Projects

I have done countless projects over the years, mainly for personal use. Some of them are made publically available for free. Over the past few years I have shifted more into projects for professional use. Below are some of both categories. For more information, contact me using the Contact page.

Professional

Live VR-stream from the DaVinci Xi© surgical robot

I developed a system that streams live video from the DaVinci Xi© surgical robot to any type of VR headset. The feed is presented in side-by-side VR format, providing an excellent 3D viewing experience. It can stream either over the internet or within a closed local Wi-Fi network for privacy. The system is used for robotic surgery courses and for training healthcare professionals. Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with or employed by Intuitive Surgical Inc.©, and I have never received financial compensation from them for this project. The system is not publicly available.

3D-printed accessories for the DaVinci Xi © console

I have designed several accessories for the DaVinci Xi © surgical console. The product featured in the image is a side-table with a custom engraved logo. The prototypes are currently undergoing trials and might be available for purchase once this process is complete.

Personal

Water temperature monitor

I built this project to publish live water temperature readings from our local pier to the internet. A solar-powered transmitter on the pier — charged via a small solar panel and battery — sends data wirelessly to a receiver at a remote location. The receiver connects to the internet and publishes the readings to a website, which can even be saved to your phone as an app for quick access. I have a custom PHP and javascript to display graphs and statistics.
The system is flexible by design: it can easily be adapted to use virtually any sensor, monitor virtually anything, and publish the data virtually anywhere. You can see it in action at www.aashansen.no/vallo

This can be made on demand, on certain terms. Use the Contact form for inquiries.

Simulator Button Box

Button Box for simulators. It has a range of buttons, switches, rotary encoders and potmeters for use with flight simulators, racing simulators etc. It is recognized by Windows as a joystick controller and does not need drivers to run. Plug and play!

This project is publically available at Thingiverse

Joystick controlled camera gimbal

I made this to control a handheld thermal camera with a joystick. It is powered by a standard 5V powerbank through a USB-C cable and utilizes a PlayStation-type joystick to control the camera . It has both a pan and tilt function. The gimbal has a standard camera mount bolt which makes it compatible with a range of different cameras. This project is not publically available but you can contact me for details.

FPV-Drone ground station

This is a ground station for Long Range (LR) drones/planes. It has a very long range reception of video and an even longer range for radio control. The video feed is transmitted wirelessly to FPV-goggles.
