Gaming chair & Handbbrake
Logitech G920 wheel pedals and shifter with a custom seat, frame and Handbrake
for the seat and the frame its pretty much straight forward ill talk here about the
Handbreake
I made.
Mechanical part:
The Handbbrake itself is a bent cane attached to a spring to have the
feedback
force.
Electronic part:
A click will occure if the cane touches the metal pice then a signal will
be
sent to the motherboard of the wheel (Which I opened and soldered the cables into the
motherboard).
Software part:
As I soldered the cables into a specefic button of the wheel no programming was required all I
had to do is to assign to this click the Handbrake function in the settings of the game.
Note: So basically I sacrificed a rarely used button in a way that I'll
get the same output either I clicked on that button or I used my custom Handbrake.
Job scripts
Idea:
In my previous IT customer service role, I encountered a significant amount of repetitive tasks. To address this issue, I developed a script that streamlined and simplified these tasks.
Email script:
I developed a Python program that generates and sends formatted emails using various libraries and tools:
I used DOCX to interact with Microsoft Word templates for creating content.
Win32com.client was employed to generate and send Outlook emails programmatically.
To navigate and access Windows files, I utilized the pathlib library.
Google sheet script:
We used to log calls on a Google Sheet and manually input everything. To streamline this process, I developed some scripts to automate the input of:
Date and time: As soon as you begin typing, a cell will be automatically populated with the current date and time.
Duration of the Call: A new cell will be automatically populated with the call duration when you finish the call and select the call type (e.g., Fixed, Warranty, etc.).
Tracking Info: The delivery status is updated in real-time, automatically.
Script: I utilized Package Tracker and customized the outputs to align with my requirements.
Canada Welcomes
Hackathons: McGill-Hacks, Canada
Welcomes
Idea: Helping newcomers choosing a Canadian city based on some inputs such as: size of the
city
, temperature , type of job...
Data: We gathered Data mainly from Numbeo and Statistics
Canada.
Algorithm:Basically we manually categorized cities under (Low, Meduim, High) for each
parameter
(Population, Csot of living...), and at the end the programm will give the best match
(calculate
a score) and gives you the best match.
Challanges: We made the Java code and the front end separtely but
failed too establish a connection betwen the two, this app could work just fine with frontEnd
but no one in our team know how to JavaScript :), we were also hopping to get real
time
Data instead of hard coding it but we canceled as the Numbeo API wasn't free.

Better Delivery
Hackathons: uOttawaHacks
Idea: The project is supposed to help the efficenty of deliveries.
A software will compute the best
route depending on traffic and addresses in real time.
A robotic arm (inside the truck) will sort packages in a way
that
the driver will just pick from the heap (instead of going inside and manually looking for
items).
My contrubution:
3D modeling: I helped desing the 3D parts.
Mouvement: Connecting the 3D models with arduino and servo
motors.
Challanges:
Mechanical: faield to desing a that moves the arm on the
X-axis so we edup with:
Up/Down + Arm Open/Closed.
Software: failure to connect the Arduino app with Arduio:
Obviously we wern't
expewcting a full project with real time traffic Data but we were hoping to send some
hardCoded
data from the app to Arduino.

Automatic plant watering
Robotic contest: FABLAB "Printemps des Sciences" 2017
Intro: A basic Input/Output project: When the soil is dry , a signal is sent to the Arduino
to
turn on the Water pump -> when the water will reach the soil the Moisture sensor will send a
signal to stop the pump.
My contrubution:
I made the entire project except the frame.
Water pump: I made the pump with a syringe and a cartoy
DC-motor with the plunger on
its rotor(acting as impeller.)
Cleaning robot
Robotic contest: FABLAB "Printemps des Sciences"
Intro: Vaccuming + Water cleaning Robot controlled remotly via bluethoot and an android app.
My contrubution:
Water pump: I made the pump with a syringe and a cartoy
DC-motor with the plunger on
its rotor(acting as impeller).
Android app: I unfortuanlly lost the .apk but it was a
simple
app made with MITappInventor to control: Speed,
Direction, Water
pump and Vaccum fan.
