Our project goal is to create a motorized longboard that can be controlled using a RC controller-like joystick that will tell the longboard to go forward or go backwards. The controller will be designed to be used in one hand. It will use an Arduino and controllers to control the motors. The board will incorporate regenerative braking that reverts kinetic energy back into usable power for the lithium battery, a DC brushless motor capable of turning both ways, and a pressure sensitive kill switch that turns off the motor when a rider is not detected. Another unique aspect of our board is that it will use sensors or an active drive that will aid in turning by turning down the PWM or by speeding up the outer wheel and slowing down the inner wheel once a turn is identified.

Bone Conduction Lock

Alexander Lee, Brandon Powers, Ramon Zarate

Featured Project

A lock that is unlocked using vibrations conducted through the bones in the user’s hand. The user wears a wristband containing a haptic motor. The haptic motor generates a vibration signal that acts as the "key" to the lock. When the user touches their finger to the lock, the signal is transmitted through the user’s hand and is received at the lock. If the lock receives the correct "key", then it unlocks.
