A bubble tube with LCD.

Status: Done.

A digital bubble tube implemented in a CPLD. Showing the angle in degrees on a LCD-display.

The base of the project is a xlinx CPLD. An LCD-display attached to this shows the current relative angle against a xy-plane. An accelerometer output a pulse width moduleated pulse relative to the G-forces in the two earth directions which the CPLD messaures and convert to angles using a lookup table in memory. The angles for x and y are displayed on the LCD. This project was a part of the digital contruction course at Chalmers and has been developed by Johan Böhlin, Michael Bodin, Patrik Opacic and Peiman Khorramshahi.
