In this project, I helped researcher Juan Jose Robayo Yepes with his automation and subsystem integration of microfluidic control research. 

This project aims to create a compact, portable, affordable syringe pump for aquatic environment simulation and analysis using 3D printing and stepper motors. 

My task is to set up, calculate, and code the interactions between Raspberry Pi (micro-processor), stepper motors, and solenoids.

Here is the final setup: 

For more detailed documentation of this setup. Please refer to the technical documentation PDF below. 

Overall, this project improved my overall skills as an engineer. I learned how to use microprocessors in combination with electronic components like stepper motors and solenoids. I also applied much of the knowledge and skills I learned in circuits and software programming in this project.
