MIDI Linear Actuator

MIDI Linear Actuator

This project uses relays to control a Firgelli Automations linear actuator without feedback. The relays are controlled by the MIDI Volume (Control Change number CC7) command which is read by the microcontroller and converted into one of the only 3 states of operation: 1) The Linear Actuator is stopped, 2) The Linear Actuator is extending,

Cosmic ray detection from vertical and horizontal directions using three Geiger counters

Cosmic ray detection from vertical and horizontal directions using three Geiger counters using arduino

Research Group: Ryan Mountcastle, Minh Trang Nguyen, Nathan Ranno, and Ryan Ward Launch: Whitworth Fall 2012 This experiment was designed to examine cosmic ray activity in the Earth’s atmosphere as altitude increases. The previous group’s project utilized three Geiger counters stacked vertically to eliminate false positives. This only accounts for rays travelling in the vertical
