8-Kanal Sensor für den Multiplex Sensor Bus (MSB)
KiCAD (schematic and PCB), C on ATMEL microcontroller
Platinenentwurf mit KiCAD, Bau eines Prototypen. Softwareentwurf und Implementierung in C für ATmega168. Messung von bis zu 8 Spannungen, Strömen oder Temperaturen (frei kombinierbar), virtuelle Sensoren für Leistung und verbleibende Flugzeit, Benutzerführung per Kommandozeile, Offset- und Gain-Kalibrierung zur Verbesserung der Messgenauigkeit. -
Embedded Webserver Solution and PC Control Software
EAGLE (schematic and PCB), C on ATMEL microcontroller
Modified an embedded webserver based on an ATMEL ATmega128 MCU to provide machine and human readable sensor output on port 8080 respectively port 80 via HTTP. Designed the schematic and PCB with EAGLE and build two prototypes. Wrote a simple PC control software in Visual C++ .NET. -
Live visualization of quadrocopter telemetry with gnuplot
gnuplot, BASH-scripting
Shows a 3D view of the aircraft's orientation, a 3-plane view (xz, xy, yz), the calculated angles, as well as the raw vector data recieved via the COM port with minicom. It is possible to playback a recorded vector stream. Works as a mixture of gnuplot and BASH scripts. -
Linux BASH-scripting
process-oriented thinking, Linux environment
To automate recurring tasks, e.g.:- Update subdomain with new IP (INWX.de)
- Download all images from a Flickr album
- Gather all important system information, incl. headers for encrypted disks, for bck purposes
- Download all images from a Sony Ericsson T610 cellphone via Bluetooth
