โจ 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
โAn open, real-time OS-based controller for electrospinning helps researchers tailor production conditions and explore novel materials.โ
๐งช The work is part of research projects:
- Institutional subprogram #02.04.02: Layered semiconductor compounds & nanostructures
- Youth project #24.80012.5007.12TC
