Reminiscence

This post describes the entire working of Quadcopters in a nutshell. The steps which my team followed during the entire process are shown below in a general format. It only describes the pre-requisites of each phase. As a final year project or any engineering project, "Autonomous control of an Aerial platform" has taken heights, right after the advent of Drones. However it is really difficult to realize such controls. Moreover few people like Jeff Rowberg, Oscar Liang have worked on it and that too on Arduino Platform. Before going into the complicacies associated with the research here is a brief description of the objective. The aim is to construct an aerial platform and embed certain algorithms which can autonomously control the platform when on flight. Here the platform is selected as a Quadcopter. After construction of frame and mounting of parts like Electronic Speed Controllers, Brushless DC Motors, it is required to get the sensors and controls ready. Sensors...

This post is dedicated to the tiresome journey that I had to face for getting “Passport”. As graduation came to an end, the very next thing that I initiated was to appear for Aspire Modules (For TCS joining date) and also in the meanwhile apply for a fresh passport. I had heard a lot about the passport procedures. Different people come out with different opinions when it comes to a single topic. And so it happened with "Passport" too. Nevertheless it was me who had to take a decision. So I opted to search for the right procedure. Guess what Goggle helps!! And so it was me and Goggle in an endless interaction over passport. On 3rd July 2014, I applied for the passport online through normal scheme. It was very simple and things went smoothly (no power cut, no problem with server etc). After all the formalities I received an appointment on 8th July 2014. So as such I got my documents ready for the appointment. This was my first venture to Passport Seva Kendra. I don...

As the timeline speaks (23rd July 2010)"Welcome" --->"Goodbye"--->"Welcome back!!!"--->"Come back soon"--->............................--->"Farewell"(30th June 2014) --->"I am back!!"(16th July 2014) I left hostel with all my luggage on 30th June 2014 and travelled by bus to Guwahati. But I can't term it as a final goodbye because I was habituated to go by train and final semester results were still left to be served on the table. And so I had to come back. And so did me on 16th July 2014. On reaching Jorhat, I found that I had kept my spectacles and mobile phone on the train which already left to Mariani. What a welcome!!!!!! I had no option but to catch a "magic" transport to Mariani Station. Meanwhile Ankit was on contact with the passengers who found my things. Finally, after an hour of unexpected tensions, I got my things back. I reached hostel at 9.30 AM. I felt as a "fresh...

Days at TCS ILP Hyderabad could be best described by the best weekend visits by the best "Weekend Hangouts" group. This group was dedicated only to food-experiences in the city.This post is dedicated to Divyesh, Sarvanan, Vikash and Swastik. Char Minar Weekends are worth "weekendful" only when we can get to know about new places to "eat". And so was the weekend dated 1 st November 2014. With four co-travelers, I started off the journey by catching 116 number bus from Q City(TCS ILP Training Centre) (Nanakramguda Village,Gachibowli) to Kothi. Kothi can be described as one place full of markets in all the directions, where one can look for. However the main destination was ‘Char Minar’. So we took 75 number bus to Char Minar. We reached the place by 4 pm. One could only find tourists in the entire. The place was illuminated in Muslim community dwellings. There were shops all around with various things ranging from food to clothes. All these mar...
