Custom Load-Cell Brake Pedal for Sim Racing I set out to design and prototype a realistic, force-based brake pedal for my sim racing setup, built around a load cell and 3D-printed structure, with geometry inspired by high-end commercial pedals. Summary This project started as an attempt to replace the basic position-sensing pedals from a Logitech

Custom ESP32 Digital Dash for Motorbike A custom digital instrument cluster for a modified motorbike, built around an ESP32-based display module with a fully programmable user interface. Summary I set out to replace a bulky analogue motorbike dash with a compact, information-dense digital display. Using a LilyGo ESP32 module with an integrated screen, I built

DIY Direct-Drive Simulator Wheelbase A from-scratch, high-torque direct-drive steering wheelbase for drifting simulation, built around a repurposed BLDC hub motor, open-source motor control hardware, and several generations of custom encoder and mounting solutions. Summary I set out to replace an aging gear-driven Logitech wheel with a home-built direct-drive system that could deliver much higher fidelity

Automotive HVAC Controller Summary This long-running personal project tracks the evolution of a complete redesign of the HVAC control system in a 1991 Nissan Silvia S13. What began as “get the air-con working again” turned into a multi-year exploration of: Embedded control (Arduino → ESP32 planned) Actuator selection and feedback (DC motors vs servos) EMI-aware
