PROJECT: Raspberry-Pi Based Waveform Generator
A waveform generator is a commonly used test and measurement instrument in electronics laboratories. Waveforms of different functions, frequencies, and amplitude levels are often required to test the functionality of electronic circuits. Although the circuit presented is not a complete substitute for a laboratory-grade signal generator, it serves as a waveform/signal generator with widely used standard waveforms, such as sinusoidal, square, triangular, and linear forward and reverse ramps under software control.

PROJECT: Wearable Automatic Assistance Glove
This proposed prototype works by wearing the glove and either touching a specific finger with the thumb or pressing a special switch. This action triggers a bell (buzzer) to ring automatically for 5 seconds, alerting others that assistance is needed. Additionally, the name of the requested item is displayed on the LCD screen for 10 seconds. This device has applications across various fields, including hospitals, offices, and even restaurants.
