So what did she say?

Okay.. this is called "So, what did she say?". Well, I havent even asked her yet. I dont even know what is it that i want to say. So, this is more like a song pondering over what she might say.... ...... should i ask her out.... should i tell her, that i like her......but there are no lyrics....... ;)

My First Intrumental Rock

Acoustica Beatcraft, My Lefty Washburn V.
Spent the weekend making drum rolls, and composing.
And this is the first draft,
my first instrumental rock composition,

Stratocaster.........

Hendrix, used to play on a "Re-strung" strat...... but atleast he ad a right-y strat ( a stratocaster ) to re-string.
Yeah, today i got my first lead guitar... a "re-strung" stratocaster....
And here's the story of its salvation..
We, take the strat,, clean it up... resolder it, restring it, re-intone it...
and voila.. a new "lead" guitar..

BluePrint-ED

BluePrint-ED, thats what i decided to call my csp301 project. FLTK, OpenGL, and LEDA , 2000 odd lines of complicated C++ code, a makefile.............
But its good.. the image above was made in the draw window itself,, cotains 80+ points....
will post the code on sourceforge someday..

LCDs........ haha .. "display power"

finally... after 3 days of thinking, coding and "connection checking", i got the bloody hd44780 and ks0066u based lcd modules working.
"Pragun ZIXIC!", i know sounds stupid but.. just think of my desperation for some text to come over every time i pressed reset on the 18f4550 board.




wires running all over.....
Download the code ( MCC18 compiler, PIC 18f4550 )
8bit mode
4bit mode
I will write a lcd interfacing tutorial someday...
but for now you can refer to myke's lcd page

Rd, the line following bot part1

I was getting bored af all the microcontrollers so I just hooked up a LM324 and a ULN,couple of LDRs and a few resistances "just to see" if simple things like line following can be done without fancy 4.0 mips processors.
The complete story

PCB Making

I needed to get some "interfacing work" done, lcd interfacing, nintendo controller interfacing, accelerometer testing and stuff. And before all that i needed my pic 18f4550 usb board, so i just made the simplest pcb design possible, using only one wire jumper. Complete Story

keeda .. Legged robot...

Its, 8'o clock,, dinner at Holistic, flight to Bangalore at 4 o clock ( early morning ). I go to the Samsung sponsored design lab, and take a look at the really cool innovations done by IITD MTech students. Suddenly it hits me... a robotic insect... and .....one of the initial sketches.....

the complete story..

Presenting ZIXIC!

I was tinkering with Incscape, the opensource svg editor, with the word "ZIXIC" zipping around in my NEURAL NETWORKS. And the outcome.... zixic blog.....
