Use of an accelerometer as a 2-D/ 3-D mouse controller
Team:Suryapratap Babar, Ayush Babel, Anirudh Krishnan
Abstract:
The cursor motion on commercial laptops is due to the capacitive touchpad. This requires
contact of finger tips. Our main aim is to eliminate this arduous procedure and controlling it
with the wrist motion.

Autoranging Digital multimeter
Team:Aditi Udupa, Jyotsna Ghaitalik, Shalini Kureel
Abstract:
We have tried to build a multimeter capable of measuring voltage, resistance
and capacitance and make it autoranging(i.e without need for external setting
of range). We have used simple voltage dividers to change ranges and the
Arduino is programmed to change ranges accordingly.

Chromatogram reader
Team: Anurag Meena, Divyank Agarwal, Sanchita Das
Abstract:
The proposed device is intended to read data basically from pigment
chromatograms. The utility arises due to mismatched interpretation of
data when viewed by different observers in different environmental
conditions. The device breaks the incoming data into respective Red,
Green & Blue Value of the sample which can be observed by the user
and used as per requirements in comparison or data acquisition.

Frequency detector
Team: Prasanna Siddireddy, Sandeep Subramanian, Saquib Alam
Abstract:
The project consistis of two modes. Mode 1 is when a frequency is played into a mic it will be
detected by the aurdino and the detected frequency will be displayed on the terminal. The
signal x(t) which is given as input into the mic will be sampled and then fourier transform takes
place. Fourier transformation gives us the input signal in the frequency domain from which
we can detect the frequency. Mode 2 consists of an led grid. LEDs can be glown controlled by
the frequency of the input into the mic. Initially an LED would be lit and if we say A the LED to
the top glows, saying E glows one on the right, Z glows one on the down and U the one on the
left.

Autonomous gas monitoring system
Team: Danavath Kiran Naik, Neeraj Ranjan, Ajay Boyat
Abstract:
Proposal describes the design of Ambient air quality monitoring system that can continuously track certain
environmental parameters. This project mainly focus on the CO (It is toxic to humans and animals when encountered in
higher concentrations, although it is also produced in normal animal metabolism in low quantities, and is thought to have
some normal biological functions) and combustible gases, since these days quantity (ppm)of these gases are
increased due to large exhaust from automobiles .And also to detect the leakage of the Household gases
(LPG)(pre indication to the leakage of huge LPG gas ).

Handwriting recognition system
Team:Shantanu Agarwal, Darpan Sanghavi, Shreyans Jain
Abstract:
The aim of our project is to design a touch screen controller that
enables users to input decimal digits through a resistive touch screen.
The controller will then try to recognize the inputted number and display it if the glyphs are su?ciently 'close' to some model digits.
Currently we only aim to match the source 'as is' to the targets, without
scaling, translating and rotating. |

Quadcopter dynamic controller
Team: Abhishek Ukey, Ankur Agrawal, Digvijay Wadekar, Hardik Godara, Jash Banker, Mukul Sholapurkar, Tushar Sinha
Abstract:
A quadcopter, also called a quadrotor, is basically a helicopter with 4 rotors instead of
the 2 used in a standard helicopter. Quadcopters have gained tremendous popularity
in the ?eld of "Unmanned Autonomous Vehicle (UAV)" research. Quadcopters depend
on electronic sensors and control systems to stabilize their ?ight. The main advantage
that a quadcopter has over a helicopter is that since it requires four small rotors, each
rotor possesses less kinetic energy and hence will cause less damage if it hits something.
Each motor must lift only a quarter of the weight so we can use cheaper motors. Also
quadcopters are easier to build and control and due to their small size, can be maneuvered
easily in closed spaces too.

Examining Random numbers generated using
Johnson noise and chaotic mapping/strong>
Team: Anshul Avasthi, Anushrut Sharma, Rishabh Khandelwal
Abstract:
The aim of our experiment is to generate truly random numbers, since there exist
numerous applications that would bene?t greatly from the existence of easily accessible truly
random numbers. Computational ?elds like cryptography are among the ?rst that come to
mind.

Digital Thermometer
Team: Akash Khaire, Vinay Salvi
Abstract:
We have tried to make a single-supply system to precisely
measure the temperature at a remote location with less than 1
degree Celsius error over a 0 to 100 degree Celsius range. We
have used AD 590 as a temperature sensor and LM 324 as an
op-amp which is commonly available.

Hardware
All the above projects are implemented using the open-source Arduino microcontroller platform. The core is the Atmega168 16 MHz 8-bit microcontroller made by Atmel. It has 16 digital I/O lines and 6 I/O lines which makes it very easy to interface it to hardware (and a particular favorite among robotics hobbyists!)
