It was the fifth day and the only tough one so far at CHPC. We spend the whole day with Electronics! Now, electronics wasn't my strongest area but today I understood how important the basics of Electronics are (decided to refer old books and get my basics right).
The day started with a look into the colour codes of resistors. Then, we talked on active and passive components. We were shown the various electronic components like resistors, capacitors, transistors, intergrated circuits, relays, switches, etc. We wired a few circuits on the breadboard. Quite sure I was the last to understand the circuit but I am glad that I could atleast understand it (Better late than never,hehe..). We checked the waveforms on an oscilloscope, a Digital Storage Oscilloscope(DSO). The DSO looked like a taperecorder and we were astonished hearing that it costed 60k Rupees.
We then discussed about the ideas we were asked to come up with, for the Intel Embedded Challenge 2012. We finalised on the Intelligent Speed Limiter which can change the speed limit according to the place where the vehicle is. We were asked to come up with three more ideas for the next day. Then we had the blogging session.
And regarding the article of the day, the article I came up with was about the record breaking data transfer speeds achieved by scientists recently. They could transfer data at the rate of 186 Gbps! Now, that's amazing. Further details can be found by searching the internet. Now here's a link.
