Student Scientific Session 2015
Technical University - Gabrovo, BG
Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Electronics
The commission in this field was: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Eng. Stanimir Sadinov - chairperson, and Assoc. Eng. Goran Goranov - member. The first prize was awarded to the report "Control of LED Matrix Display via Personal Computer", developed by Petyo Lazarov, a student from the 4th year of Computer Science and Technology.
Petyo Lazarov, first prize in the field of "Electrical Engineering and Electronics": This was my first time participating in the session. It was a challenge for me. There were many great projects and interesting analyses.
My participation is owed to Assoc. Eng. Ivan Simeonov and my academic advisor, Assoc. Borislav Petrov leads my exercises in microprocessor technology, for which I am grateful.
The project I presented at the Student Scientific Session is part of my development for my thesis on the topic "Control of an LED Matrix Display via a Personal Computer." It involves working with microcontrollers, programming at the application level, as well as software development. In addition to the code I've integrated into the microcontroller, I've also written user-level control software. The novelty in the topic is that the connection of the user software, through which the message is displayed on the display, is achieved via a Bluetooth module. Another challenge is that it can write in both Latin and Cyrillic with uppercase and lowercase letters.
Since I was little, it has been my hobby to work with computers. Technical University - Gabrovo was the right choice for me. I am attracted to nanotechnologies and robotics in science. This is the field in which I want to expand my knowledge and realize myself professionally.
