✨ Abstract Summary

This work presents a low-cost, open-source electrospinning system designed for nanofiber production. Built around an Arduino Mega and powered by FreeRTOS, the setup provides:

  • Real-time task control and precision motor management
  • High-voltage output regulation with feedback
  • LCD-based parameter tuning
  • Code hosted on GitHub with GitHub Actions CI/CD for cross-platform building

This modular, open-source system is intended to speed up research in nanomaterials, with potential applications in:

  • Tissue engineering
  • Filtration
  • Energy storage

β€œAn open, real-time OS-based controller for electrospinning helps researchers tailor production conditions and explore novel materials.”

πŸ§ͺ The work is part of research projects:

  • Institutional subprogram #02.04.02: Layered semiconductor compounds & nanostructures
  • Youth project #24.80012.5007.12TC
