9 years ago Of-course, this is just for undergraduates. Grad students can still be a part of the project, but you can't be on the application and it still has to mainly belong to one of the undergrads.

9 years ago Great idea. Let's get a list of projects together as well as interested contributors to tackle this. I am willing to work/support all the projects however I can. The deadline is coming up fast, so we need to sort this out quickly.

9 years ago I can't say for sure if I'll be in Raleigh for the summer, but if I am I am totally interested in doing one of these projects. If I'm in Charlotte for an internship then I'd be interested in doing something remotely.

9 years ago The stepper motor controller sounds like an excellent candidate for this, and I think would be very reasonable for a summer project

9 years ago I think a PCB of the flyback converter project is also a great idea

9 years ago I thought of doing something like micro-pneumatics or micro-hydraulics for really small parts or for around electronics.

9 years ago I think the stepper motor controller is too small to be a real project.
The design is already fleshed out and complete, and all that's left is to make a PCB if that's needed and possibly make it as a breakout-board.

9 years ago I'd assume all EE projects would end in a PCB, and although it isn't a advanced circuit for a senior, it'd be an awesome learning experience for a freshman or sophomore, remember we didn't use 555 timers to blink LEDs till ECE212. I suppose it depends on what they mean by research.
Check out this link https://www.tindie.com/products/TEMProducts/stepperstack-multi-purpose-stepper-controller/
Wouldn't that be a bad-ass thing to implement in a cape for the bone? It would be a full on open-source hardware project when finished too

9 years ago I liked the creation of a Beaglebone MSP430 cape that Josh suggested.
It would essentially be a simplified version of the senior design project that we proposed before.
It would involve designing a daughter-board for the beaglebone, which takes commands from the beaglebone via i2c, and exposes all of the IO of the msp430 to another set of headers.
This would also be a good excuse to get funding for another beaglebone.

9 years ago A reminder that the deadline for this is coming up. I know there are a few us us with considerable interest. If there is a project you want to do, the time to move and create a proposal is now, remember there are both individual and team proposals.

9 years ago The projects I'm tracking are:
1) The stepper motor controller cape 2) The flyback converter cape 3) A network cape to replace our current wifi-setup
Does anyone specifically want to tackle one of these projects? We need to be able to attach names to the applications.

9 years ago Hey everyone, grants for the fall close June 22.
If you have any ideas, please make a document in the 'project proposals' folder in the google drive.

9 years ago They just extended the deadline until the 29th if anyone has any last minute ideas.

Applications for summer undergraduate research grants is open, and I think this would be a good way to get funding as well as a good way for members to "double-dip" their time since whatever you work on could be a research project as well as contributing to the team.
Let me know if you have any ideas.
