General Overview

Students are to develop a hardware/device that would detect open parking spaces (i.e. in garages, open parking lots, etc.)
Students will utilize Raspberry Pi 5, alongside appropriate Raspberry Pi 5 Kits (that include sensors, wires, and anything that would be needed)
Students will program the Raspberry Pi 5 using the C programming language and/or MATLAB.
Students will utilize GitHub to ensure code is up to date with everyone within their team.
Students will utilize Excel and/or other appropriate software of choice for developing models and prototypes
Students will utilize Excel and/or other appropriate software of choice for developing test plans and testing results to present

3D Printing

You are allowed to 3D Print parts as necessary for your project. You may use your own 3D printer/materials OR you may utilize the 3D Print Lab located in Rhodes Hall 801 on UC's Main Campus.

To submit a print request to the 3D Print Lab on Main Campus:

1. Go to www.3dprinteros.com

2. Sign in using your UC login under the SSO option

3. Under the files tab, click add files in the top right

4. Add your STL file

5. Click layout next to your file

6. Click on bed, center, and optimal rotate

7. Hit slice in the top right

8. Select desired settings

9. Click print in top right and queue to an available printer

Note: If a certain color is desired, put it as a note in your request

Any questions or concerns about the 3D Print Lab on Main Campus can be addressed to the 3D Print Lab Manager:
