I am passionate about building machines, whether it is a 108L marine engine or state of an art IOT device.
I spent 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 for it. Having 3D scanners available an idea struck me to build a turntable. Here 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 language for microcontrollers.
Lastly, every part is 3D printed on my customized 3D printer which I will elaborate in the next section.
The backbone of all my prototypes, scratch ideas, 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 added a raspberry pi zero 2 W for adding IoT capability to my printer along with LED which is PWM controlled and support power on/ off via a relay module.
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.
