Thiago Avila and I are building a Smart Projector for our final mechatronics project. We are going to measure with a web cam where the screen is using image detection techniques. Then, use a PSoC controller, RS232, the Cypress CY3210-EVAL1, a servo, some motors, some fans, a laptop, a fresnel, a very bright light & ballast, a special lens, and a LCD monitor he tore apart to build an auto-focusing, auto-keystone correcting, home made theatre system.
We named it Hector, The Projector. Stay tuned.

Longest run on sentence ever. Yeah my projector has never been smarter than it will be in a few weeks. Oh yeah I am going to Ottawa on the way. This week I think I am going to start on the casing, and then do all the wood work at Natasha’s dads wood working shop, if you don’t mind that is. He has all the tooling to slot the edges of the boards, so all the pieces fit like lego… Think pre China furniture.
