Emerging Technologies in Practice

SERVO MOTOR : In this week, we were introduced to servo motor. We turned it back and forth across 180 degrees by using Arduino tools and following the instructions of our teacher Mr. Carl James. It was very fun because I was controlling hardware using software.                                                      Let me give you a short brief on Servo motor. S ervo motors have three wires : Power, Ground, and Signal. The power wire is typically red, and should be connected to positive pole of your power source. The ground wire is typically black or brown and should be connected to the negative pole of your power source.  The signal pin is typically yellow or orange and should be connected to PWM pin on the board and the pin number is 9. The below pictures shows, how I used my Servo Motor with my Arduino kits.   This is the code that I used...

  Standards and MIDI Functions : During this week, we utilized a MIDI controller alongside Synth Edit software to regulate the tempo of musical notes. We programmed in C++ with a baud rate of 31250. Each potentiometer corresponded to a tempo variable, allowing us to adjust the note sound by manipulating them. The accompanying images provide a rudimentary understanding of the process.     The session also addressed a crucial facet of technology: standards. We explored various kinds, such as European, British, and MiDi standards, and delved into the importance of procedures and Request for Comments (RFCs). We discovered that standards are vital for advancement and engineering since they ensure compatibility, interoperability, and safety. They serve as a universal language that fosters cooperation, even among rivals, and are essential for the worldwide spread of technology. This lecture was a fusion of technology, music, and standards, demonstrating the seamless integration...

Controlling the micro processor using Arduino compiler :   On week 3 we were introduced to Micro Processor and the kits were distributed to all students. We had to connect the micro processor to the pc and open the Arduino compiler to run the codes. First program was all about the blinking of the light sensor in the Arduino Uno. We controlled the speed of the blinking in the Arduino Uno. First we run the example in the Arduino and watched the light and observed how fast it was blinking then we modified the code and we increased the blinking speed of the light. In the picture we can see the speed is increasing because we modified the sensor value in the code. This week was the introduction of the kits and the program to control the kits.

The lab 1's purpose was to give some time to students to play with the tools like Photoshop that they will need to complete their assignments like adding images and videos in their blogs or websites or presentations. Picture edit : I have chosen a random picture from the internet  and edited the  picture by adding filter in it.  Our teacher told us to do this by ourselves, watching YouTube tutorials or using online resources, so that we can explore the available materials and learn how to utilize them. This way, he will have an idea of our knowledge level in completing these tasks. This was the main purpose of this assignment Then I selected another picture and used the photoshop to edit the colour of the eyes of the person to green and this eye colour editing was very popular in the film named The Twilight. Copyright : As   IT student we should be very careful about Copyright. We can't take anything from internet and use it. Our teacher Mr. Carl explained ...
