Graduate Level Projects
Implemented a communication system between 2 nodes of a CAN bus using Arduino
Implemented power windows using motor control via CAN bus. Programmed using Arduino in C++ to
implement communication between two MCP2515 CAN Controllers
Temperature Measurement and Display on LCD using LM35 and Arduino
Interfaced LM35 and Arduino with 16 2 LCD module which constantly monitors temperature around the measurement field/range of LM35 and displays the same on LCD module
A Security Door-lock with keypad on a Xilinx Spartan FPGA
Designed State machines for the Door lock and the implementation using Xilinx IDE on the Xilinx Spartan Board. Ability to set a 4-digit passkey and Arm or Disarm the lock. Implemented using Verilog
Compiler Design Project:
Designed a Compiler to C++ language to produce MIPS assembly code used Linux Operating Systems and Compiler generator tools lex and yacc.
Directory-based Cache Coherence Protocol for Power-Aware Chip Multiprocessors
Investigated the integration of a directory-based cache coherence protocols for the last level shared cache(L2/L3) for power-aware CMP architectures. Used C programming language.
Computer vision based vehicle detection for toll collection system using embedded Linux
Designed a System which based on Computer Vision vehicle detection using OpenCV library in Embedded Linux platform. System is designed using Embedded Linux development kit (Raspberry pi) Programming language used in the project is Python.
Integration of GUI with FreeRTOS on Cortex M4 based Microcontroller (STM32F4 discovery board)
Ported FreeRTOS to STM32F4 discovery board and displayed a GUI (mimics level of fluid in a container) on LCD. A tool named Ultimate++ is used to develop GUI and visual C++ is used for simulation
Implementing RTOS on MSP 430 to Control Parallel Boost for MFC (Microbial Fuel Cell) Charging applications
The application of Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) to handle the multitasking process on MSP 430 to control parallel boost converter with load sharing algorithm for MFC battery charging application.
VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface)
VCI is an OBD-II (On Board Diagnostics) compliant device that would communicate with any OBD-II enabled car and read back real-time data as well as perform basic performance testing and diagnostics. This uses the OBD-II port under your steering wheel to receive all kinds of information and is used by auto mechanics for troubleshooting and for periodic emissions tests with onboard sensors.
