Developed VHDL code for an FPGA Nexys A7 board to implement a drink-driving detection system. Integrated sensors such as PMOD AQS and PMOD MAXSONAR for alcohol concentration measurement, acceleration, and object detection. Utilized Xilinx Vivado for simulation and synthesis to evaluate crash probabilities.
Designed and implemented advanced control algorithms for the autonomous navigation of a TurtleBot 3. Utilized MATLAB and ROS2 to enable navigation in varied environments.
Engineered a network architecture to transmit a test image between Windows and macOS using TCP and UDP protocols. Demonstrated advanced networking skills through Python and Socket Programming.
In this project, Simulink was utilized to simulate discrete-time and continuous-time signals and systems, exploring the behavior of a sampled sine wave and the effects of aliasing at different frequencies. The results were analyzed and compared across various scenarios.
This project involved investigating the frequency response of finite-duration and infinite-duration sequences, as well as exploring the frequency response of discrete-time systems. MATLAB was used to plot the magnitude and phase spectra, and the stability of different filters was analyzed.
This project demonstrates hands-on experience with UART and I2C communication protocols between a microcontroller and peripheral devices. It covers the process of sending and receiving data, configuring UART, and understanding I2C complexity.
Designed and simulated an operational amplifier using LTspice to explore its characteristics such as gain, bandwidth, and frequency response. The project involved designing different configurations including inverting and non-inverting amplifiers, and analyzing their performance under various conditions.
