• Implemented the firmware using C and C30 compiler in MPLAB IDE

• Implemented ADC, SPI, RS-232, Symmetric FIR Filter, FFT modules for Electronic Ear project

• Involved in designing an application using Zigbee protocol for a chemical plant’s automation system

using Microchip MRF24J40 Microcontroller. Zigbee protocol being a low power wireless

communication protocol served as a low cost device for controlling motor’s speed and monitoring its

performance remotely

• Real-time debugging technique was used to debug the code to find bugs in the code. The system is

connected to a computer for debugging process. Separate lines of code were written within a code for

debugging which sends data to the computer through serial communication which was viewed on

HyperTerminal on the respective communication port.

• Designed various test case scenarios for Electronic Ear by collecting real data samples from a

chemical plant
