The Automated Polygonal ElectroMagnetic ACcelerator or APEMAC for short was a one year project that I finished on November 2013. 12 sides, 12 coils, 12 Leds, 12 Sensors, 12 transistors, a sphere and a lot of programming and patience together with some aluminium resulted to an nice working accelerator.The voice commands really work but could not be included in the video.
Also lots of thanks to Crumpy_Mike for all his help with the transistors.
The voice commands do the following :
Calibration of sensors
Start the acceleration/deceleration sequence
Eneble/Disable the mentioned/all coils
Also for every voice command and generally any action in the accelerator or program, messages are played through the speakers.
I used the computer's microphone for the voice commands and the stt. Cool library by the way !!!
Hahaha it's true ! I calculated the needed pins for the entire CERN and found out that one Uno is not enough. Two may make the change !!! lol
Seriously though, my design and idea was kinda based on CERN !!! That is why I built my accelerator in the first place...
