Over a three-month period, contributed to Automation_Course_2025A by developing five features focused on hardware-software integration and learner enablement. Delivered a Python-based number base converter tool with a user interface, standardized project documentation to PDF for improved accessibility, and added onboarding materials and configuration files to streamline setup. Implemented an Arduino smart access control system using RFID, servo, and ultrasonic sensors, and built a PID-controlled motor actuator with encoder feedback for precise positioning. Work demonstrated proficiency in C++, Python, embedded systems, and motor control, establishing a foundation for reproducible course labs and hands-on experimentation without reported bug fixes.
January 2025 monthly summary for Automation_Course_2025A: Delivered a PID-controlled motor actuator with encoder feedback, enabling precise closed-loop positioning for course hardware. The implementation includes Arduino sketch, motor driver and encoder pin setup, tunable PID parameters, encoder-to-angle conversion, and PWM-based actuation to reach a target angle. Added a serial interface for setting the target angle and basic input validation to streamline experimentation. This work establishes a reliable, repeatable motor control foundation for hands-on labs and future course modules.
