HARDWARE CONTROL

A System based on hardware and software.

A hardware control project can be a hardware device using PIC, PLC controllers or controlled by PC. The originality, usability and functionality is important.

Hardware includes: PCs, networks, micro controllers, DSPs, PICs, А/D and D/А converters, OP amplifiers, transistors, diodes, digital circuits, memories, sensors, video cameras, power supplies, passive components, loudspeakers, microphones, antennas, mobile phones, LC displays, optoelectronic components, thiristors, power transistors, modems and similar devices.

Software includes: C, C++, Delphi, MatLab, Visual Basic, Java, C#, Emulating programs for PICs, Programs for DSP, Signal processing and similar applications.

The basic aim of this category is to provide young engineers from diverse subfields and a competing and study chance on hardware controls, electronics devices designs.

The project must be realized, shouldn't be a project only on the paper. If it's a big sized project, at least a working prototype should be built. The hardware should be controlled by a software program, shouldn't be a device which has only manual control. For pre selection phase, a video clip which demonstrates the project, 3D models, photos, plans and building instructions should be sent.

Note: This category is open for all students: high school and university
