Projects
FitByte - an activity tracking wearable watch, 01/01/23, 02/01/23, A prototype of a wearable fitness device designed to vibrate when it detects stagnation. This device is low-cost and can help keep you on the move. Activity trackers are great at helping you set goals and track improvement but the only feature that I personally need is a reminder to be more active using AtTiny85 microcontroller and many other components. Wall drawing robot, 05/01/22, 06/01/22, A wall drawing robot is an embedded system that works based on the principle of Computer Numerical Control. XY Plotter basically works with two stepper motors and a servo motor, wherein the robot plots the input given from the computer on the drawing board using ATMEGA328p.
Publications
Real-Time Asset Tracking with IoT Core API and LORA Technology using Multiple Sensors, 06/01/25, IEEE conference, This project aims to create a robust real-time asset tracking system leveraging IoT and LoRa technology. By harnessing a suite of sensors-GPS for precise location tracking, accelerometers to detect speed and movement changes, gyroscopes for orientation and rotation data, alongside temperature and humidity sensors for environmental monitoring-the system collects comprehensive data from assets. This information is processed through microcontrollers and transmitted via LoRa transmitters for efficient long-range communication. Upon reception, the LoRa receiver forwards this data to another microcontroller, connecting to both a display and an IoT platform. This setup allows for immediate visualization of asset information, empowering users to monitor and manage assets effectively. The system's multifaceted sensor array and seamless communication architecture promise enhanced asset security, streamlined logistics, and the ability to respond proactively to environmental variations, ultimately optimizing asset management and ensuring the integrity of sensitive goods or environments.
