12 days after

Enough vacation updates

Now I am 15 days into 4th semester and have many things to do. Now I
am feeling more serious about life. There is no time to be wasted.
Every minute is precious.

Along with this I am collaborating with a aero-enthusiast friend of
mine, Biswadip to make a dream come true: a homemade RC plane fully
made from scratch. I will soon upload the fabrication photos here.

Project Quadcopter is underway. for that I am learning embedded C bit
by bit. It will take sometime for me to write my own firmware needed
for stabilization through PID method.

Vacation update #3

Hello!

The new year has kicked in a new level of excitement in me. This is me
writing on last day of the one-month vacation and now I am back in my
college hostel. Its good to be back.

This time I have no resolutions to speak about. Everything and
anything will be implemented and done quickly. Let me update you of
what happened since the last post.

My parents approved budget for making a quadcopter, so I bought a
Hobbyking 6 channel 2.4GHz transmitter and receiver along with USB to
UART converter. It has to be programmed through computer, so I tested
it with DigitalRadio software, It worked. Next I need to learn the PID
algorithm from someone in my college experienced with this stuff.

Still learning AVR C and arduino programming along with several
protocols to download all data from sensors to microcontroller and
even display them on serial interface on PC.

I am proud to be a part of my team competing for the annual Cansat
competition to be held in Texas this year.

Always learning
Goutham
