Cosmic Ray Detector on Blue Origin's Rocket New Shepard
Junior Project by team "Team Rocket"
A major upgrade to our Freshman Project, this payload will measure and collect data about cosmic charged particles. To be launched on an upcoming Blue Origin New Shepard suborbital flight.
Primitive Oscilloscope on an FPGA
Digital Electronics II (a 4th semester course) Project
Reads values from external 2-channel ADC via SPI. Displays waveforms on a monitor via VGA. Programmed Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA in SystemVerilog with Vivado. The monitor shows 2 analog and 4 digital channels, and 7-seg displays show voltages of analog channels.
Sophomore Project by team "The Handymen"
The Handy Appendage for Nonlocal Distances (H.A.N.D.) is a robotic hand with 5 degrees of freedom (one for each finger). The robotic hand is wirelessly controlled by a glove worn by a user. Its main function is to mimic the user’s fingers in real-time. Features other modes of operation.
Freshman Project by team "The Cow that Jumped Over the Muon"
A high-altitude balloon was launched with the muon-detection sensor, primarily utilizing a plastic scintillator and a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), in order to detect muons at varying altitudes in the troposphere and stratosphere. On board the payload, a micro-controller collected the data and sent it to a transmitter, which in turn relayed the data to a ground station.
Another Freshman Project
In addition to my main Freshman Project, I enrolled in another project class where we were tasked with programming a micro-controller to synthesize sound from MIDI commands.
Computer Environment (a 1st semester course) Project
In the last few weeks of CS 100 at DigiPen Institute of Technology, we were tasked with programming (in ARM Assembly and C) a miniature treaded vehicle to autonomously navigate an obstacle course.
