THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION!! COME BACK SOON :P

ARMUS, an ARM robotic processing system designed by a team of fourth-year undergraduate students in electrical engineering and computer engineering. This project intends to replace the Handy Board, the current microcontroller system used by first-year undergraduate students in our curricula with a more powerful, versatile and up- to- date technology, while preserving ease of use. Our ARMUS processing system offers high processing and memory capabilities at low energy consumption, for a price of around 300$CAD.

66.36.135.105:

=== [[ARMUS Embedded Linux Board]] ===
An ARM920T board running Linux at 200 Mips with sound, Ethernet, CAN, 48+ bidirectionnal IOs and 4 DSPs for motor control (DC, Servos, etc...). Built as a student proof robotics design platform.

=== [[Programmable Chip EEG]] ===
The Programmable Chip EEG is a Multi-channel electroencephalograph that could be a brain-computer interface.

=== [[Open Mobile Gadgets]] ===
An open source, open hardware mobile phone in its preliminary development.

=== [[Music Player]]s including MP3 players ===

[[TRAXMOD]] Open source MOD music player for dsPIC/ARM microcontrollers.

=== [[PG31 GPS RS232 Dev Board]] ===
A simple RS232 example project that takes 3.3V TTL serial and outputs to a super-common RS232 connection. Insto-NMEA!

=== [[PG31 GPS USB Dev Board]] ===
A great example project using the CP2102 USB to TTL UART IC as well as some basic battery holder info.

=== [[Chalk Roach]] ===
Ultra simple microcontroller development board for Atmel ATmega32 = 16MHz, 2KB SRAM, 16KB Flash

=== [[#6]] ===
Son of Chalk Roach

=== LED displays ===

* [[24" Wall Clock]] A really big wall clock. Why? Well, cause it might look cool? Probably not. But we do use GPS to get the time! Groovy.

* [[POV display]] that spins around, giving the illusion of a large display. ([[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]])

=== [[Cellular Rotary Phone]] ===
An indepth breakdown of the Port-O-Rotary. Some clues to help you avoid audio problems with the GM862.

=== [[Das Brewmeister!]] ===
An attempt to wirelessly monitor temperatures of fermentation vessels

=== [[Fermenter Controller]] ===
A web available fermenter vessel controller. Uses PICs, i2c, Rs232 and python.

=== [[Home controller]] ===
Program your appliances to operate automatically in conjunction with your weekly and daily schedule, manually turn them on/off from your PC or use the controller as a process ON/OFF controller to regulate some kind of physical variable to the desired value.

=== [[Interactive Lock Box]] ===
An interesting project using an accelerometer and capacitive touch ICs.

=== [[Motor driver]] (H-bridge) ===

=== [[Atomic Microscope]] ===
An atomic-resolution microscope.
* STM (scanning tunnelling microscope)
* AFM (atomic force microscope)

=== [[BlueICE]] ===
A bluetooth JTAG ICE debugger for AVR's!!!

=== [[Sortof-Networked RFID Reader]] ===
A 125Khz RFID Reader with a simple RS232 based ring network - to allow connection of multiple units to the same control computer.

''Consider using [http://zytrax.com/tech/layer_1/cables/tech_rs232.htm#rj45 "RS-232D", aka "EIA/TIA-561"]. It has all the same wires and voltages as RS-232, but specifies a RJ45 connector.''

''Also consider RS-485.''

(What is the name of the standard for RS-485 on RJ14 ("4 wire RJ-11") or RJ45 ?)

=== Battery charger ===

See [http://elecdesign.com/Article/ArticleID/1823/1823.html "Build A Smart Battery Charger Using A Single-Transistor Circuit"] by Ejaz ur Rehman.
But be sure to read the "Reader Comments" at the end.
The suggestion to add a zener diode is a good idea.

=== the Open Graphics Project ===

[http://linux.wordpress.com/2006/07/19/introducing-the-open-graphics-project/ the Open Graphics Project]
a project started by chip-designer Timothy Miller.
His goal, along with the rest of the project, known as the “Open Graphics Foundation” is to make a 3D accelerated video card which is fully documented, free-licensed, and open source.
See [http://wiki.duskglow.com/tiki-index.php?page=Open-Graphics the Open Graphics wiki].
