Projects with wiring and electrical components
01 - COMPLETED
Periodic Table Display Case
Mar. 2021 - I originally built this in my wood shop class during 10th grade to store the element samples I collect. Over the summer, I took a few hundred LEDs, an Arduino, and a PSU and made a custom-animated display behind the elements. I have further plans to add interactive features, such as information about each element, games, and music reactivity.

02 - COMPLETED
Rocket Thrust Stand
Dec. 2020 - Faced with varying performance from rocket motors I made, I needed a way to quantify their thrust and impulse to analyze the effects of my manufacturing processes on their efficiency. Using a load cell, I designed and programmed a thrust stand to record data at 20Hz and integrate it to find overall rocket impulse. Horizontal designs in the future may provide better results, as propellant mass loss will no longer be relevant.

03 - IN PROGRESS
Launch Sequence Buttons
Jan. 2021 - Intended to work with the thrust stand, this coded sequence of buttons would act as a long-distance trigger for rocket launches or tests, improving safety while also looking pretty cool.
