Master's of Science Degree, Computer Engineering, Expected Grautation: June 2018
My name is Wuyuan Chen and I am a first year graduate student studying Computer Engineering. I am interested in PCB design, firmware development and android development. In the summer of 2017, I worked as a intern at Pure Engineering LLC, a start up in Santa Barbara. Through this internship, I designed a soil moisture sensor PCB using FDC2214 and developed firmware on nRF52 micro-controller so the soil moisture sensor can communicate using BLE. From this experience, I have gained more exposure to IoT devices and BLE and hope to learn more about these fields as a graduate student.
My plan in grad school is to learn more about embedded systems by focusing more in robotics and control systems. In addition, I want to work in one of ucsc's robotics research labs. I am currently taking Mechatronics and hopefully I will be able to join Gabe's lab at the end this quarter.
Soil Moisture Sensor:
Design a soil moisture sensor device using the FDC2214 chip and co-planer metal plates. This chip is connected to a PureModule which contains a nRF52 micro-controller. The micro controller will use Bluetooth Low Energy to send packets to a connected smartphone for user to examing soil moisture data. For more information click here.
Track Wire & Beacon Detector:
Designed a 6th order Chebyshev high pass and low pass filter and cascaded them together to form a band pass filter. This filter is used to reject anything equal or below 1.5kHz, 2.5kHz, and receive a 2kHz signal. Our team was successfully built the circuit to also be able to reject and receive these signals from 7 feet away. For more information click here.
