Projects
These projects showcase some of the work I have done in teams and as an individual. They have tested my skills and inspired me to develop many new ones.
Field Oriented Motor Control + eBike
-
The final chapter in the BLDC motor saga.
This motor controller employs a Space Vector Modulation scheme using encoder feedback and phase current sensors.
BLDC Driver + Encoder Reader
-
A BLDC motor driver with a decoder for a quadrature rotary encoder.
The motor and encoder can be combined to accurately measure the motor position.
Incremental Encoder Reader
-
A decoder for reading and displaying the output of a quadrature rotary encoder.
Quadcopter Flight Controller
-
ARM Cortex M4-based flight controller for a custom racing drone.
BLDC Motor Driver (Capstone)
-
