PROFILE
Tzach27
Tzach Ben worked on Automation_Course_2025A, delivering five features over three months that enhanced both hardware integration and learner experience. He developed a Python-based number base converter with a user interface, modernized project documentation to PDF for consistency, and added onboarding materials and configuration files to streamline setup. On the embedded side, he implemented an Arduino-based smart access control system using RFID, servo, and ultrasonic sensors, and built a PID-controlled motor actuator with encoder feedback for precise positioning. His work demonstrated depth in C++, Python, embedded systems, and hardware-software integration, providing reproducible, maintainable solutions for hands-on course modules.

Jan 1, 2025January 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.
