Hairpin filter design ( Anglais)Électronique - 05-07-2020
Electronic filters are circuits which remove unwanted frequency components from the signal to enhance wanted ones. The hairpin topology is a microstrip band-pass filter for the gigahertz band (UHF). They can be very useful with SDR to improve the reception. This article features a Javascript generator for these. It also shows their design and my results.

OpenEMG is a project I started to make an open-hardware, easy to make, EMG module to capture muscle information from Arduino or any other micro-controller.
Electromagnetic interference mapping ( Anglais)Informatique - 22-04-2019
Mapping near-field electromagnetic parasitic emissions is useful for the design, debug and pre-compliance testing of electronic devices. Unfortunately, there is no simple way to make EM scans with sufficient level of details/accuracy, speed and reasonable cost. Hence, I developed this solution to make high-resolution and fast 2D maps of RF EMI for PCBs and more.
3D-printed prosthetic hand ( Anglais)Électronique - 06-04-2019
The human hand is made up of a total of 27 individual bones connected by joints and ligaments, and operated by muscles situated in the hand and wrist. This project's objective is to mimic it and build an open-harware fully 3D-printed prosthetic hand.
AI astronomy pictures processing ( Anglais)Informatique - 08-03-2019
Digital image processing can be used to remove noise and signal distortion from pictures. It is particularly useful for astronomy, as the details are faint and often blurry. The objective of this project is to define an artificial neural network (ANN) and train it with machine learning to take several noisy, convoluted astronomy pictures and output a single processed photograph.
EDF motor design ( Anglais)Électronique - 19-02-2019
Electric ducted fans (EDF) are an efficient way of producing thrust for an aircraft. However, there are a lot of variables that can be fine tuned to optimize their performance: body curves, fan blade pitch, duct length, number of fan blades, etc. Using both simulation and experimental results, the objective of this small project is to enhance the thrust per input Watt of my design.
AI-powered digital signal processing ( Anglais)Informatique - 10-02-2019
Machine learning is fantastic to apply complex mathematical operations without being specifically programmed like in conventional algorithms. In this article, I share two artificial neural networks experiments related to digital signal processing (DSP): discrete Fourier transforms and signal corruption recovery.
Homemade PCB manufacturing ( Anglais)Électronique - 21-10-2018
Homemade PCB manufacturing is a great way to get inexpensive board prototypes with no delay. In this article, I show the method I came up with to get reliable, fast and precise PCBs with no headaches using a 3D printer, a permanent marker and any etchant.

Interact is a simple PHP open-source comment system that can be added to any website in minutes to improve interactivity and user's involvement. Client-side, it is very lightweight (<6KB CSS and JS combined) and intuitive (no logins, no cookies,...). Server-side, it is very easy to setup, manage and even customize to fit your needs.
Getting started with RTL-SDR ( Anglais)Informatique - 24-07-2018
Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a radio communication system where components that have been traditionally implemented in hardware are instead implemented by means of software. RTL-SDR is an extremely inexpensive way to start exploring, demodulating, decoding... about anything you could thing of in the VHF and UFH radio range. This article is a quick start guide with RTL-SDR to begin capturing and decoding signal on GNU/Linux, and two simple example projects.

Gimbaled Model Rocket Simulator ( Anglais)Informatique - 08-05-2018
Thrust vectoring is the ability of an aircraft, rocket, or other vehicle to manipulate the direction of the thrust from its motor in order to control the attitude of the vehicle.
