The month's roundup
Big things happened this time!
.
.
Really!
I switched over to Nokia 1100(that old.... phone, just phone) from Samsung Star. Android in small phones sucks! There are no developers taking care of smaller models and as time passes, the OS crashes these phones every now and then and there will be a time when people realize the need for a basic thing called "phone".
1100 is great! Since the time I started using it, avoided momentary data connection (also balance cuts), no battery crashes(it needs to be charged only once in four days) and it slips easy into my pocket unlike those big 'galaxies' that break when you sit with them in your back pocket.
The best part is it is robust. Survives fall from great heights.
Kritin and myself took part in a biology quiz 'Mind Vs Wild' this technical fest at SRM University. Though we have non-biology past, we could make it to finals. Now I explain what happened: Eight teams; each of two, made it to final round. Through all the quiz, we had score multiplier cards(2x, 3x & 4x) along with negative marking answering wrong. With these cards you can shoot your score up or bring it down. Since its eight questions and 3 cards for each team, the cards had to be used somewhere. We all had great time till last question. Astonishingly, four teams scored 56 and other four teams scored 10. It was a tie. Another question(this time any card choice) to go and we decided to use 2x. We didn't want to take risk but we answered it correct. The last two teams took 4x and their answers were also right(Noooooooooooo!). Since it was another tie, one of them won and carried away 6000 INR. The next team carried 3000 INR. We carried nothing(Uh! we must have taken 4x and made it forward). We both learnt a lesson: take risks.
Another highlight during the week was 'The Eye'. It is a prop human eye(ignore the size) Kritin and myself made for Arvind(the committee head) of the ongoing fest, Aaruuushh(Yeah it sounds kinda awkward but lets face it - AAARUUSHHHHHHH.........., the non-technical management fest of SRM University [Hehe, just kidding...]). Here is footage of Kritin and me with The Eye:
The next day we had 'Kanan Gill' show in our campus. Had good laugh over things we often listen to!
Then came project time. Time to test our skills, creativity and passion towards electronics(seriously) under two subjects: microprocessors and communication systems. You can take a look at communication systems project report here. It is a simulation project which simulates....well, take a look as I said.
In the microprocessor one, we use a microcontroller(to those MBA guys: both don't differ much in terms of productivity). Kritin made a robot. The video above explains it all. "The robot is intended to make noise, wake man, make him chase and switch it off. Thus ensuring he is ready for the day's work with nice warm-up" said Kritin. The irony: on day of submission, he had to wake up early to prepare the robot. The next day he woke up at 8 only to realize that he switched off his phone when it rang at 6. He needn't bunk a class if he'd prepared that thing a day earlier:(
I made this:
I call it Electronic Tape. As you see the board itself is not the project. It has microcontroller at top, three counters driving 7 segment displays below with red reset button to set the measured distance in meters back to zero. How do we measure? You can see a glass blob with blue and red wires coming outta lower right of the board. Its called photodiode. There is a glowing LED positioned opposite to photodiode across a slotted wheel which is rotated on ground with a long holding support. The controller counts number of times photodiode is blocked and for every meter certain number corresponds, it sends signal to decimal counters to increment the displayed value by one.
Shit happens. Even to me. Few call me Bhagwan(God) for what I do. I deny. Because God has no form i.e. no physical body, hence no hands and legs. So he is jobless. I am busy(writing this post). So I am not God:)
Hence shit happens.
I went into low the day before project demo and ate junk outside that night. Came back to room and checked the battery. It was discharged! This charged me to change the battery and got me work till 5:30am to make the board shown above. What a night!
I heard my calling earlier this month. It is just one word. It is GATE, Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering. It is my GATEway to my future. From now I have 15 months to prepare well. 15 months to prove that even a loser can have an awesome career. 15 months to prove myself. Let me prove it.
I was having financial problems(you call it miserliness) lately. Couldn't even afford to buy a new bucket(handle broken) and pillow(don't know why).
I made changes to the site-
>Wider content
>No G+ profile
>No 'freedom' picture
All these do not matter much. I was just trying to reduce the blog's loading time.
About Kritin: You must have noticed a name which I mentioned thrice(third at this sentence' beginning). Kritin is an electronics hobbyist, my friend and roommate. "I want to do research, teach and win Noble prize" he says. He is ready to sell the above robot. Ask for a quote by commenting below if you are finding it difficult to wake up early.
Now its time for some random pics:
When intellectual individuals are given time to do just one thing - waste!
Eleven displayed on seven segment display. Error!
Best battery in the world.

My new earphones
Hi People!
I am posting things very late nowadays. I call this procrastination.
Now let me stop bitching about myself and come to the point. A month ago I bought a new pair of earphones. This one was much expensive compared to what I used earlier, but it is worth the cost.
What led me to buy new ones?
Ans: No quality sound and no more hacks left.
I ordered my first pair on Flipkart in the middle of 2nd semester when I forget my Samsung ones at home. Yes, Samsung was good then. A friend of me suggested Philips SHE1360 and it costed me 150 rupees. It had really good bass but less efficiency as my roommates could hear what I can(half the sound escaped from behind). As end of fourth semester was near, the left can stopped working. since using just the right one was uncomfortable, I brought another failed earphones from home whose right can was damaged, then I cut off the defective ones and connected male jacks to their respective females.
These two females are marked L and R. Now the corresponding Left and Right signals come from a male header, with common ground which goes into phone/computer. Essentially I made two different pairs of earphones to work as one(after clipping off dumb sides). The awkward part; this earphone's left one is in-ear and right is on-ear. These is again a problem since in-ears have lesser sound loss, hence needed to manually balance sound levels in system's settings.
This hybrid style served till almost end of exam week. Now there are no partly scrape earphones left as both sides failed at once. Now I have a real excuse to buy new pair. All my friends talk about Skull Candy, Beats and Bose(The starting price is Rs.5000). I was then looking in range of Rs.500-1000(with parents' consent). At home during summer, I used my mother's Transcend. It has excellent sound clarity.
After returning back to hostel, I often turned music loud(laptop speakers are a horrible way, they give you wrong impression of whats being played). Till then I didn't spent great deal on earphones. One day while I was studying, my roommate lent Sennheiser CX180, asking me to try it.
BHAM! Those sounded with incredible clarity, ear-thumping bass and priced reasonably. I already had good image of the brand. So I proceeded to order one the next night. I spent Rs.948 and no regrets till now.

My DRDL project
Hello!
I am posting this after a long time.
My college requires me to do summer training or project for few weeks at any workplace outside to gain some practical experience. I planned to do it outside Hyderabad and live on my own, but my mother insisted that I stay at home and join some place within limits of my reach.
With some contacts through my mom's department and endless pursuing, I finally 'earned' an opportunity to work at Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) at Kanchanbagh, Hyderabad. Well, very few students get to do their training/internship at reputed organisations like the above. I felt lucky and at the same time, bit scared as how would my first day go.
I joined on 5th June. The campus is really huge. It's main road stretches itself 6 km inside till back gate(never measured it though) and its highly secured at entry points. No electronic devices are allowed inside. The scientist I was assigned to sits in a lab near the back gate. I went there almost every alternate day by taking bus and get to the lab from main gate by asking two wheeler lifts. Believe me, now I can read your mind and make you allow me to sit behind you.
The lab I worked under develops support systems for Bramhos, the hypersonic cruise missile made jointly by India and Russia. At the time I worked, it housed the launcher truck and communications truck. Those were quite big.
My mentor was Mr. Shammas Mohyaddin. He described himself as an electrical guy the first time I met him and was then studying control of seeker's gimbal motors. He asked me if was interested in PID control. I happily said 'Yes!'(That was what I was aiming for with coreless motors of my tiny quadcopter project).The sad thing was I had to be well versed in control system concepts first of all and I opted out computer architecture as my 4th semester elective in spite of having control systems as a choice. Though I realized the latter's importance a bit later, I still regret.
My project was to study and simulate speed and position control of a armature controlled DC motor through Prorportional-Integral-Derivative(PID) control using MATLAB's Simulink. Mentor suggested me 'Control systems engineering by Norman Nise'. I should say, this is a great book. It got me interested in control systems in very less time(Just read the first chapter). I had three weeks time to finish it and my mentor being busy, spent an hour and half with me every time I visit to teach concepts and clarify doubts. Thank You Sir!
Though the staff does not allow you to use the hardware and facilities there at this stage, you can learn lot about things they work on. There is also a library there to help you out.
With this, I almost finished main portions of the book and could learn Simulink on my own to prepare submit my report on time(I could document only the speed control one). I learnt two things from this experience:
1. I have grown up and now it's my turn to learn and do things which I like. There is no time to be wasted.
2. 'I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul', quoted from 'Invictus' is very true.
Thanks for reading!

Abhisek's fairy tale
Yes
The same Macbook Abhisek whom I mentioned earlier. Here is his fairy tale(worth mentioning again).
My team was all set and two days to take-off.
Abhisek, one of the team was wary of difficulties he was going to face then. He called the first flight carrier, Etihad. He was advised to cancel his flight tickets or he would get trapped at immigration on arrival at Dallas,US. He didn't like the reply at all.
Abhisek spoke all night. Same was the reply from other travel agencies. Shit shouldn't happen this way. Below is the excerpt from what we talked that evening. It was clearly evident from the screenshots that he already cancelled his tickets by that time.
We all worked hard. Our Cansat was packed for flight by then and shopping done. Five out of seven members booked tickets. Others were Shivam Prakash, my senior(more about him later) and me. Four of the high-five spent nearly INR 70,000.
We all were silent and dumbstruck for an hour. How can one cancel flight ticket(miss a golden opportunity) just because he/she felt something might go wrong with a slightly different name in ticket from that of passport?
After an 45 mins of last conversation I had with him:
Miracle happened! Even he did't believe it for a while!
Next... All enthusiasm back to normal. As of this writing they are in Dallas, Texas. All the five... working hard to win for the launch tomorrow.
Wishing them clear skies and Best of Luck!

I am free now
Hello!
I post this kind of stuff every time I am done with my exams. Finishing them is like breaking free.
Last time for almost half vacation I was bedridden in my uncle's place. Now I started working on the following stuff:
1. AVR C programming
2. Project Compound Eye
The first one is still in progress as I paused it in middle of 4th semester. Now I continue, at my own pace. Someday in my life(not too far) I yearn to master atleast one microprocessor architecture to learn and apply embedded systems.
Project Compound Eye is still in conceptual phase. The name suggests it all. Its about a wide curvature array of LEDs, just like a bee's eye which sense light, noted as Mims effect. This is used to create an image(possibly more than visible spectrum), by means of amplifying, processing and mapping output voltage from each LED in a spatial manner . Will say more about it later.
I got two more exciting things to share:
I am a part of team SRM VAIMAANIX, representing SRM University in annual CanSat competition to be held at Burkett, Texas during June 12-14. I could not be with my team for long and go with them to USA this time but I will next year. I did electronic fabrication and camera motor start technique and also helped in initial testing. Wishing my team Best of Luck!
Next, I will be starting my summer training at DRDL tomorrow. DRDL is one of labs under DRDO which is involved in design and development of all kinds of missiles. I will share my experience there soon.

Wow! I had a chance to use a Mac!
Hey!
This post is written with a Macbook Pro. It belongs to my friend Abhisek.
The interface is quite simple, though 'technical' users of Windows may find some time getting adjusted to touchpad and desktop interfaces, finding it surprisingly different. Screen of this Mac is incredible. I am really enjoying what I am writing now but still it was just 20 minutes since I switched this thing on.
All the text and graphics are far better than my PC. I mean it looks more lively. Everything about display is completely customisable. The track pad has just one button and I am not sure if this thing has got left and right clicks separately. Keyboard is quite ergonomic. This is just about how it feels.
Looks are great. This Mac is just about the size and weight of my laptop PC except this is silver and mine black. I really love the lighted apple logo, caught my imagination from a very long time. It even has got a row of battery indication LEDs, just press the button beside it and you get to see how much is left.
The best thing I think is it looks like a one piece, complete package, a computer when you close the lid. Quite compact outside and versatile inside.
After all, Its Mac.

What a great game!
Hello!
Its Age Of Empires III again and we had a great time (Arvind, Kritin Vs Akshansh, Goutham)!
My team won. Below are the stats shown. I am blue and my partner purple. It was for nearly 1h 40m. Suspense and thrill filled.
I couldn't believe my eyes after looking at the blue line. Beautiful!
