The augmented reality project has a simple goal in mind, with potential modularity and modifiable aspects. This goal being a simple speech to text device that can calculate who, and where human speech is originating from. Using this information (collected via a multitude of sensors) the device will be able to output the spoken speech into a readable transcript and display it on, or nearby, the source of the identifiable noises.

BREAD DAQ is a Data Acquisition device that will be compatible with the overall BREAD project. It will have support for sensors with voltage and resistive outputs. The outputs of these sensors will be displayed as useful data on an LCD screen, as well as being saved in a database format on an SD card.

Electric Viola aims to strengthen the viola community by making the instrument more accessible. While commercial violas, both acoustic and electric, are retailed at hundreds to thousands of dollars, our open-source viola will cost just a fraction of that.
In addition to a significant reduction in cost, out viola will boast components useful to beginners and experts alike such as a built-in metronome and tuner. We also hope to have a small, high resolution LCD to present real-time information to the player.

The MTU College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science (CFRES) in partnership with the Michigan DNR is developing an experiment focused on mitigating the deleterious effects of white-nose syndrome on bats in abandoned mine hibernacula. Specifically, CFRES and DNR aim to lower the temperature within mines to reduce the growth rates of the fungus responsible for white-nose syndrome, while maintaining temperatures adequate for bat hibernation. The focus of this project is to develop a system to help implement the experiment by conditioning and pumping in external air and is to be completed by Spring 2024.

The KeWee Energy Meters project is all about designing a series of open-source power monitoring solutions. We design everything from the sensing hardware through the on-device code to the server infrastructure needed for an IoT project of this nature. We aim to design all our meters at competitively low prices and with the ability to deploy them on large scales.
