Under the leadership of Dr. Ramazan Yeniceri, the summer internship students at ITU Aerospace Research Center Avionics laboratory achieved a great success by developing a sun sensor and an ultrasonic anemometer in four weeks.

The summer internship program, led by the Avionics Laboratory and under the supervision of Dr. Ramazan Yeniçeri, was performed by Res. Assist. Sezer Memiş, Res. Assist. Emine Elif Yiğit, and a group of devoted students have witnessed significant achievements. The team carried out outstanding research and demonstrated their creativity and skills by developing a sun sensor system. The students initiated their journey by designing the sun sensor system, procuring components, and modeling their concepts in Simulink. Progressing further, they developed sophisticated algorithms, seamlessly translating them into embedded software deployed on a real-time operating system (RTOS). The multidisciplinary approach extended to PCB drawing and solid model design, and the team utilized 3D printing technology to bring their concepts to life. Notably, the students successfully transmitted measurements over WiFi, achieving an impressive deviation of less than 1 degree using over 30 Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs). This technological feat reflects their commitment to precision and innovation. In a parallel internship group, students took on the challenge of developing an ultrasonic anemometer, demonstrating their prowess in designing devices capable of measuring speed on two axes. Rigorous testing underscored the reliability and functionality of their creations, marking significant strides in the students' academic and professional development. These transformative projects not only represent a testament to the students' capabilities but also pave the way for future internships and academic careers. Aviation Institute continues to foster an environment where theoretical knowledge converges with hands-on experience, empowering students to contribute to advancements in technology and shaping the future of aviation and beyond.
