Engineering Capstone Project

Here is our website I built for my team - it goes into a bit more detail than I do here

My senior Engineering Capstone Project was focused on building a disc golf simulator, similar to a traditional golf simulator you may see in a barcade or local golf store

I worked with three other students to eventually create a working prototype over the course of our school year

The prototype consisted of a reComputer J1020 NVIDIA Jetson Nano module computer, two CSI cameras interfacing with the J1020, and a customized rig and netting to house the simulator

We were able to manually calculate the six flight parameters needed to simulate disc flight - velocity, spin rate, nose angle, vertical launch angle, horizontal launch angle, and bank - but this was a slow process and did not provide meaningful feedback to users

We were successfully able to calculate velocity and nose angle instantaneously and return these values immediately to the user, which was quite the accomplishment given our budget and hardware limitations
