  Just a sample of some of the machining work I’ve done that was available for me to take photos of.

• CubeX 3D Printer Conversion and Calibration

  » 01 Feb 2020

  3D Systems was an early 3D printer manufacturer who made large scale, multi-extruder printers. They tried to lock the filament market down with cartridge hardware to ensure you only used the genuine filament. That didn’t work out for them, but after I was given with an old, single extruder 3D Systems CubeX I thought it might be worth having a go at modernising it.

• Multirotor Flight Controller Implemented on an FPGA

  » 01 Nov 2019

  This project was undertaken primarily to ease the learning curve for new RMIT students implementing control systems on new UAV configurations. Although FPGAs bring many performance and flexibility benefits for research applications. Learning FPGA development along with the obstructive toolchain by myself was very challenging.

• URC Onboard Computer Architecture

  » 30 Aug 2019

  The University Rover Challenge takes place once a year, at the Mars Desert Research Station in America. It requires teams to construct autonomous exploration robots thats compete in a number of tests requiring object manipulation, life detection, and autonomous traversal. For RMIT’s first entry into the URC we needed a software system that could be implemented quickly, but wouldn’t hamper later development with architecture redesigns.
