# 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. ![img](/assets/plotter2/plotter.jpg) ![img](/assets/plotter2/plot.jpg) ### 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. ![img](/assets/piano/piano.jpg) **A close up of the mechanism** ![img](/assets/piano/close.jpg) **The microcontroller controlling the piano** ![img](/assets/piano/micro.jpg) <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NR8rGSLQnuk"> </iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1FPYqu8Atf8"> </iframe> [View the project](https://www.printables.com/model/493973-melodymaster-3000-techno-piano) --- ### Plastic and wax machining To experiment with recycling old PLA plactic, a material commonly used for 3d printing. ![img](/assets/pla/benchy.jpg) ![img](/assets/pla/benchcnc.jpg) ![img](/assets/pla/bear.jpg) --- ### Stepper motor music Turns the annoying stepper motor noise into music. ![img](/assets/stepper/stepper.webp) <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JKKd53B_RKY"> </iframe> [View the project](https://www.printables.com/model/493967-the-nema-ensemble) --- ### Final Year Project My team team and i designed and prototyped an autonomous guided vehicle. **CAD design of the vehicle** ![img](/assets/fyp/cad.JPG) **CNC milling** ![img](/assets/fyp/cam.jpg) ![img](/assets/fyp/machining.jpg) **wiring** ![img](/assets/fyp/odrive.jpg) ![img](/assets/fyp/nano.jpg) ![img](/assets/fyp/topwiring.jpg) **Mechanical** ![img](/assets/fyp/steering.jpg) ![img](/assets/fyp/motor.jpg) ![img](/assets/fyp/side.jpg) **Vehicle manual control test** <video autoplay muted loop><source src="/assets/fyp/moving.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video> --- ### Melodica player This is the capstone project for a module that I have taken: Further Design and Fabrication. Inspired by the piano player. **Front** ![img](/assets/1001/front.jpg) **Menu navigation** ![img](/assets/1001/menu.jpg) **PCB design** ![img](/assets/1001/pcb.jpg) **Microcontroller programming** ![img](/assets/1001/programming.jpg) **Integration** ![img](/assets/1001/wiring.jpg) ![img](/assets/1001/wiring2.jpg) [View the project](https://yewzihon.github.io/EP1001/finalPro.html) --- ### 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. **led sign** <video autoplay muted loop width="100%" height="auto"><source src="/assets/ledSign/speye.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video> ![img](/assets/ledSign/y.jpg) ![img](/assets/ledSign/lit.jpg) ![img](/assets/ledSign/reflective.jpg) ![img](/assets/ledSign/unlit.jpg) --- ### Electric discharge machining Exploring electric discharge machining (EDM) is a personal project. I have experimented with a drill/sinker EDM. **EDM drilling head** ![img](/assets/edm/drillHead.jpg) **Hole being brilled with a brass electrode** ![img](/assets/edm/drilledHole.jpg) **EDM drilling in progress** <video autoplay muted loop width="100%" height="auto"><source src="/assets/edm/drilling.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video> **End result** ![img](/assets/edm/result.jpg) --- ### Pen plotter **Drawing a rabbit** ![img](/assets/plotter/rabbit.jpg) <video autoplay muted loop width="100%" height="auto"><source src="/assets/plotter/rabbit.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video> --- ### CNC router **Milled PCBs** ![img](/assets/cnc/cnc.jpg) **Machining medium density fiberboard** <video autoplay muted loop width="100%" height="auto"><source src="/assets/cnc/cnc.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video>
