Hi

I'm a 24 year old undergraduate aerospace avionics engineer currently studying at QUT in Brisbane, Australia. I have a private pilot licence and have some experience in IT.

I enjoy riding my motorcycle, listening to music and working on electronic projects especially using the Arduino platform.

Résumé

I have worked in several jobs, from pizza delivery and bar work to IT administration. I am a hard worker and believe that to get somewhere in your work, you must work hard at it. Details of my most recent work are in the PDF available to the right.

"Word Time" Clock

[show/hide description & more pics]

The "Word Time" clock gives a plain english readout of the current time. It utilises a real-time-clock chip to keep time which is interpreted by the arduino and appropriate outputs are turned on and off using shift registers.

I have recently finished the clock in it's current form. I bought a shaddow box and added a barebones arduino circuit to fit inside it.

Pics of Inside:

  • Word Clock finished.

    The LEDs and the light 'gates'.

    The dodgy soldering.

  • Arduino and RTC chip unmounted

Table Tennis Score Board

[show/hide description]

This is a score board for keeping track of the score and who's serve it is when playing table tennis. A button mounted under each end of the table is pressed by the point scorer, incrementing the score and changing the server if necessary.

I am yet to fit a backing to the display.
