Over the course of 12 weeks, I completed 4 individual projects to expand my skill set.
Programming an Arduino
Motivation: An Arduino board will be used to build a prototype of Zephyr.
​
Objective: Write a basic program to read pressure sensor.
​
Execution: September 5th - September 19th, 2019
​
Takeaways: Basic ability to code in Arduino. This includes commands, loops, if/else statements, etc.
CAD Software
Motivation: Using CAD to build a design file that can be read by COMSOL software to assess stress and strain.
​
Objective: Design a curved surface from desired specifications in CAD.
​
Execution: September 26th - October 10th, 2019
​
Takeaways: Ability to create curved surfaces in CAD. Created a usable file for suppliers of Product V.
Circuit Board Design
Motivation: Need to layout circuit board design in order to preserve tangible materials when building low fidelity prototypes.
Objective: Learn to use EagleCAD for basic board design.
Execution: October 17th - October 31st, 2019.
​
Takeaways: EagleCAD design for Zephyr pressure sensor circuit.
Designing User Interface
Motivation: Desire for better understanding of how to build user interface software in order to better communicate with dev teams.
​
Objective: Learn about software development of user interface.
​
Execution: November 7th - November 21st, 2019
​
Takeaways: Knowledge on Microsoft Azure.
The Product
Finished low fidelity prototype of a pressure sensor that records data to Arduino. This basic circuit will be integrated into Zephyr.
