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.
