Welcome to Lifeng's Home Page
Hi, glad you stopped by. First a little history. This is the third incarnation of my home page. I made the first one when I was a sophomore in high school. It had few pictures of Beavis and Butthead and some outdated info on hacking. When I was taking CSCI 15A, one of the assignments was to create a web page. Even though my old page met all the requirements, I felt I had to use some of my newly acquired skills. So I created a totally new page that featured frames, cgi, java scripts, etc. That page was pretty flashy, but it seriously lacked original content. In this version 3.0 I hope to contribute some useful info in the areas of electronics and robotics.
Projects:
"Testy"
-- the Analogic IC tester. This device tests digital ICs,
analog ICs, diode, transistors, capacitors, and even inductors.
"Icarus"
-- the Light Tracker. This light tracking robot won first place at the 2001 AIME Light Tracker Competition.
"That's Wrong" -- The Square Mouse. This Micro Mouse competed in
numerous IEEE Region 6 Micro Mouse competitions.
"Lithium"
-- The uMouse. This is the Micromouse I worked on during Spring 2002.
"Maximice Li+ Charger" Charges
1 to 4 lithium-ion cells safely and rapidly. Now available for sale!
"Soma" -- This is the Micromouse I worked on during Spring
2003.
"Simple Serial" -- USB 2
Serial Converter. Made it cause the chips and PCB were free.
"Soma
2" -- Partially stuffed Micromouse board; abandoned due to lack
of time.
"Soma Zero" -- This is the Micromouse I worked on during Spring
2004.
Winner of the 2004 IEEE Region 6 competition!
Micromouse Stuff:
Chico State Micromouse (2000 - 2003) -- now with 35% more juicy tidbits
UCSB Micromouse -- home of the Green Machine (4 time 1st place winner)
Free Micromouse Parts -- don't be too greedy and ruin it for the rest of us
Recommended Readings -- useful websites, PDFs and books
IEEE Stuff:
FAQ -- How to be a parts manager
Help Section for ECE186 -- labels for the parts etc
