Being a Sunday, the class started only at 10 o'clock. When we came, little did we know that today was going to be a very hectic one. When we reached class, there was Mahesh Sir with a paper in his hand. A peek at the paper and we knew we were going to have an assignment today.
There were 8 questions in all, 4 each from Programming and Electronics. We were asked to divide ourselves into 4 groups of 2 members each and each group had to select 2 questions, one each from Electronics and Programming. My teammate was Vivek. We selected our questions and after some time came to know that our Programming question was already selected by another group. So, we started to do the only question left out.
The Programming question we got was to convert an image to greyscale using the for-loop and also by vector implementation and compare both. Our Electronics question was to toggle a DC motor ON and OFF using a push button switch. We were given 3 hours for this and a computer for Internet access. As soon as the computer booted up, we started storming Google with searches. Only God and Google can say how many searches we did today.
Not finding any solutions for the Programming question on the Internet, we decided to do it ourselves and by noon we were able to do it. The Electronics question was the one that took us more time. As we were shown how to operate the DC motor using a push button switch the previous day, we wired it quickly and decided to modify it according to our need. After a lot of searches, we decided to use IC 7476 to make it work. We wired up the circuit but were disappointed that it didn't work out.
Mahesh Sir then arrived and asked us to rate our team by ourselves. We rated us 90 for our Programming question and 60 for the Electronics one. Dunno why we were asked to do it. Then, he talked about what was coming for us in the following days.
And at last, we had the blogging session.
