PROJECTS

KIOSK Machine Web Scraper (UHCL)

Designed a software solution to retrieve data from the UHCL website, employing an RSS parser to extract and analyze the latest updates. Utilized Python for developing the program, ensuring real-time data integration and user-friendly interface enhancements.

Interfacing an I2C Smart Real-Time Clock with LPC4088QSB (UHCL)

Interfacing the DS1337 real-time clock chip with the LPC4088 via the I2C protocol, wrote a C program to set the time and date into the DS1337 and alternately display time from the DS1337 and room temperature from the DS1631 on a seven-segment display.

Embedded Systems Development (UHCL)

Wrote a C program to control the on-board LED1 of the LPC4088QSB. Subsequently, I wrote two programs; one program to toggle LED1 using the on-board User Switch and another to toggle an external LED using an off-board switch. I also developed a program for slowly brightening and dimming an externally connected LED using the AnalogOut pin and a loop to step values similar to a sine generator function.

Glass Breaking Sound Alarm System (UHCL)

Developed a sound detection system that remains inactive below 75 decibels and activates an alarm at higher

intensity sounds.

Tested to verify functionality with medium-range (75-104 decibels) and high-intensity sound triggers.
