Artifact - Embedded Systems Final Project

For our final project in our embedded systems class, we were given free reign to make pretty much whatever we wanted, as long as it integrated at least two sensors and actuators. For our project, my partner and I decided to make a "self-balancing" cup. The cup has a gyroscope mounted on it, which detects its orientation and a water level sensor which makes sure that no water has spilled. It continuously monitors the orientation of the cup and rotates it so that it is upright using a motor. It also outputs the angles and a status light which indicates if the cup is upright or not.

Though this project is a little silly, it was the culmination of everything we learned in this class, and others. It required us to harness a variety of different skills in order to achieve our desired outcome.
