PCB Electronics
Expert (Master) Projects
In the “Expert (Master) Electronics Projects” category, you’ll take on highly complex, cutting-edge projects that push the boundaries of your electronics, programming, and system design knowledge. These projects often involve designing custom PCBs, developing embedded systems with advanced firmware, and integrating multiple technologies into cohesive, fully functional systems. You’ll work with specialized components, advanced communication protocols, and real-time processing, often creating sophisticated devices for professional or industrial applications.
Examples of expert projects include designing a fully autonomous robot with advanced navigation and AI algorithms, building a custom wearable device with sensors for health monitoring, or developing a complex IoT system with cloud integration, real-time data analytics, and remote control features. You may also explore topics like machine learning integration into embedded systems, advanced power management for energy-efficient circuits, and high-frequency signal processing.
At this level, you’ll be required to troubleshoot and optimize your designs for real-world applications, pushing the limits of what’s possible in both hardware and software. These projects not only demonstrate mastery in electronics but also in systems integration, problem-solving, and innovation.

Build an 8-Bit Computer From Scratch
In this blog, I take Ben Eater’s “Build an 8-Bit Computer From Scratch” project to the next level by designing custom schematics for each component, including the clock module, registers, and ALU. After creating the designs, I manufactured a custom PCB to bring the project to life. Join me as I walk through the process of designing the schematics, creating the PCB, and assembling my own 8-bit computer from the ground up. It’s a hands-on journey that combines digital electronics, computer architecture, and PCB design, and it’s perfect for anyone looking to dive deeper into the world of electronics.
IoT (Internet of Things) Systems
This project involves creating a network of connected devices that communicate over the internet to collect, exchange, and analyze data. You might design a smart home system with sensors, cloud integration, and mobile app control, or a remote monitoring system that tracks environmental conditions, all powered by microcontrollers, Wi-Fi, or cellular networks to enable real-time data access and control.
Embedded Systems with Custom Firmware
In this project, you’ll develop embedded systems tailored for specific applications, writing custom firmware that allows microcontrollers or microprocessors to perform real-time tasks. These systems can be used in various industries, from consumer electronics to industrial automation, and require deep knowledge of hardware interfacing, low-level programming, and system optimization.
Designing and Building a Custom Circuit or Wearable Tech from the Ground Up
This project challenges you to design a fully functional custom circuit or wearable technology device. From designing the schematic and PCB layout to assembling components and writing firmware, you’ll build a unique device that could include sensors, displays, and wireless communication, such as a health monitor, fitness tracker, or smart clothing, providing hands-on experience with every step of product development.
Fully Functional Robot with Advanced Navigation and Sensor Systems:
In this project, you’ll create a sophisticated robot that can navigate its environment autonomously. By integrating advanced sensors like LiDAR, ultrasonic, and cameras, along with algorithms for path planning and obstacle avoidance, you’ll design a robot that can explore, map, and interact with its surroundings, all while utilizing motor controllers and real-time decision-making processes.
