PCB Designer
University of Cape Town – EEE3088F Course Project

- As part of our first design course, we worked in pairs to develop a MicroMouse robot capable of autonomously solving a maze. In the first semester, we focused on designing the power and sensor subsystems, including PCB development and hardware integration. In the second semester, we implemented the maze-solving algorithm, incorporating wall detection and path-planning logic to achieve full autonomous navigation.
- Designed and implemented the power subsystem for an autonomous MicroMouse robot using Altium Designer.
- Integrated USB-C charging, battery management, and voltage regulation circuits on a compact custom PCB (82 x 60 mm).
- Ensured safe operation by designing current-limiting, protection, and external load switching circuits.
