Projects
1. Seal-Hat Embedded System:
Seal-Hat is a embedded system full of sensors to detecting the conditions of an Elephant Seal for three months. The chip is designed to be glued on seal and retrieve the data after three months. The sensors it included are EKG sensor (detecting Seal's Heart beat), IMU sensor (detecting the Seal's accelerate), temperature, and GPS.
​
Things I did:
-
Choose the MAX30003 chip for EKG sensor and wrote the helper functions for the system (including gain change, frequency setting and data retrieving);
-
Write the matlab script to test the data we retrieve from other sensors (not included GPS data)
​
2. Slug-War Robot:
slug-war robot is a five-week-to-finish robot to finish certain tasks. This robot involve track-wire circuit detection, sharp filter design (filter out signal below 1.5kHz and above 2.5kHz), C# state machine design and mechanical design.
​
Things I did:
-
Put the mechanical scheme into SolidWorks software with appropriate setup to make sure any small change without distorting the total design, and make sure there were no intersection points in our mechanical design;
-
Implement the tape-following circuit and write the software to read the feedback;
-
Design the robot's state-machine of tape-following and sub-state-machine to kill the final target
