Personal Projects
I am passionate about building machines, whether it is a 108L marine engine or state of an art IOT device. I spend my free time acquiring skills in the electrical and programming domain which I can apply to my mechanical designs to make cool machines. Here is some of my work:
Being an innovation engineer I often need to take a component and make a 3D model for it. For the design, I have utilized CATIA V5 as a CAD resource, a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller with a stepper motor and a driver. The device firmware is programmed in Python for microcontrollers. Lastly, every part is 3D printed.
The backbone of all my prototypes and rapid prototyping is this customized 3D printer. I have customized this low-cost printer to achieve a print quality that is as good as some which cost multiple thousands. I work on reducing mechanical vibrations, and structural rigidity of the frame, and currently, I am building my custom firmware for a custom motherboard. I have also added IoT capability with a Raspberry Pi.
I am working on building a weather station using an ESP32 microcontroller that supports IoT functions. Secondly, I am investing my time in building an RGB PWM-controlled LED light. For the same, I am building firmware, heatsinks, and mechanical enclosures.
