DIGITAL POWER METER / EMBEDDED SYSTEMS / INSTRUMENTATION
Completed university projectDigital Power Meter
Measuring power in real time.
Embedded real-power measurement, with live readings sent to a Python dashboard.
MY CONTRIBUTION
Lead embedded firmware developer
HIGHLIGHT
Grade 7 · High Distinction
TOOLS & METHODS
Embedded C · ATmega328P · Interrupts · UART · Python
01 / THE PROBLEM
The problem.
A useful power meter needs accurate measurement and reliable communication at the same time. Capturing signals and updating a dashboard cannot get in each other’s way.
02 / MY CONTRIBUTION
What I worked on.
- 01
Authored the team’s embedded C firmware on the ATmega328P.
- 02
Implemented the real-power measurement and interrupt-driven UART communication.
- 03
Connected the firmware to a Python dashboard so measurements could be inspected in real time.
03 / PROGRESS & RESULTS
Where it stands.
We received a Grade 7, or High Distinction, for ENGG2800 in 2026. I wrote the embedded firmware and connected the meter to the Python dashboard.
