About Me

My name is Benjamin Job and I have a particular interest in electronics, programming, and robotics. Currently, I am studying M.Eng. (Hons) Robotics 4 year Qualification originally from a B.Eng. 3 year Qualification when I started at University and now developing my understanding and knowledge in the field.

 

Most of my projects were developed before most became commercially available and involve automation/autonomous control; more recently include long range radio control, drone FPV (first-person view) and now large scale 3D printer.

 

This website has been created as documentation for home hobby and official projects I am working on.

Home: Projects

Octocopter

An 8 arm autonomous drone built from internationally sourced bespoke components and 3D designed and printed parts. The Octocopter was designed for a heavy payload capacity combined with a longer flight time.

FPV Quadcopter

A first person view mini quad-rotor drone, very small but capable including OSD imaging and fully autonomous control. Includes telemetry for detailed flight statistics and video stream via USB capture card to a command computer and/or FPV goggles.

Long Range Quadcopter

A more basic build, lightweight quad-rotor for long distance flight. Includes autonomous control arduino board interphase and small gimbal camera for FPV visuals as well as long range telemetry.

3D Printer

3D printer with extra functions such as leveling, connected server with webcam monitoring, heavy duty extruder and an LCD display for readouts. The 3D printer makes use of ABS with a heated bed. The printer can hold large filament reels and has fan cooled hot end all interphased with an arduino control board.

Home Control

An intelligent home control system built around a Raspberry Pi for power, plugs/switches, lights, sensors, IR blasters, speakers and smart home security system with geofence auto arm/disarm. Over 150 devices interlinked via RC, IR, WiFi, web based bridge interfaces (android and linux) and wired.

Features 2D and 3D floor plans for control and IP camera setup for auto capture of intruders.

 

Also has voice control through siri and alexa (amazon echo) voice services and event/automation creation.

Electric Bike

A retrofitted electric long range mountain bike capable of tracking distance and speed.  With pedal assist or throttle control options, the bike is also able to move at walking pace while holding a "walk" button and set/limit particular speeds.

Giant Wheeled 3D Printer

Looking at research and previous attempts at large/unlimited build volume 3D printers, most are stationary and small in scale or have a fixed build volume. The fixed or small-scale of the printer's limit part size, which means the 3D print may have to be split. This reduces effectiveness and increases overall design and print time. The design includes a rigid modular frame, which allows quick transportation as 5 modules. Stepper motors drive each axis, including a pulley system for the y axis that can drive wheels or run in a railed configuration. The y axis can therefore be extended/printed directly onto a floor or large print surface. The design uses dual Z and Y motors to support the large frame and very heavy tooling such as multiple print heads or CNC/laser work.
