changes of item numbers to the inventory in the computer.

LED Cube

Featured Project

LED technology is more advanced and much more efficient than traditional incandescent light bulbs and as such our team decided we wanted to build a device related to LEDs. An LED cube is inherently aesthetically pleasing and ours will be capable of displaying 3D animations and lighting patterns with much increased complexity compared to any 2D display of comparable resolution. Environmental interaction will also be able to control the various lighting effects on the cube. Although our plan is for a visually pleasing cube, our implementation can easily be adapted for more practical applications such as displaying 3D models.
