Hello there, my name is Peter Smaal. I am a disciplined person that likes to work either in teams or individually to find solutions to problems. My way of thinking is very solution-orientated, which also means that I will never give up untill I have found the solution to a problem.
I take care of the stockroom. Other activities are refiling the products in the store, unloading and loading the supply truck and making sure the new products are seperated and sorted for the right isle.
As trainee at Van Rennes Industrial Automation my job was developing human machine interfaces and SCADA systems for remote dashboarding and controlling machines such as conveyors. These dashboards were meant for the clients and for the maintenance workers of Van Rennes.
My job as a sales assistant for Pearle Opticiens was to help people in the store to find the right new glasses for them. Repairing broken glasses was also a part of my job.
The things I like to do during my free time are sports, playing music, gaming and hanging out with friends. I try to go to the gym when I have free time. Next to sports I play the guitar almost everyday. I've always wanted to be a professional at playing the guitar I'm not there quite yet though. I like to spend my weekends with friends, drinking a beer and socializing with them.
During this project we worked in groups of 2 people. The goal of the project was to create a simulation of an electric furnace using an arduino with buttons, LED's and a digital number board. The pits of the furnace were selected using the buttons and the heat could be turned up and down. It also had a child lock functionality, meaning if you pressed the button you could not use any other buttons anymore. By turning the pits on or of you activated the LED appointed to that pit. This LED would turn brighter or less bright when the heat was changed.

The goal of the project was to program a Parallax Robot so it could navigate itself by using sensors to detect walls and obstacles. The sensors used in this project were an ultrasonic sensor and infrared sensors.

During this project we were working in groups of 4 with the SCRUM method. The goal of the project was to program a functional ATM system (Not with real money). It did have to be able to dispose "money". The money dispenser was built with lego and servo's to push out the "bills". The back- and frontend were completely written in Java. Using Jason to talk with the database. Sadly the one that made the website for this project deleted it but the files and videos can be found with the links below.

For this project we had to get up with our own idea. Our idea was to create an atomated window that would close when it rained and open when the temperature was too high or the humidity was too high. We also made a user interface for the final product so the window was able to be controlled manually.
