Projects
Project 1 (Example)
Keep a very brief description of a project or even a suggestion here, and perhaps the names of the team members, or who to contact if there is interest to join. Once the project has stabilized, keep stuff in the project page linked by the headline.
Simple Optical Heart Rate Monitor
This project demonstrates the principles of photoplethysmography (PPG) through the construction of a simple device to measure heart rate. The project involves using an LED and photodiode to detect variations in light absorption caused by changes in blood volume during each heartbeat.
Gas sensor
This project aims to use high and low detection methods of tin dioxide (SnO2) sensor to detect carbon monoxide or other combustible gases.
Optical Sensor for Noise Flickering
Group Members: Eric Cheung; Lee An Min, Amanda; Loh Jia Ying Whitney
This project aims to use a simple voltage divider made up with resistors and LDR to measure visual noise tags.
Real time temperature alarm
This project aims to build a system using Python and Raspberry Pi to measure and display temperature in real-time using temperature sensors, and to issue an alarm when the temperature exceeds the set threshold
Gravitational Torsion Balance
This project aims to determine the gravitational constant using the gravitational torsion balance based on the Cavendish Experiment
Sensor that recognizes specific sounds and steers toward the source
A microphone array is used to capture sound signals, and the direction of the sound source is determined by analyzing the time difference of sound signals received by different microphones.
Idea
A microphone array is used to capture sound signals, and the direction of the sound source is determined by analyzing the time difference of sound signals received by different microphones.
Equipment
• Microphone array: Choose the appropriate number and type of microphones based on your needs. • Sound processing chip: such as DSP (Digital Signal Processor) for processing and analysis of sound signals. • Control unit: such as microcontroller (MCU) used to control the operation of the entire system. • Servo motor: used to drive the sensor to the direction of the sound source. • Power supply: Choose an appropriate power supply solution based on system power consumption.
Optical Sensor for UV Radiation
This project aims to design a photodiode-based optical sensor to detect UV radiation levels.
Position Sensor
Group Members: Angela Anna Baiju, Chenyue Gu, Joel K Jose
Resources
Recorded sessions
Devices and material
Apart form the stuff in the teaching lab, we have a resources you may want to consider for your project:
- ...
Books and links
Software
- Various Python extensions. Python is a very powerful free programming language that runs on just about any computer platform. It is open source and completely free.
- Gnuplot: A free and very mature data display tool that works on just about any platform used that produces excellent publication-grade eps and pdf figures. Can be also used in scripts. Open source and completely free.
- Matlab: Very common, good toolset also for formal mathematics, good graphics. Expensive. We may have a site license, but I am not sure how painful it is for us to get a license for this course. Ask if interested.
- Mathematica: More common among theroetical physicists, very good in formal maths, now with better numerics. Graphs are ok but can be a pain to make looking good. As with Matlab, we do have a campus license. Ask if interested.
