A long & rewarding process is coming to a close!
Building this module taught me a lot about…….
Explorer Smart Alarm Evolution
From the original RFID breadboard prototype to a complete wireless key-fob-controlled automotive alarm module.
Explorer Alarm Module
Initial RFID-controlled security prototype built around an ESP32, OLED display, relay outputs, buzzer logic and breadboard wiring.
Alarm Logic Development
Bench testing and software refinement used to validate arming, disarming, OLED feedback, relay behavior and system-state logic.
Final Wireless Alarm Module
Finalized alarm system upgraded with a wireless key fob, completed control logic, organized hardware and vehicle-ready lock and unlock functionality.
Engineering Better Systems.
Engineering Systems. Quantitative Research. Product Development.
I build software, hardware, embedded systems, and quantitative research platforms that solve real-world engineering and market problems.
From CAD and electronics to Python and market structure, TrevLabs documents the process of turning ideas into working products.
TrevLabs is built around one core idea: understanding complex systems, then designing better ones. The work spans mechanical design, software development, quantitative research, and public build documentation.
