Electronics, Software and Machine Vision Engineer

I have a BSc in electrical engineering, am a certified Labview developer and have 20 years experience developing custom systems for industrial environments, mainly focused on visual and thermal imaging but also including motion control. I have also developed hardware and software for industrial embedded systems based on ATMEGA, Atmel ARM, PIC, Arduino and Paticle IoT platforms. My design philosophy is firmly based on Murphy's Law, to create systems that anticipate possible conditions and anomalies and are flexible enough to handle these and possible future requirements. If something can go wrong it will. My experience includes - Design and implementation of visual and thermal based imaging applications - Machine vision system design (optics, lighting, hardware and software) - Extensive development using LabVIEW, LabVIEW Realtime, IMAQ Vision and National Instruments hardware. NI Certified LabVIEW Developer - Electronic circuit design (incl. PCB layout) of embedded systems using Atmel, PIC, Arduino. - C coding for microcontrollers, Arduino and pre-Arduino - Congex vision systems (spreadsheet and easybuilder) - Particle Photon IoT

The system is Arduino based using the Atmel ATSAMD21G18A-AU processor. It consists of a number of Sensors Boards which can use either the Adafruit BME280 or BME680 sensor boards to measure air quality. A Master PCB collects the data via modbus from multiple sensor boards and makes it available to a PC via USB. The system uses ethernet cables for communication and to power the slave boards from the master.

This is a speicalized GPS tracking device which uses SigFox for communication. The device stays in a deep sleep mode until it experiences over 60g of acceleration at which point it then wakes up a GPS and transmits it's location via SigFox radio. The units are required to function for 7 years without changing batteries.

This system is a timing system used for the competitive discipline of canopy pilloting (https://www.fai.org/page/isc-canopy-piloting). It is unusual in that a timing precision of 1ms is required for this sport. The system consist of up to 8 optical gates and central processor. The gates consist of a laser projector and a custom PIN diode based optical receiver and each gate has a siren which gives audible feedback to the contestant when the beam is broken. The processor is a custom PCB based using an Atmel ATmega128 and performs the following functions: 1) Provides power to the recievers, either from the built in battery or mains power supply. 2) Monitors the level of the signal indicating the laser brightness at the reciever 3) Performs the millisecond timing function when gates are broken in the correct sequence 4) Provides data via USB to a PC including gate continuous light levels, timing results and fault signals , eg, if the gate lasers become misaligned.

The price of tobacco leaves is dependent on a complex grading system which includes factors such as leaf type, colour, amount of damage and disease (spotting). Grading involves measuring the colour, shape, amount of damage, vein density and spotting. The measurement must be independant of the orientation of the leaf. The system backlights the leaves and uses complex image processing algorithms to measure these features using Labview and IMAQ Vision. A machine learning type algorithm is implemented to allow continuous improvement of the grading accuracy.
