The goal of the project is to create a device to track the Illinois river otter movement patterns. The device will periodically acquire and store its GPS (global positioning system) coordinate. When the otter is within the download range of the base station, it will automatically relay the GPS data to the stations memory using an RF transceiver. The base station will have a USB interface for ease of data retrieval by the researchers. The device will need to be sub-cutaneous so as to minimize risk of injury to the otter, while ensuring the device is secured to the otter.

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.
