Its origin and reason for existence. : Long time ago in Korea, dcinside.com was launched as an Internet community with lots of bulletin boards to share information of digital cameras and laptops as well as to support [...]

Dancing Toys 0. Overall The project’s goal is to make toys that can express their feelings on music and ambient sound by dancing on the sound’s beats. Another goal is to make toys as easy as possible to add or remove on the dancing stage so that from a single dancer to a dancing troop is [...]

My first idea was ‘Trashcan Keeper’ but I had to change the subject because: 1. Sound localization algorithm is too difficult to understand and implement in Arduino board in a few weeks 2. ATmega328 MCU, which is a MCU in Arduino, supports only 1 ADC. I have no idea about connecting and synchronizing multiple Arduino boards. [...]

My final project will be Trashcan Keeper that I proposed for the midterm project. Below is the overall diagram now I’m thinking. The servo-controlled light directs the sound source detected by microphone array. The processing application displays information such as ‘Something is detected!”, “Detected object direction is ~~.” and plays warning sounds when the sound magnitude is [...]

My first idea for the midterm was the ‘Trash Can Keeper’ but I found it would be too tough for the midterm project and changed my plan to build an autonomous robot that is claustrophobic. The robot always tries to find and move forward ‘open area’ by scanning obstacles such as walls and pillars. The range sensor [...]

1. We prepared very simple introductions in the game and it was not enough for testers to find out what to do first in the game. a) Intro was not informative enough about what this game’s goal is or what this game is. b) Hint scrolls in the game were actually easy to find but [...]

Autonomous Trashcan Keeper Recently, an uninvited guest breaks into the yard and goes through the trashcan frequently, especially at midnight. I know that he tries to contribute somehow for more efficient resource recycling but it definitely frightens me and scary! (My room is almost adjacent to trashcans.) So, I’m planning to make a device to alarm/frighten [...]

Automatic Alarm This is an alarm machine that turns on and off music and controls its volume automatically based on “how bright is it now?” As this is totally independent from the time, this device may not wake you up on cloudy or rainy morning! The photo resistor converts the brightness where it is installed into [...]
