Projects
This website was mainly built to showcase my projects; past and present. I've always got a couple projects on the go that aren't listed on the website. I hope you can see the hard work that has gone into these projects and perhaps you might want to attempt one yourself. Enjoy!
Bubble Display |
The bubble display utilizes air bubbles rising in fluid as pixels. Control of the bubble streams is used to produce text and simple images. The bubble display is an innovative, interactive artistic display medium for conveying many types of messages. This was our engineering fourth-year design project for electrical engineering at the University of Waterloo. |
Wifi Robot |
A remote control car that can be driven over the internet or with a laptop wirelessly from up to 500m away. It has a live-feed network camera so that it can be driven without line of sight and a horn so that you can honk at people. Check it out! |
Potato Gun |
What happens when you mix ABS Pipe, WD40 and a BBQ Igniter? You get a cannon that can hurl a potato 300yds at tremendous speed. Check it out! |
Potato Gun II |
After Potato Gun I became occasionally unreliable, I decided to build Spud Launcher II. With a little more scientific research and a new ignition system - Potato Gun II was born. This project is in the form of a How-To Build Guide. Check it out! |
Mame Based Arcade Machine |
I saw this done on the net - so I thought I'd take a crack at it. Take an arcade machine, jam a computer in it, hook up some controls - what do you get? An authentic arcade machine that can play literally thousands of games. Check it out! |
LCD Screen |
I built this project in 2001. It's a 4x20 backlit LCD screen. It can display system stats, temperatures or just about anything you can imagine. Check it out! |
PC Controlled RC Car |
Those cute little Mini RC Cars...I tore one apart , wired the remote, built an interface cable, wrote some programmable software and more. Check it out! Want to build you own? Check out the How-To Guide. |
LED Matrix
Display |
For my grade 12 computer science year-end project I decided to build an LED Matrix and write the software to control it. It can scroll text, play mini movies and could potentially be used as a game display (LED Pong!). Check it out! |
Sumo Bot (Grade 10 Project) |
Myself and Steve Melnik made this robot
in grade 10 for a class project. It was pretty neat. There was
a competition we competed in and we had fun making it. It also
has a semi-destructive spinning blade. Check it out! |
