3D Printer Project
Here is a fully custom 3D printer I built from scratch using available equipment and materials . The project brings together a range of mechanical and electrical parts, outlined in the bill of materials below. With these materials, along with some scrap wood and basic bench tools, the first iteration was created. Once operational, new parts were printed to replace the original wooden parts, leading to a drastic increase in print quality.
Robot Car Project
A remote-controlled two-wheeled robotic vehicle powered by two NodeMCU ESP8266 Development Boards, one serving as the controller and the other as the vehicle's onboard computer. The controller establishes a WiFi Access Point, to which the vehicle connects as a client. When the controller receives HTTP GET requests from the vehicle, it transmits two analog values generated from the positions of the joystick levers. The vehicle, in turn, translates these values into speed commands for its left and right wheel motors, which are then sent to an L298N motor driver to control power delivery to the motors. Source code can be found on my GitHub profile.
