Jenga Earthquake Table
NU Toys: Club Project (2017)
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Construct a randomly vibrating base table for a game to Jenga to increase the game's difficulty.
CONSTRAINTS:
Budget limited to $50. Due to fall e-board responsibilities I set myself a deadline to finish this project before 09/2017, leaving about one month to complete the first prototype.

Pressure Sensing Matrix
Flex Innovation Labs: Independent R&D Project
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Construct a textile out of force sensitive resistive fabric and program it to visualize location and magnitude of point loads applied.
Pressure Sensing Matrix: Final Prototype
CONSTRUCTION, PROGRAMMING, AND TROUBLESHOOTING:
- Rows and columns sewn on top and bottom of fabric, respectively, with conductive thread. Design by Kobakant.
- Wrote and de-bugged Arduino code to measure voltage and corresponding pressure at each thread intersection
- Wrote Processing code to visualize the pressure matrix, shown above
SKILLS GAINED:
- Construction of conductive textiles
- Electrical prototyping
- Arduino coding of matrices
- Processing coding for visualizing data
