Portable Control Laboratory

I worked to create an Ardiuno Shield that could be used as by students for homework assignments and projects for the intro-level controls course taught in Carnegie Mellon's Mechanical Engineering Department.

​

I developed my circuit designs using Autodesk EAGLE.

In order to save the money and test my circuit designs more quickly, I utilized the PCB milling machine in my university's makerspace to build and assemble prototype PCBs before finalizing my design and sending it off to a PCB manufacturer to be fabricated.
