Sony Headphones review

2008-01-17T19:28:00.001+05:30

I love gadgets solely because they make our life simple and they also give us pleasure. I recently viewed a review site wize having reviews on all types of gadgets. It is a review site where each product is ranked based on expert and user reviews. This website had reviews about various gadgets headphones, mobiles, camcorders, cameras etc.

I surfed this site and I came across these cool sony headphones. These headphones have good sound quality and features, after all they are sony headphones and they got to have class and features.

I would like to share review about a sony headphones I liked.

Sony MDRNC22 Consumer Headphones

These headphones come with a volume control and have got good sound quality.

It has a very small size due to its earbud design. Small power consumption,stereo sound and sensitivity of 102 dB are some of its prominent features.

It has a wizerank of 89 and lists among the top headphones.

There is one problem is its noise cancelling which is not so good. It adds a slight hiss to the sound which is a very disturbing feature and but it doesn't matter much cause the hiss is usually not noticable

It is priced between 67$ -100$ which according to me might not meet everyone's pocket but it is worth every penny spent on it.

ROBOT CHASSIS

2007-11-30T15:02:00.000+05:30

Chassis according to Wikipedia is a chassis consists of a framework that supports an inanimate object, analogous to an animal's skeleton, for example in a motor vehicle or a firearm. According to me it is the skeleton of the robot. The first part of a robot is its chassis. The shape and size of the chassis depends upon the shape of the robot or vehicle to be made. The shape can be circular,rectangular,triangular. Circular and rectangular shapes are most widely used but you can make chassis of any desired shape,it can even be irregular depending upon the application of the robot.
Now it is important to select the material of the chassis. The selection criteria depends upon following factors:
(1) The size of the robot
(2) Budget

The larger the size of the robot the larger the weight bearing power is needed therefore for small robots wood or plastic materials are used for making the chassis.
For larger robots cast iron is used because it is cheaper and weldable(Can be easily welded other metal parts) but only problem is that it gets corroded easily,therefore it is usually painted on all sides. Another option for heavy robots is use Galvanized Iron sheets it is rust free but doesn’t weld. For light weight robots aluminum or brass sheets are used.

Selection of chassis is very important task because it acts as a housing for all other parts such as batteries,motors,sensors,wires and also gives the robot a specific shape.

HAPPY DIWALI

2007-11-07T22:23:00.000+05:30

November 9 , friday is Diwali

It is a festival of lights.
Diwali is the joyous celebration of the triumph of good over evil. It is the popular belief that the fireworks that add splendor to the festivities actually reduces the evil to ashes. The uniqueness of Diwali is that it harmonizes five varied philosophies, with each day assigned to commemorate a special thought or idea. According to a legend, which is also taken to be a history of diwali, the world celebrates Deepavali as the day the goddess stopped dancing after her battle with Mahishasura.The festival begins with Dhanteras, which is the celebration of the birth of goddess Lakshmi from the bottomless ocean. The second day is "Narak Chaturdhashi", which commemmorates the felling of Narakasura by Satyabhama with the help of Indra. This is again another view of history of diwali. Some also believe that the second day is dedicated to Bali the generous king, who returns to his kingdom amidst celebrations. The most famous legend behind the celebrations of diwali is about the prince of Ayodhya, Lord Shri Ram Chandra, his defeating Ravana and his return from exile by lighting lamps on this darkest night of the year.

How To make a Micromouse

2007-11-05T08:26:00.000+05:30

A Micromouse is a maze solving autonomous vehicle which completes the maze within minimum time possible.
A micromouse has to cross the maze in minimum time therefore to achieve that it should rotate very fast.

A micromouse has the following parts :

1.Body i.e a micromouse's mechanical structure

Chassis:

The MicroMouse chassis is the main piece that holds together all the other parts.
It must provide enough space for the microprocessor, batteries, motors and sensors. The
chassis will be built with an easy to work material like plastic or aluminum. The
advantage of using aluminum would be to draw heat away from the motors, functioning
as a built-in heat sink, but plastic may be easier and cheaper.
The chassis need to be small enough so that is able to make a full turn inside a
maze block without touching the walls.

1.Micromouse should have a Robust and compact chassis.
2. Adequate to allow easy movement inside the maze.

The size constraints imposed by the dimensions play an important role in determining the shape and orientation of finished micromouse.

2. battery or power supply

The power supply can be vary from 5-24 volts and can be of normal lead acid,dry cell or others like mercury cell and lithium ion batteries.

3. Sensors

In the final MicroMouse, two types of sensors will be used. A row of proximity
sensors overhanging the top of the maze on both sides of the MicroMouse will be used to
keep the MicroMouse centered within the cell and for environment mapping in adjacent
cells.

Distance sensors will be used to detect the length of the path in
front, and possibly to the sides of the MicroMouse. These infrared sensors are relatively
low cost, have been used effectively in several MicroMouse designs, and transmit an
output related to the distance to the nearest object within a range of 10 to 80 cm. The
sensors will have to be calibrated to function predictably for varying maze and ambient
conditions

Link to IR Sensors

4.Microcontroller

The microcontroller is both the brain and the heart of the MicroMouse. Because
the device is autonomous, the microcontroller must control everything the MicroMouse
does while in the maze. Based on the inputs it receives from the sensors it must calculate
a path for the mouse to navigate the maze. It must also control the drive motors to move
the mouse and after reaching the goal reduce the path back to the starting square to an
optimal path. The microcontroller board must be low power and the entire board must be
smaller than 25 x 25cm.

The work on the microcontroller can be broken down into different functions:
path finding, movement, sensing, and crash recovery. The path finding algorithm will
receive inputs from the sensors, calculate the best move, then output commands to the
movement functions. Movement control and sensor data gathering functions will be
established early to ensure their proper function and allow ample time for debugging. In
order to combat unforeseen skids and collisions, a variety of crash recovery methods will
have to be developed. As with any large program, the functions can be worked on
simultaneously as long as strict variable passing rules are established before work begins

5. Locomotion

A Steering type drive is used in micromouse just like in cars.
For turns Stepper motors are used,the steeper motor controls the front wheels and for forward movement DC motors are used which controls the rear wheels.

Dhananjay.v.gadre sir's great battery less dice

2007-10-28T23:18:00.000+05:30

Here is the video of a battery less dice made by one of our faculty Dhananjay.V.Gadre sir.
This circuit employs an AVR microcontroller and uses a faraday generator for generating the emf.
First the device is shaken many times and then the charge is stored in a very large capacitor.This capacitor provides the required potential to light the L.E.D's that make up the dice.
A random function generator generates a random number between 1 and 6.

Line follower

2007-10-26T11:49:00.000+05:30

What is a line follower?

A line follower is an autonomous vehicle which follows a line path(straight or curved) that maybe of any colour.

what this statement means is that the line follower will move on its own by following the line.

I have always been fascinated by autonomous vehicles like micromouse, line follower the best thing about them is that they move without any external control.

So a line follower has the following requirements:

1. It requires a Sensory Device which would help detect the line.

2. It requires a Brain to control its motion helping to follow the line.

3. It requires Locomotion which would help it ro move along the line.

4. It requires a Mechanical Structure which would support all these devices.

SENSORY DEVICE:

The most important part of the line follower is its sensory part which detects the line.
It senses the line and produces an output in the form of potential drop.
For example, an LDR(Light Dependant Resistor) has different resistances for different intensities of light,low resistance for higher intensity and vice versa.

An IR sensor is also a good option as a sensory device it also produces a potential drop across it.

for more info on IR sensor:Link to IR Sensors

or u can also use an LED

For details for how to use LED as a sensor visit this site.

Though it is important to note that more the number of sensors employed the better the line follower becomes.But programming becomes more and more complex with increasing number of sensors

U can also use a web camera to detect the line and follow it using image processing for interpretation.
But it would increase the cost of the line follower by two folds.

BRAIN:

Now the signal produced by the sensors of the line follower is to be interpreted by a logic circuit.
This logic circuit can be purely electronic(if u are good at hardware) or using Microcontrollers like AVR or 8051 which u can program using C. Through a suitable program u can control the motion of the line follower. Suppose if u get a signal logic 1 as an input and if you're following a black line then u would move right or left accordingly.

for example if u have two sensors on both sides of the line and if detect logic 1 one and logic 0 on the other sensor(then u have moved on the left of the line) so to counter u will have to move to the right side.

This way u will follow the line.

Locomotion:

Now for locomotion of the line follower we require motors.We require lightweight motors which can have low torque and medium(now for controlling high rpm motors we require an H-bridge see article for fast change of change of direction)
The motors should be d.c. motors(it is preferable not use stepper motors instead use differential mechanism for the line follower).

Mechanical Structure:

We should use a lightweight chassis as the torque of the motors is low and so they cannot support large amount of weight. The chassis can be made of lightweight plastic or wood.
And we also need a large amounts of nuts,bolts and screws to fix the motors and the electronic parts of the line follower.

Watch this great video:

It is the video of a very fast Line follower and completes three laps in very less time.
It inspires a lot.
The name of the line follower is Jet.

Fridge magnet from hard drive

2007-10-20T19:27:00.001+05:30

Earlier i had posted a video of obtaining a magnet from an old hard drive.
Link to the older post: 5 minute projects from Popsci

So i had a old damaged hard drive so i gave it a try:

This how my hard drive looks from outside

The problem was that i had a screw driver but the screws on the hard disk were hexagonal in shape
So i had to buy a TORX SET costing about 150-200 Rs

I unscrewed all the screws the result was i could see the inside of the hard disk

and ......
in the end i managed to remove a magnet for putting stuff on my fridge from the hard disk
