I'm Vishwas. I work as a Senior Research and Development Engineer at Tejas Networks, a leading Network equipment manufacturer here in India. My work revolves around the design and development of complex FPGA based high-speed boards for the network equipment to cater to the needs of 5G. Previously I worked as a Research Assistant at Robert Bosch Centre for Cyber-Physical Systems, one of the largest Cyber-Physical Sytems in the world where I worked on hardware design and development for robotics and drones i.e especially on autonomous drone charging pads, at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. I'm keen on research and development and I love electronics and building some cool stuff out of it. I write about my adventures in electronics on hackster.io and many other platforms. I have participated in many competitions both online and offline about hardware hacking and won many awards. My interests are embedded systems, circuit design, and product design. To know more about me please visit my portfolio website http://vishwasnavada.github.io One more added advantage is I have already worked on the design and development of smart home devices with KEMET Pyroelectric motion sensors and written a detailed article on the https://hackster.io/vishwasnavada
Also, I have written articles and participated in design challenges in the element14 community and won in some too. Here's my profile: vishwasn
Now coming to what I'm planning to experiment with,
This will be a modular sensor solution containing two parts, a Heater Sensor Unit [HSU] and a Power Control Unit [PCU].
First, the sensor unit inside a package will sense the rise in temperature and will change its state, this will be taken as input by the microcontroller and will be sent to the PCU, where it will automatically cut off the
connection to the heater and will send an alert to the user's mobile via an email or a message. Since almost everyone will be stuck on their phones it will be easy to remind them on their smartphone than anything else.
I'll be testing multiple thermal sensors and quantifying the response and coherence of the sensors. [I mean to see you can expect some data and graphs]. I may write more blogs as and when I test and experiment, let's see how it goes. I hope to learn something new and build something new.
Thanks a lot for your time.
