Volt Vision has been sponsoring Engineering Senior Design Projects with Penn State Behrend and Gannon University since 2007.  The arrangement is great for everyone involved because it brings exciting, real-world design projects directly into the academic path of the students.  They quickly learn that real-life design is not the same as being in a predictable classroom!

Volt Vision Senior Design Team from Penn State Behrend University 2008-2009.   The project was to use a Freescale Coldfire processor to perform DSP processing on an incoming real-time audio stream.  The real-time information was mapped to control Volt Vision RGB LED products.  The photo shows a custom RGB LED sign fitted with Volt Vision’s RGB LED products, which was used in the demonstration.
