Flying Tiger Phase I (Senior Project)
Worked with a team of five to develop software to
operate a six-degrees-of-freedom flight simulator for
Moog Inc. The software used an open-source flight
simulator, FlightGear, to generate a 3D environment and
instrument console, and received input from a dSPACE
flight dynamics model via an ARINC-429 bus. The project
required cooperation with three other teams of mechanical
and electrical engineers.
Wrote and maintain a watchface for Android Wear that displays upcoming calendar events
as circular sectors. The watchface has not yet been published to the Play Store, but
is available on GitHub.
Wi-Fi-Controlled RC Car
Built a RC car which is power by an Arduino and uses an
iPod Touch to communicate with a remote computer via
Wi-Fi. The car can be driven by an operator using a
Java program on the remote computer.
