Tean Project for ECE 411 FALL 2012 PSU

Team members: Khiem Dang, Jordan Keomanivanh, Frederick Susanto, and Raed Alkhaldi

Team idea: Khiem Dang: Auto Fish Feeder My idea is a machine that feeds fish automatically. The machine can feed the fish 1, 2, 3 or 4 times depend on how we set it. There is a container which holds the food for the fish. There is a motor which can open the cap at the bottom of the container. After 2 or 3 seconds, the cap will be closed. After feeding the fish, there is a LED show how many times the fish is fed. Ignatius Susanto: Parking Sensor Front or Back parking sensor, helping the consumer to easily park for especially a big SUV, a truck or even a sedan. A sensor on the car-bumper as an input, and an LED as an output. A controller that let the driver know how close is the car to the object in front/behind him. The direction and distance to the obstacle is indicated by the location and strength of the warning symbols. Jordan Keomanivanh: Solar panel charger My idea for the project is the solar panel charger where the solar panel charges a battery. That battery can also charge various devices via USB. There will also be a switch to turn on and off the solar panel charging so then the battery can conserve its life span. There will be a 7 segment display that will also display the percentage of the battery. So that will allow the user to know when to charge their solar panel charger. I was thinking of using a micro controller to regulate the output of the energy stored in the battery and also the charger will stop charging the device when it’s maybe at 1% charge. I want to also make the charger also simultaneously charge the device as it uses the solar panel to obtain energy. Raed Alkhaldi: Colored LEDs in baby's formula My idea to make colored LEDs in baby's formula, and add sensors to control LEDs when baby move the formula up and down the color will change. Just for baby to have fun while drinking milk.
