Projects

-My main ongoing project is on my Truck. I picked her up December 23rd 2006 and will continue to mod her as the money and ideas come in. Check out the Cardomain Page here. Thanks to everyone at ToyotaNation.com for there help and ideas.

-Team Leader working on an Autonomous Robot for the IEEE SoutheastCon 2007 Competition. I have video posted on youtube.com of the internal competition at our school. The robot worked perfectly, even though i kept double checking the wires at the beginning. The two girls and two guys to the right of me is the team we were competing against. Check out the vid here.

-Finished the Hamster powered Generator. This is a project I built for Power 1. When spinning the Generator generates about 2Vpp and about 100mA. Which isn't alot but is enough to power some LED's. The main problem is that the gap between the magnets and coils are too big. I believe if i make the gap smaller this generator will generate more power. The coils are wrapped 50 times in a Lap configuration. It took me several nights to wrap the magnetic wire but the entire generator is wrapped with a continuous wire. The magnets are Rare Earth Magnets.

-Touch Sensor Circuit for the Truck. This sensor uses the QT-150 chip and has a 5 channel capability. I only used for channels. I made a PCB board and installed everything in the truck already. The main mistake is on the PCB board and i made the relay sockets backwards, so the relays are now mounted on the back of the board. Here are some photos.
