Background
The project
AP Physics final project — a fully operational pneumatic cannon with software-controlled elevation and an onboard ballistics calculator that determines the optimal launch angle for any target.
Division of work
Jaden Cermak-Hosein designed and built the pneumatics. I handled all software and electrical work — the UI framework, angle control system, and ballistics simulation.
Recognition
Recognized as the most impressive AP Physics final project at River Dell High School.
