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.

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...

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.

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.
