Projects
SMART Pill dispenser
- Engineered a 4-layer modular PCB incorporating MCU, NEMA 17 stepper motors, A4988 drivers, various sensors, and power regulation circuitry to ensure robust system performance.
- Collaborated closely with cross-functional teams to align firmware functionality of mechanical 3D despensers with anti-jamming features, achieving reliable singlepill dispensing
- Developed embedded firmware in C/C++ for ESP32 to control NEMA 17 stepper motors, manage sensor feedback, and handle real-time medication scheduling
FPGA & Embedded System Development:
- Integrated ZYNQ7 Processing System using Vivado IDE and Xilinx SDK, connecting FPGA fabric with ARM Cortex-A9 for embedded processing to build dice game.
- Utilized Xilinx SDK libraries for hardware/software co-design, optimizing game logic, serial communication using UART libraries, and real-time data transfer between FPGA and C# GUI.
Temperature Monitoring System
- Programmed system firmware in embedded C for LPC1114 MCU, implementing real-time temperature sensing (ADC), timer interrupts for sampling, and UART-based Bluetooth communication.
- Windows .NET GUI Integration: Developed a C# desktop application (.NET Framework) to configure sampling rates/units via Bluetooth, visualizing sensor data with dynamic graphs and controls.
