Quiz Buzzer v2
Nov 20, 2014
After being stuck in development hell for a few years now, version 2 of the Quiz Buzzer is at last here. The final iteration of polishing/testing/reengineering has been done, and the buzzer is finally complete. The new buzzer is one single all in one board with the LED seven segment display, the display driver circuitry and the controller circuitry all integrated into one monolithic PCB. Finally, from prototype to usable product…

Manjunath and I have been meaning to do something these hols - you know, just something to feel a sense of satisfaction before diving into regular coursework and stuff next semester. So, we finally decided to attempt a quadrifilar helix for APT reception, and here we are!

Over the Arabian Sea
Feb 26, 2013
…here at last, we have these spectacular images - images that rained down from the sky! It's true that they are still imperfect, and rather noisy (a situation that I intend to fix soon). But, anyway, here they be recorded, before the miracle of the moment passes away…

I just decided to write a Python script to convert resistor color codes to resistance values. Later, I also wrote a script to do the reverse - namely to find the color code of a given resistor.

Stochastic Simulation
Mar 17, 2012
This is a loose collection of programs we wrote as part of a course on "Stochastic Models" we had in the fourth semester of college. This includes a couple of pseudo random number generators (the Von Neumann middle square PRNG and the linear congruential generator PRNG), an implementation of the Monte Carlo method to determine area of an arbitrarily shaped figure and a simple simulation of birth-death process.
Tic Tac Toe
Mar 17, 2012
Sudhakar and I did the coding at the end of our first semester in college (actually, during our semester examinations!). We just wanted to kick start our entry into AI programming and thought teaching the computer to play tic tac toe might be a good start. We may do far greater things, but this is the first proper project we did and hence we are obviously proud of it!
