Projects

Project Work at Confederation College, Design a hardware prototype on a breadboard and software using C++. I worked on a solution for the design of an embedded system that focuses on the control of a variable-speed motor controller using the ARM Cortex-M4F family-based microcontroller TM4C123GH6PM. The primary control of the motor is given to push buttons, and another control is given via serial communication using RS232. I used PID (proportional integral derivative) control for feedback and control of the motor. In addition, the project includes an LCD display to get the RPM of the motor, real-time clock time, and the project name on screen.
