Project

Digital Handpan

Collaborated with a team of 3 students to design a unique digital handpan device for optimizing real world sound

Programed the teensy audio board and teensy audio design tool to collect and implement signal processing

Played the notes on capacitive touch pads with adjustable octave and recorded sound samples

Looped these samples when played back to create your unique music

Mini Robotic Arm

Built a mini robotic arm with manual control and automation mode

Designed a 3-axis robotic arm with micro servo motors and controlled by microcontroller (Arduino)

Developed algorithm to autonomously perform a set of motions to the servo arm

Programed the algorithm to record the motion onto Arduino dynamic memory

PCB designed with Eagle and soldering of PCB board for entire circuit

Digital Design of Adder

Built a carry lookahead adder in Cadence to improve speed and power efficiency over traditional CLA architecture

Implemented custom digital logic gates at the transistor level for a bottom-up digital design

Modeled integrated circuit physical design (Layout Cellview) and verified with Cadence tools(DRC/LVS)

Improved vanilla CLA design in terms of speed and power and ultimately an operating frequency greater than 2.3GHz

Rapid Prototyping of Cryptographic Hash Functions

Implemented Super Hash Function with SHA-1, SHA-256, and MD 5 algorithms in System Verilog

Optimized using pipelining to reduce hardware area and CPU clock cycles

Embedded System and Control-Line Follower Robot

Designed a line follower robotic car with Arduino and basic PID control for steering

Built hardware chassis for the robot using Solidworks and 3D printer

Calibrated the photoresistors and system integration with PID control

Collected, analyzed, and minimized the error by adjusting the PID values to the best performance for competition
