I've always been curious about how things function, and as a child, I used to disassemble all of my toys to discover what was inside and sometimes remove the tiny motors to construct tiny fans. After learning how to code and use an Arduino, I was able to control every part of my vision and put it into effect. It was then simple for me to design, prototype, and refine my own ideas. As a result, I've amassed an abundance of information about the hardware, software, electrical and mechanical aspects of technological devices over the years. All of the items I create are conceptualized, assembled, and programmed entirely by me. You may see a few of the most current concepts that I implemented below.
This might be one of my favorite projects i have worked on. using my spare cra key i have createde a device that can press the buttons to remote start the car. Using an Arduino nano as a microcontroller and SIM800l for GSM connection by which i only have to send as specific text message and the text is then verified in the microcontroller to then take an action based on the text. I can lock the car and start the car from anywhere in the world with just a text message. I am also using a Step-Down voltage converter for the arduino and the SIM800L module to use 4.5v from the 9V battery. For my next iteration in will get rid of the servos and directly tap into the kehy's circuit and use a SSR to act as buttons.
This is a safe that i upgraded with latch-lock and an Arduino NANO as the brain. There are two ways to unlock the safe; 1. Via a button which takes a short press as a Dot and a long press as a Dash and the complete phrase would be a Morse code; 2. Via an NFC tag for which there is a NFR/RFID reader. The safe is battery powered which lasts about 3 months and is rechargable from the outside.
With the ESP8266 D1 mini i have made a door lock that can be locked or unlocked from anywhere
in the world with internet connection. It has a button inside the room that when pressed locks or unlocks
the door, it can also be locked or unlocked from the outside by the keypad that's outside the room, which
accepts a passowrd to unlock the door and a separate code to lock it. And obviously it can be toggled by the
apple device's built in Apple HomeKit.
As you can se there are 4 versions so far. With each iteration i have
simplified the design and UX as well as the mechanism.
With the colaboration with my UMKC Robotics group friends we made this RC car that's being controlled by two arduinos, one for the receiver and the other for the trasmitter, with the help of HC-05 Bluetooth modules.
Well...
I workout quite a bit and so i have to track my calories and proteins each day. At the moment i keep a note of it on my phone's notes app and so i decided to work on an iPhone app that does that and much more, it will only take the weight of the individual items i eat and will automatically calculate the amount protein and calories i am getting from it. It will also keep track of which days i've went to the gym and which days i wemnt for a run. It will also be able to analyze the trend advise me any changes based on my past calorie & protein intake and compare it to my weight record.
