This tutorial is part of a project that is conceived as a Narcan first aid-kit stored on public transportation. Once the engineer of a train is notified of a prospective overdose, they can hit a button which will unlock the first aid-kit in the car. Once the kit is unlocked, the passenger needs to hit […]
INTORDUCTION In this tutorial, we are going to use the FONA 808 breakout board along with Arduino to make a cool geofencing project. The geofencing violation happens when the opioid user (with opioid box) leaves the area where they are allowed to use the medicine. When that behavior happens, the LED will turn on, the […]
This tutorial will first introduce the hall effect sensor we used in our project and then cover how to control the RGB LED display using the output from the sensor. We design an intelligent reagent kit for addicted people to help them control the drug usage. What this tutorial will talk about is the magnet […]
Team Member: Michael Cooley; Junya Chen; Yuchen Zhang The problem: Unsheltered homeless people experience extreme risk for hyperthermia in winter and efforts from the office of Homeless Services to get individuals inside rely solely on word of mouth: Homeless people who live on the street in winter are very vulnerable because low temperatures in the winter […]
Team members: Sagari Datta, Shuchang Dong, & John Michael LaSalle. The Problem : Risk hiding behind the splendid river bank Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO) occur when rain overwhelms combined sewer systems leading to untreated sewage entering rivers. This can make the water unsafe for human contact and harms aquatic organism health. The Schuylkill River in […]
Team members: Kefan Long, Yayin Cai, Ran Xin What is the problem? Vision zero is gaining momentum across the world. First developed by the Sweden Transport Administration in 1995, Vision zero has quickly proven to be a successful strategy in saving lives across Europe and is now adopted by many large American cities. By January […]
Team members: Kristen Nicole Scudder, Li Zhuang, and Yuyang Yin The Problem: Underserved Vulnerable Pedestrians at the Intersection Many intersections today are built for the average pedestrian but are not as accommodating for those with limited mobility that need more time or assistance to cross a busy street intersection safely. Examples of these populations may […]

Train Platform Optimization: Platy++
Team Members: Neil Narayan, Chin Yee Lee, and Leonardo Harth The Problem: Market-Frankford Line System Capacity SEPTA is currently looking for ways to improve performance on their most heavily used rail line: The Market-Frankford Line. To improve capacity, SEPTA has piloted A/B trains at peak and has started removing seats from trains. One area that […]

Indicate water conductivity with an LED
In this tutorial, you will build a device that detects the conductivity of water and use it to control the brightness of an LED light. The conductivity of pure water is very low, but it increases when substances are dissolved in it (Check out this page from the USGS for more on the science behind […]
Introduction: Welcome to my Led Strip tutorial. This tutorial uses the Neopixel library by Adafruit. It is part of the Platy++ project, developed with Chin Yee Lee and Neil Narayan. It was originally done in an Arduino Uno. Here is what you are going to need: 01 Arduino UNO Board 01 Breadboard 01 330Ω Resistor […]
