Live Action MATLAB – Arduino data logger.
Posted on: 10 Mar 2017
Background I was in need of an affordable data logger for a project. I have access to MATLAB on all of my machines so it was an easy choice to build an Arduino based data logger that would easily interface with MATLAB R2014a. MATLAB is limited in both its sampling frequency (25 Hz) and its […]

Staircase Meets Piano
Posted on: 08 Mar 2017
In November 2014, we displayed our first completed project as a club, the Staircase Piano. The idea for the project was given to us by Professor Barry Brown before the club was even formed. Throughout the semester we worked towards putting the piano together for a final presentation before the end of the Fall 2014 […]
LTD SMRT Project (Safe Monitored Rider Transit)
Posted on: 07 Mar 2017
The proposed new LTD public transportation system uses people counters on the bus system to get an accurate measure of rider tendencies across different routes at specific times. Each bus will be equipped with two sensors which will generate numeric data no larger than 4 bytes of memory at any given time. The data will […]

Using an Arduino as a Latching Relay
Posted on: 21 Dec 2016
I wrote this one hot week in July 2010. I’ve been leaving my front door ajar, to get some air through the house. Probably not a very good idea. So I thought I’d hook up an Arduino to ensure that no one takes advantage of the door being unlocked. This essay isn’t meant, primarily, to […]
Arduino-based Graphical Heart Rate Monitor
Posted on: 20 Dec 2016
Introduction: Like many out there, I enjoy a good exercise session, whether it be indoors or outdoors. As part of that I purchased a Polar branded heart rate monitor, which came with a “Wearlink” chest strap and RS300Xsd receiver watch. The watch is able to do quite a bit of analysis on its own, in […]
High-Power Control: Arduino + TIP120 Transistor
Posted on: 19 Dec 2016
Up until now, we have talked about working with a lot of low-power devices. Sensors, LEDs, ICs, and the like are all capable of being powered directly from your Arduino, but as many awesome 5 and 3.3v components as there are, eventually you will find yourself holding a 12v solenoid, motor, or light and wondering […]
