SCHOOL PROJECTS
Gateless Monitoring System November 2007-June 2008
This is a project that I and two classmates developed. It’s an RFID based monitoring system that could be used at schools or businesses to monitor traffic in and out of their parking lots. Everyone who will need to be at the given facility will keep an RFID tag in their car. As they enter or leave, our system will note who the person was and at what time they entered/exited. If someone without a tag enters, the system will log this and take and store two pictures of the unknown person.
The Flapper Project March 2007-June 2007
This project was assigned to our class by a professor. The assignment was to integrate a flapper unit (it looks like a rolodex, airports use them to spell out the names of cities) into some existing hardware we had built the previous semester. To accomplish this, we had to build the driver circuit and write the code necessary for our microcontroller to control it. Upon completion, we were able to enter a two digit number into the microcontroller via a 12 key keypad, the flapper would turn to the desired flap and the character or appropriate error code would be displayed on a two line LCD.
