This is a continuation of the Build your own UAV Predator drone. In this section I cover the configuration of the UAV and the testing. The main connection between the Raspberry Pi and the flight controller will be done through… Continue Reading →
The idea behind this project was pretty simple; can you build your own open source UAV drone for a fraction of the cost of a predator drone? The answer is yes with some limitations on distance and payload. This project… Continue Reading →
Using a PIC18 MCU a IR motion detector circuit that is currently configured for security purposes was built. The code and I/O devices can be changed for other functions such as triggering an automatic door with a servo or many… Continue Reading →
This project consisted of building two separate devices to receive and transmit a signal over the FM spectrum of 88 to 108 MHz. Originally the idea was to make a discrete pirate radio station that can be easily transported inside… Continue Reading →
Random 3D SolidWorks designs and modeling.
The goal of this project is to analyzed an RF data file (.dat) that included airband AM signals captured around Palo Alto Airport ATIS, using an RTL-SDR tunner centered at 135.5 MHz. Through the use of Matlab and provided functions… Continue Reading →
This was mostly a learning opportunity to teach myself how to use a low-level programing language in programming a microcontoller. I have always been fascinated with early programming languages, but assembly code had always seemed to be like a complete… Continue Reading →
This was a contribution to a section of a Rube Goldberg machine for a college science building grand opening. The request was to build a rocket launch device that when triggered by a rolling golf ball would pull a cord as… Continue Reading →
Discovered a Jacobs L5MB radial power plant that was destined for the scrap yard.
