Revolution Mini-500 Helicopter Frame Analysis and Kit Production

What?

Lead a compact team for analyzing, fabricating, painting, and assembling a Revolution Mini-500 helicopter kit to represent UTA pride.

How?

Modeled a weldment frame in SolidWorks from assembled frame and performed structural analysis using FEA software to locate possible failure zones.

Implemented fabrication modifications, conducted painting, and expertly assembled the helicopter according to a meticulously planned workflow. Created Gantt Chart and rigorously followed for inspections and necessary corrections, while also ensuring the integration of fully functional controls to meet precise specifications and maintain the highest quality standards.

Results:

Presented an aesthetically stunning helicopter as a symbol of UTA Engineering pride, showcased prominently on campus. Additionally, conducted thorough assessments to identify failure zones and provided recommendations for enhancing the fabrication process.

How?

Designed and 3D-printed a component-specific ball-and-socket spherical joint with a stabilized frame, motor mounts, and a touchscreen platform.

Wrote and implemented a C based programming language code for a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller and includes libraries for hardware control and communication in I2C, PWM, timers, and UART.

The code defines constants, initializes I2C communication, PWM control for motors, and sets up interrupt handlers for timers. Two main functions are responsible for reading data from an I2C device touch screen and controlling motors based on Proportional-Integral-Derivative control logic. Another function reads data from UART for control inputs from an external Bluetooth module.

P.I.D. Ball Balance

What?

A stainless steel ball stabilization system using Bluetooth-based selective positioning and a P.I.D. controller, implemented on a Raspberry Pi Pico breadboarded platform.

Results:

A functional system that controls motors based on input data received through UART and touch screen readings, enabling precise positioning of a stainless steel ball and making it suitable for various positional control applications.

3-D Printed Racer

What?

A battery-operated mini vehicle racer, using 3D printing technology and powered by an airscrew, specifically for a class competition.

How?

Leveraging creativity and innovative thinking, the project centered on conceptualizing an original design, employing 3D printing for construction, addressing weight limitations, and integrating Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components. The process included vital stages of prototyping, testing, and iterative improvements to enhance the vehicle's performance.

Results:

The project's creative approach and meticulous development led to a successful mini vehicle racer that performed exceptionally well in the competition, showcasing its ingenuity and design prowess. Even today, the project continues to operate flawlessly, a testament to its enduring functionality and engineering excellence.
