Purpose
A portable, Arduino-based microfluidic system for detecting microplastics in water, carried out under the TÜBİTAK 2209-A undergraduate research programme. I work on the sensor electronics and hardware validation.

Notebook notes
- 04.1
The project was restarted from scratch after the previous team could not make progress.
- 04.2
Measurement chain: an MPX2050DP pressure sensor, an LM358P operational amplifier and an Arduino.
- 04.3
The current target is a simplified single op-amp differential amplifier, with close attention to the accuracy of component values.
- 04.4
Next steps: validate the circuit on a breadboard, measure accuracy and stability, then integrate the sensor electronics with the microfluidic system.
