Teaming up with several engineering students at the University of Saskatchewan, I had the opportunity to lead the electrical side of this build. The project was inherited from a former student's Capstone Design and developed with the intention of providing an affordable IV pump to low income countries.
I found this design very fun to create! Cribbage is a great game to play with the whole family and there is a ton of creativity available when it comes to designing the boards.
​
Personally, I had never seen a three-dimensional board and that's why I decided to create a design similar to climbing a mountain -- first person to the peak wins!
​
There has been two revisions of this board so far and I hope to practice my CNC skills soon to turn this design to wood.

Designing a digital level is quite interesting. This circuit in particular utilizes op-amps, resistors, and diodes to create integrators, subtractors, dividers, natural logs, and anti-log components. The results were obtained using LT Spice circuit simulation software.
The circuit simulated above is within ±2% of the calculated value
Designed Simulation Circuit
Using PowerSim Electrical CAD I was able to design and test a DC charger using thyristors. This project involved researching the available alternatives, learning a new software, and running simulations to make sure the results were within the theoretical expectations. Overall, this was a very fun learning experience.

Working with a team of engineering students from the University of Saskatchewan, we were tasked with designing a prosthetic arm for a farmer. This arm had to be tough, breathable, and able to carry a minimum load of 41 lbs. The images seen above are the latest revision our design.
