LUNA is a direction finding system I developed for IREC. Maintaining reliable connection with the rocket during launch requires a highly directional antenna. This direction finding system obtains the direction to then orientate the directional antenna. It must have accuracy down to few degrees to maintain connection. Using correlative interferometry, it compares the phases on five antennas using the AD8302 chip to find incident wave direction.
The Danger Donut is a 150 gram melty brain combat robot. To maximise its moment of inerta and weapon power, the entire robot spins, electronics included! The Danger Donut can drift around while spinning at over 2500 RPM. By implementing a Kalman filter using data from an accelerometer and IR receiver, the Danger Donut can maintain a consistant heading even at top speeds.
Pretty much all smart waches available to purchase use LCD or OLED display technology. By using an E-paper display instead, this watch can have a much longer battery life. This is due to the physical properties of E-paper displays which allow them to remain active even with no power. This E-paper watch uses Bluetooth to communicate with a paired smart phone to update time, weather, and other information.
