5. Me - Personal
Married. Stay in Noida
with Wife Geeta,
Daughter Upasana and
Pet Maggie.
Electronics is my hobby. I
have been using
electronics since the age
of 12 years. Bought
personal computer 31
years back before TV.
6. About Embedded
Today for each PC there are 49 small
tiny size micro controllers.
Every thing from Lamps, Fans, Chimneys
to Bikses, Cars, Traffic Lights, Elevators,
Battle Tanks, Missiles use them.
There is a huge demand for local/
regional products. This can not be
supplied by large companies/imports.
7. More about embedded
This needs three things
- Electronics
- Soft ware
- Creativity - Imaginations
8. How will it help you
This is part of your project. You need to
it.
Knowledge will be useful in which ever
field you work. You will be using
embedded devices.
Skills are required if you wish to join
core technical company.
9. Problems
New models of PC, Mobiles, Cars ... are
available every year.
Unfortunately, college syllabus stills
includes obsolete devices that I read 31
years back.
In a job with embedded company, your
boss may ask you to unlearn what ever
you know and then start learning
again.
10. Why I am here
To share about a project
and ask you to work with me
11. Joy-n-Freedom
We use electonics for luxury and
convenience.
Persons who are differently abled or
sick or old have limitations.
They and their familis are under stress.
We wish to work on creating
electronics projects for them and add
Joy-n-Freedom in their life
12.
13. What we have done
Participated in t wo events
First one at National Blind School, Delhi.
Second at Viklang Kendra, Allahabad
Interacted with persons with disability,
their family members and NGOs.
There is a need and no supplies.
Imported devices are too expensive
14.
15. Invitation
Work me with me on projects.
Work alone, as a team, in technical field,
non-technical field, just support,
feedback, share the concept, develop
website or what ever you can.........
16. Embedded Platform
Embedded devices are available from
multiple sources like Philips, Motorola,
Renesas,ST Micro, Micro chip and so ....
We can use of any of them, however
each device needs specific tools and
compilers and and some time on learning
specific details.
More than technicals it is the support
from supplier of embedded devices that
17. Our Choice
I have work on NXP (Philips), Freescale
(Motorola), Renesas(Hitachi), Microchip,
ST, Zilog, Atmel.
My choice is Freescale(Motorola) and
Atmel.
Both of them offer good developent
support. You get quick results.
18. Freescale
Freescale has some India Specific Micro
controllers.
Compilers is Code warrior 6.3
Devices are 9S08IA, 9S08IB and 9S08IC
20. Projects to be made
Interfacing landline with TV
Talking clock
Universal remote for lights, fan, t v, air
con, telephone, mobile
Audio Visual Alerts for medicines
Collection of Vital Stats and updating
records. Alerts in case of serious issue
