LED Dice
Fully custom made LED Dice PCB
What?
Selected a LED dice circuit schematic from online to create a physical model from
Composed mainly of a 555 timer, 4017 counter, resistors, and LEDs, all powered on 9V
How?
Designed the PCB traces in Fritzing
Printed the traces onto a copper board using special photocopier paper and acetone
Etched the design onto the copper board using a combination of chemicals
Drilled holes and soldered over 30 components to the exposed copper board
Results?
Reduced number of jumper wires by 33%
Built a functional portable LED dice with 0 errors in soldering or components
Learned a lot about the entire process of making a custom working PCB
Understood how to troubleshoot electronics using a schematic and multimeter
Interchangeable Sprockets and Adapter
Designed a topologically optimized sprocket adapter and set of sprockets for UWFE's driveline subsystem
Motor Guard
Designed and manufactured an FSAE rules legal scatter guard to enclose the EMRAX 228
Chain Guard
Designed and manufactured an FSAE rules legal scatter guard for the driveline subsystem
Trace It
Trace It is a hands on target practice toy, utilizing two motors and an infrared gun
Capturally
An EV3 robot that can capture videos and images using tracking and keyframes
Curtiss-Wright Co-op Projects and Designs
Mechanical designs and rapid prototyping at Curtiss-Wright
Final Drive Ratio Analysis
Performed analysis on UWFE 2026 vehicle to determine appropriate gear ratios
Differential Assembly and Spacers
Ensuring critical rotation and mounting of the custom limited slip differential
Harness Mounts and Jigs
I created four pairs of chassis harness mounts to ensure the driver has a legal harness for Formula SAE Electric events.
Chassis Front Enclosure Mount
Created a laser cut jig in order to accurately position the front enclosure mount within 2 millimeters laterally and longitudinally
Half Shaft Plungers
R&D Propulsion task for UWFE Driveline subteam
TT Motor Dynamometer
I constructed a dynamometer out of TETRIX to measure the speed and torque characteristics of a TT motor
