DIY Pick and Place

The idea have been stuck in my head for some time now, to make my own pick and place machine that should be able to assemble PCB boards. I want to do this project for its complexity which means a great challenge, and I like that. A pick and place has many interesting systems...

KTH Segway

While I worked on my own segway I got a request from my University (KTH) to create a vehicle that the students should be able to test their control system theories on. So I created an improved version based on my own segway. My motto for this project was the same as for my own...

Modular Data Acquisition System

I made a system for signal data acquisition that had to be modular and also work standalone without a connected PC. It should be powered by battery or usb and communication should be done by Bluetooth or USB. The memory had to be absurdly large or else I had to implement a...

Soldering Station V2

I had an idea for a new Soldering Station , or rather wanted to ditched my old homemade soldering station when I got my hands on the new or “newer” type of soldering pen. Function list for the version 2 solder station. TFT LCD with touch functionality. 2 solder pen...

Irrigation System

By request for an irrigation system based on “Ebb and Flood irrigation technique” I made a system that should be able to handle a very large area and variation in complexity as well as irrigation types. The system is modular and is based on a main unit and multiple modules that are used for sensors and system control. My idea was to make the system stand alone so there should be no need for a computer running the garden/greenhouse, but I still wanted a good and easy way to configure and log the system. So with that in mind I built a system that is stand alone, but configured with a PC program trough radio/USB.

This is what I came up with:

KTH Segway

While I worked on my own segway I got a request from my University (KTH) to create a vehicle that the students should be able to test their control system theories on. So I created an improved version based on my own segway.

Modular Data Acquisition System

I made a system for signal data acquisition that had to be modular and also work standalone without a connected PC. It should be powered by battery or usb and communication should be done by Bluetooth or USB. The memory had to be absurdly large or else I had to implement a trigger and sample profile that should be able to handle various situations. The later was the better solution. I did the PCB HW and firmware plus demo PC software that held all the functions/classes needed for another guy that did the final PC software, mechanic parts and HW installation.
