Queen's Knights Robotics — Electrical
Supercapacitors, breakouts, and the README that came with them.
This is my work on the electrical subteam of Queen’s Knights Robotics, Queen’s competition robotics team.
The main piece is a supercapacitor charge/discharge control loop on an STM32L432KC Nucleo board. I drafted the pseudocode for it, mapping the HAL ADC reads and GPIO signaling to each state, working from starter code by the team lead.
Alongside the firmware, I designed a connector breakout PCB module in KiCad and built the schematic diagrams, validating connector pinouts against the component datasheets so the harnesses get soldered right the first time.
I also authored the firmware repository’s README, including a Git and GitHub onboarding guide for new subteam members. The repo did not have one before.
