Reverse Engineering Projects

Motor Controller Reverse Engineering

• Problem: A commonly repaired motor controller board lacked complete documentation on schematics, part lists, and board layout.
• Solution: Designed a schematic and expanded documentation for the board, allowing for a $1,200 cost saving per board and a 50% increase in repair time due to improved technician diagnosis.

Conveyor Test Loop Reverse Engineering

• Problem: A recently acquired conveyor belt test loop lacked adequate documentation and had operational issues.
• Solution: Took a system-wide approach to assist in understanding the conveyor belt system, leading to rewritten documentation and fixed issues. Additionally, redesigned the loop interface to allow a technician to change the conveyor loop speed 100x faster, potentially leading to presets to emulate systems in other postal facilities.
