Projects
• DATA Acquisition Unit - Low-Cost DAQ unit for a Formula Student Car(ESP 32, CAN
networking{SN65HVD230}, Communication protocols{I2C, SPI, UART}) Designed, developed and deployed a
low-cost and reliable DAQ system to record data of various dynamic parameters of a formula student car, that is used by other
engineers to validate their designs and monitor the performance of the overall car and quantitatively analyze any design change
or improvement in driver performance.
• Telemetry System - Long-Range High-Speed Wireless Telemetry System(ESP 32, Arduino Mega, Xbee S2C,
LoRa, Processing, Communication protocols{I2C, SPI, UART}) Designed wireless telemetry system to transmit high
frequency data packets(upto 50Hz) for long range communication to a Base station. The base station ’Supervisor’ node device
can be used to translate setting changes or inflict operations on the telemetry station device.
• Engine Harness - Designed Lightweight, Low Cost and Reliable Harness for Professional Motorsports wiring
(Software Tool: Rapid Harness; skills: crimping, soldering, connector selection) Designed and Installed Professional
autosport grade wiring harness with individual selection of each component and implementation of good engineering practices
like strain relief at each vulnerable point, leading to a reliable and long-lasting high-performance harness design.
• BSPD Circuit - Designed Safety Circuit for Vehicles (Software Tool: KiCad, EasyEDA, LTSPICE) Designed
safety circuit for vehicles to constantly monitor the sensor data of brake pressure sensor and throttle position sensor to make
sure both the systems are working properly. The system shuts off the car if any implausibility is detected in the data
• LoRa Detect - Detection of LoRa Messages using SDR(RTL-SDR) on GNU Radio (Software Tool: GNU
Radio on Ubuntu) Detection of LoRa communication for preventing misuse in high-risk areas, gr-Lora project by rpp0 used
for deploying physical layer of LoRa comm protocol on the RTL-SDR.
• ECU Configuration - Basic Configuration and analysis of data from a custom ECU(Software Tool:
PE3Monitor, PEViewer; ECU: PE3-8400P) Configuration of engine settings, debugging, and recorded engine data
collection from PE3 ECU using PE3Monitor, Plotting and visualization of CSV file data using PEViewer.
• Line follower - Maze solving IR line follower(Arduino nano, H-bridge Motor Driver(TB6612FNG), Magnetic
Encoders(Hall Effect); Software Tool: Arduino IDE, VS code, Platformio) Designed maze-solving IR line follower
with 8 IR LEDs, using PID control loop and motor encoder for high-speed line following and implemented LSRB algorithm to
solve a maze and store the fastest maze path in memory.
• BL Touch - Automatic Bed Levelling for FDM 3d-printers(VS code, Platformio, Marlin) Added auto bed leveling
functionality to a personal Ender-3 FDM printer using a probe-based proximity sensor to skew the 3d design in G-code to be
paralleled to the non-linear topological matrix of the build surface instead of the rudimentary method of paralleling the build
plate by feeler gauge and spring loaded mounting bolts.
• Star Guide - Design of a crude Telescope pointer.(Arduino Uno, Joysticks, Matrix Numpad, Servos, Wokwi)
Designed a crude two-degree-of-freedom telescope pointer that can take input Star coordinates in the form of Azimuth and
Elevation Angles or can be controlled directly using linear potentiometer joysticks.
• Solar Panel Cleaner - Bluetooth-controlled 4-wheeled Solar Panel Cleaner Robot.(Arduino Uno, H-Bridge
Motor Driver(L298), Bluetooth to Serial UART Module(HC05) Designed a 4-wheeled crude solar panel cleaner robot
with a roller brush and vipers, controlled remotely by a bluetooth app.
Products
Sheer cell Tester Freelance
• ESP32, Load Cell, Arduino IDE, Excel, Stepper Motor, Stepper Motor Driver May 2022 - July 2023
Designed electronics of a setup to acquire force measurement data using bar Load Cells to determine the sheer stress
required for the flow of sample powder at different normal stress. Sheer cells are used extensively in research and
industry to determine Powder Flow Functions and flow-ability of powders.
Impedance Tube Development Reserch and Development
• NI LabVIEW, DAQ-MX, GRAS freefield Microphone, cDAQ-9174, NI-9232, NI-9263 May 2023 - Dec 2023
Designed a low-cost two-mic impedance tube setup for acoustic measurements of the sample, providing
high-resolution data of the absorption coefficient vs frequency of the material, developed in-house specifically for
testing the effectiveness of 3D-printed acoustic meta-materials.
Smart Energy Management(in development) Mentoring
• Mentoring, Team Building, Work Delegation, Feedback, Troubleshooting Dec 2022 - present
Mentoring and guiding junior undergraduate students in designing and deploying an end-to-end finish product for
monitoring the presence of people in a room and controlling the air-conditioner to optimize the AC run time and
minimize the use of electricity.
