    Bluetooth in Android & Netduino
    (2017-05-02) Libby, Rachael R.; Pash, Phil
    This is the senior design portfollio for Rachael R. Libby, CPET student at IUPUI. The project is to create a lab or two for the ECET434 class that will emphasize the students learning of the Android and Netduino environments while introducing the student to RF/serial communication between devices utilizing Bluetooth.

    Cape of Wonders Club
    (2022-08-07) Alyami, Bandar; Alghamdi, Mohammed; Weissbach, Robert; Lin, William; Pash, Phil; Freije, Elizabeth
    This project aims to create a cape of wonders club that includes technologies. This cape is a square piece of fabric material with electronics inside it, including a blood alcohol sensor, noise sensor, user input screen, and visual display. The electronics are integrated using a microcontroller, which acts as a brain to operate each electronic device. Two battery banks are built to power the electronics and ensure that the project can run for at least 6 hours. The project's two sensors are designed to produce readings. The blood alcohol sensor indicates the level of ethanol in the cape user's blood and displays the results to determine whether the user is below the legal limit or not. The noise sensor reads the music sound in the nightclub and converts it into patterns, which are then shown on the visual display. The visual display, on the other hand, will function as an output, displaying the music patterns. Furthermore, the visual display will exhibit emojis and shapes. The user input screen will allow the user to choose amongst Emojis, shapes, and patterns to be represented in the visual display. The developers of the project will work on building, coding, soldering, and testing these electronics to ensure that they function properly. They will ensure that this club cape is well-made and that it seems fashionable and appealing to the customers of the nightclub cape.

    INVERTED PENDULUM ON A CART SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT REPORT
    (2023-05-03) Vergara, Sergio; Aljishi, Hawra; Logan, Dylan; Freije, Elizabeth; Weissbach, Robert; Pash, Phil; Lin, William; Stephens, Craig
    The purpose of this project is to design and build an inverted pendulum system from an existing nonworking inverted pendulum system for the Engineering and Technology Department. Once completed, this system will be used for educational purposes for future students to observe code, understand the design, and study the physics of the system. We have tested our system numerous times with a variety of different device configurations so as to perfect the system. We have clearly labeled and documented everything, which will help when students are working on the system in the future. This document contains but is not limited to the information for our scope, design decisions, schematics, design blocks, bill of materials, and code. This was designed to show the finalized overview of our systems and what we presented at the end of the semester.

    Smart Seat Car Seat
    (2021-04-26) Sims, Donte; Hall, Evan; Diallo, Houssainatou; Weissbach, Robert; Goodman, David; Pash, Phil
    A solution to children being left and forgotten in their car seats while parents/guardians take a brief step away from the vehicle with the intent of returning shortly. The Smart Seat uses a temperature sensor to keep track of the interior temperature of the vehicle, an occupancy sensor to detect front seat presence for childcare, 2 force sensitive resistors (FSR) to detect child presence in the car seat, and a strobe light to alert the public when limits have been exceeded that a child has been left unattended. A raspberry pi is used as the brains of the operation. It has a feature to send text messages to the owner’s cell phone regarding child safety and to alert authorities.

    The Community Food Box IoT Project Report (Senior Design)
    (2024-05-26) Dersch, Hayden; Culpepper, Camren; Kempe, Jason; Weissbach, Robert; Freije, Elizabeth; Pash, Phil
    The Food Box IoT Project is an embedded system designed to assist the non-profit organization, Community Food Box Project (CFBP). CFBP provides 24/7 emergency food access through repurposed newspaper boxes in Indianapolis and Southern Indiana. As the number of served communities grows and the demand for food resources rises, there is a crucial need for a centralized virtual process to manage each food box. CFBP desires to remotely collect data from food boxes and provide users with up-to-date information about each box. Currently, the process is done by individuals conducting visual inspections of each food box and filling them as needed. Food box management is decentralized and lacks predictive data. CFBP provides a website with limited and static food box information. The Food Box IoT Project consists of a hybrid application linked to a microcontroller-sensor system. The software application features an interactive map or list view displaying food box details and locations, with native GPS navigation to each. Users interact by leaving feedback and reporting food boxes as empty. Secure admin accounts grant CFBP special permissions to manage system data. CFBP’s admin accounts can view user feedback, manipulate food box details, and add or delete food boxes. The hardware system uses sensor data collected by a microcontroller to update whether a specific food box is empty or not. The hardware and software systems are connected through an SQL database hosted by a web server. The hardware and software independently exchange data with the database. This architecture supports the deployment of two hardware system prototypes without impacting the functionality of the software system-wide.
