EE-Connect_
As part of a yearlong junior group project class (EEC105ABC), I and seven classmates developed an electronic project with the goal of inspiring K-12 students to discover ECE prior to college. We designed an electronic version of the classic Connect-Four, replacing the pucks with "dropping" LEDs and the "dropping" feature with buttons. Find full details on our group website! (click)
» 3D printed, laser cut, and etched modular cells to easily combine and serve as "holes"
» Developed custom space-saving PCBs with Altium to illuminate each modular cells
» Programmed MCU in C to interface with six buttons and serve as the logic for detecting all Connect Fours
» Designed a double-sided stand resistant to tipping over, ensuring safety for our K-12 audience
E-Bike Transformation_
As part of a sponsored STEM competition, I led our group of six friends tasked with engineering a regular bike into a functional E-bike without the use of any DIY kits (easily found on Amazon). Although cancelled by COVID, our project concluded with a $1,000 award granted to our group by SVCE.
» Assembled 48V-25A (1000W) battery system with 18650 Li-ion cells for hub motor
» Installed BMS to guarantee safe charge/discharging of batteries during movement and regenerative braking
» Developed custom connectors for battery pack to enable seamless charging
» Programmed motor controller to interface with motor using a throttle on handlebars
» Customized spokes on rear with to accomodate for the hub motor
Music Detecting Robot_
As part of a sophomore interdisciplinary class (EEC 10), I configured a basic robot to self-sustainingly detect music (audio input) and begin move towards it as fast as possible.
» Built two op-amp microphone circuits to receive analog input from sound waves
» Soldered circuit components onto protoboard to increase reliability
» Programmed logic in C onto TI MSP430 MCU to convert analog signals into digital output, directing the robot to move forward, backwards, left, and right towards music source
Pong on MCU
As part of a sophomore microcontroller class (EEC 7), I programmed the original Atari PONG game onto an LCD. Made to be playable with either analog joystick input or simple up/down buttons embedded onto the MCU.
