Project Ideas

While looking for the project ideas, several things came in my mind and on the google search page as well :D few of them are shown below:

Smart Helmet for bikers

This is how the helmet looks



Smart Vaccum

Smart Vaccum

Microcontroller based wire cutter

Microcontroller based wire cutter using scissor


After thinking about above mentioned ideas, I thought it would be better to make the Microcontroller based Wire Cutter. Since it can be used in our lab and also at the other Engineering labs of our University.

  • Looking further at the idea
  • Thinking further about how the project will work, I had following points:

    1. An interface showing the data, like the length of wire and number of pieces to be cut
    2. Some buttons to select and change the menu
    3. A motor driver circuit that will operate the stepper motor
    4. and finally a mechanism to operate the cutter

  • Further details and progress can be seen at the Final Project Page.
