Hamster Playground

A completed mechatronics project for Jenny with reactive lighting, activity sensing, and a motorized elevator.

Motorized Elevator

The completed mechanism lifts a suspended platform while Jenny rides it. I built and programmed the prototype and integrated the motor, platform, sensors, and wiring.

Ultrasonic sensor input triggers a sequence of blue LEDs. The project also included encoder-based wheel activity measurement and load-cell experiments using an HX711.
