3D view

A system that stores and analyzes signals from different sensors. The system uses a hardware component that connects to a computer using a USB interface, and interfaces signals of different kinds (some even remote, using an RF link). The system uses simple .Net software to analyze the signals online, and to preform different kinds of tasks according to the signals. 

 The system was built in a part of a "Smart Home" project.

Stepper Motor

Stepper motors (also called step motors) are electronic motors that offer precise rotation control . Stepper motors are very precise (an average stepper motor can turn in about 0.9 to 1.8 degrees in each direction) and in a relatively high rotational speed.

Stepper motors can be found in various types of hardware components: printers (the printer head moves left and right by using a stepper motor), scanners, computer hard disks, and so on.

Matlab wave analysis

In this project we created a baby cry detection (recogniton) device. The device can recognize baby-cry while ignoring other sounds like human speech, music, and so on. The project consists of several phases, among them are research, a development of a unique digital signal processing algorithm, software development, physical creation of the circuits, physical creation of the device, and quality assurance tests.

The device was built for a customer, as a part of a patent appeal that involves the detection of baby-cry.

CNC MachineWhat is a CNC?

The abbreviation CNC stands for computer numerical control, and refers specifically to a computer "controller" that reads G-code instructions and drives a machine tool, a powered mechanical device typically used to fabricate components by the selective removal of material.


In simple words, a CNC is a machine which is controlled by a computer, and used to fabricate 3D objects.

This page will describe the process of building a CNC machine, from the design stage, the required materials and the process itself.
