# Zi Hon's Portfolio
Hey, I'm Yew Zi Hon. I am a diploma graduate for mechatronics and robotics engineering. I am currently studying Mechanical engineering in Nanyang Techonological University.
## About me
My interests are 3D printing, CNC machining and electric discharge machining. I have done some of my own projects and learnt many things.
## Projects
### Image plotter
This project Plots an image using a old repurposed 3D printer.


### Piano player
This project is a personal project that I worked on. It uses servo motors to press down on the piano keys. Motors are driven by a pwm driver and controlled by a micro controller.

### LED sign
The LED sign was a CCA project assigned to us. Neopixel LEDs were used to light up the sign and provide various lighting effects.
