Description: Developed a GUI for the Instrument Cluster Display of vehicle dashboard using LVGL, displaying speed, battery status, indicators, and door lock/unlock system, motor driver on/off status.

• Interfaced the GUI with the car system and installed a secondary touch display (MDI) with raspberry pi supporting Android Auto.
  
• Installed speed sensor with Arduino to calculate real-time speed based on RPMs and transmit speed data to the digital display.
  
• Contributed to the development of a motor driver/controller for the EV BLDC motor.

• Contributed to Installation of regenerative braking to enhance the vehicle's efficiency.
  

Achievements: Successfully integrated multiple vehicle system indicators into a cohesive GUI.
Enhanced the user interface for better driver interaction and feedback.
Worked collaboratively in a university-funded project, contributing to innovative solutions in EV technology.

worked on a project related to Power Electronics & Microcontroller.
