APPLIED PROJECTS

Freescale Cup Competition (Thesis Project) September 2014 – April 2015

Programmed a car to navigate around a given track under competition regulations through

embedded programming in C

Programmed on the KL25Z freedom microcontroller with a TFC shield to interface with

various components to include:

• A Line Scan Camera – to collect data to later be interpreted

• A Servo – to control the front end steering

• Two Motors – controlled through an H-Bridge to provide the driving force for

the rear wheels

• An Accelerometer – to detect when the vehicle is on a ramp by detecting the

various forces that are applied onto the car to include gravity

Course Selection Project September 2014 – December 2014

Designed and implemented a course registration website for Carleton University students.

Numerous programming tools and techniques were used in this project to include HTML,
