Microcontroller

Electronics have always been a fascinating to me. And what is the perfect lovechild of software development and electronics? You guessed it: Microcontrollers. Back in high school, I learned to write code in Bascom and to program Atmega’s with a parallel programmer. Nowadays I prefer the simplicity and extensibility of the Arduino ecosystem.

Projects

  • Custom Development PCB
    Since I wrote the article about the Bahnhofssteuerung 2000, development has slowed down but never completely stopped. One aspect that in my opinion should always improve alongside a project are the tools that you use for development. Not only for better productivity, but also to… Read more: Custom Development PCB

    About a year ago, my dad asked me if I knew a way to control a bunch of tiny LEDs to light up his model railway buildings. At the time, I didn’t have an immediate solution, but I was up for the challenge. He had… Read more: Bahnhofs Steuerung 2000
  • Electronic Guitar
    The idea for this project came from my younger sibling. When he was visiting me in Berlin during the summer of 2022, he talked about how it would be cool to have a guitar style midi input device with clear tactile feedback. He already tried… Read more: Electronic Guitar
  • DOT BOT 2.0
    This is not just a small update. Almost every part of the project got redesigned and many technologies changed. This is such a major leap forward that for me it feels like a new project altogether. After the update, the combined error was reduced from… Read more: DOT BOT 2.0
  • Dot Bot
    Story: Usually, the most interesting ideas form while brainstorming over a few beers. This is also true for the dot bot project. Although the original concept used to be the construction of a robot which uses spray cans to paint murals and was supposed to… Read more: Dot Bot
  • Kalimba Playing Robot
    2020 was quite the boring year. To ease things up a little, I bought myself a Kalimba from that online marketplace we all overused by a lot. Learning to play a new instrument is always a lot of fun, but as with every new hobby,… Read more: Kalimba Playing Robot
  • M&M’s sorting machine
    This is one of my older projects. I decided to show it in my references since it was the first complex IT project that I have worked on and because it influenced my career quite a lot. It was my final year high school project… Read more: M&M’s sorting machine
