PROJECTS:

Articulated Lean Compensated Bike Headlights Summer 2017

• Designed self-adjusting headlight for bikes to increase visibility around curves and over hills

• Determined tilt of the bike using ultrasonic sensors, two stepper motors were used to control the pitch and yaw of the light Automated Laser tracking using LDRs and PID control Spring 2017

• Mounted laser on stepper motor to track a moving target with mounted LDRs

• Created moving target using a linear slider controlled using PID Bluetooth Mesh Lighting Control Fall 2018

• Provisioned multiple Bluegecko nodes into the Bluetooth mesh network; controlled LEDs individually or as a group Object tracking using OpenCV Spring 2017

• Tracked object of a particular color using continuous capture; traced path of movement of object and displayed direction

• Created dedicated threads for each functionality; used semaphores to achieve desired sequence, avoid concurrency issues DC motor control using GSM module and other sensors Fall 2016

• Designed a custom embedded system board from the scratch with 8051, RS232 interface for UART communication

• Controlled speed and direction of the motor by sending commands through text message GPS Tracker Fall 2016

• Transmitted GPS coordinates from one BeagleBone to other using Xbee transceivers DMA, SPI with External Peripherals and Code Abstraction Fall 2016

• Wrote custom memmove function using DMA to achieve better speed

• Transmitted command packets from one kl25z to control the LED on another using Nordic transceivers and SPI interface RELEVANT COURSES:

Embedded Systems Design, Real-Time Embedded Systems, Embedding sensors and actuators, Internet of Things Embedded Firmware, Low Power Embedded Design Techniques, Advanced Computer Architecture, Object Oriented Analysis and Design, WLAN, Embedded Software Essentials
