Code interfaces with encoder, multiple analog buttons, motor system, LCD readout using SPI, and UART interface. Program includes complete user-accessible menu system for field calibration, speed adjustment and more. Bootloader included for future system updates- Provided detail-oriented documentation on all projects- Troubleshooting and testing of dozens of PCBs using oscilloscope and multimeter Show less

Hardware Contributions - First project: Developed verification process for technicians assembling 19 connection cable harnesses. Designed and assembled container, PCB, and hardware for cable harness to quickly and easily be verified by user utilizing an analog knob and feedback LEDs. Resulted in complete elimination of cable assembly failures - Research and development of first rigid-flex connector design at company, intended for use as model for future implementation… Show more Hardware Contributions - First project: Developed verification process for technicians assembling 19 connection cable harnesses.
