Quadcape is a Quadcopter entered to the 2014 intern design challenge for Texas Intruments. It was designed as a cape for the Beaglebone Black. It features a forward and downward facing camera, gps,bluetooth, wifi, a 10DOF IMU, and current and voltage monitoring.
FSK modem over a GSM Network
Spring,2014
Using the SIM900 module and a couple bandpass filters to decode FSK signals, I constructed a modem for Junior design.
Steering Wheel With Touch Detection
October 2012
Using a Synaptics forcepad, I made a steering wheel that accepted user input. The user could input commands using various gestures and forces. Media controls, AC, phone, and basic car dash functions were accessible, all without letting go of the wheel.
Glove keyboard
March, 2011
For my High School senior design project I designed a keyboard glove. In a similar fashion to Dvorak, I investigated the frequency of the keys in various texts by writing a script that parsed ebooks and counted percentage of each letter and symbol. Then I created the EON keyboard layout for one handed typing. More commonly used letters are in the front and easier to reach places, while letters like 'x' and 'z' are on the back of the hand. I sewed all the contacts on and created a control board using a Parallax Basic Stamp 2 in addition to TI PCF8574 port extender. I then timed 30 people using a program I wrote that requested random letters and compared it to a control of them typing with two hands on a conventional keyboard. I presented the results at the Brevard County Science Fair in 2011.
