project ideas

[FordsRule]

hello all,

I thought it would be a good idea to ask before trying to make a rushed decission on a school electronics project......
the project needs to have this:
Electronic/Electrical
Mechanical
and control.

i am looking to make somthing using a PicAxe. any ideas of what i could make plz feel free to tell me what you think.....

since you must have mechanical control and PIC, I suggest that you use a PIC to make a stepper motor move with some type of control for CW and CCW or speed.

build a robot!! it's easier than u think,,or generally an automation system. e.g conveyor belt that detects an object and does something. what year are you in? I am asking to check out the difficulty level

also a part of washing machine...like say da running of motor & its control...kinda suits into electrical as well as mechanical

Try building a robotized hand It`s easyer than u think U need just stepper motors and drivers for them.

Drive a motor and sense the feedback. You can have direct servo control or A/D and tune the motor at the correct voltage to get the speed right. Try a different load and adjust the voltage.

may be a light chaser can have some fun 8)

Check out my post in Project Designs section: "Scientific American Projects " - there is a light chaser.
