First Wings

Its been a pretty slow week in terms of meaningful progress on the project. A few tough assignments during the week and a couple of tests meant I was pretty distracted by my studies and my Arduinos still haven’t arrived which is depressing. I contacted the seller and he’s resending Read more…

Learning to fly

The design of a quad-copter has been around for a very long time, but during the 20th Century, most development of quad-rotor devices were stalled due to the difficulty of controlling four independent rotors. Indeed it is impossible to do so without electronic assistance, therefore since the boom in popularity Read more…

Swarm Robotics: Methodology

This week, I was finally able to complete all the documentation from UCSI University, and it is official that I will be doing my project on the title I described so roughly last week. This week, I spent some time mulling over many possible ways to effectively tackle the demands Read more…

A new adventure

Ever since starting my degree in Mechatronic Engineering, the one thought that has kept me awake at nights was my Final Year Project. Unlike many of my peers, I always believed that your Final Year Project defines who you are as an engineer and your capabilities as well as ambition. Read more…

Minor Modifications

The week was spent trying to look for ways to optimize the file upload time to suit the required objective having made some strides on that path during the previous week. Apart from that, a few modifications were made to the MBR editing function. MBR Partition informations It is important Read more…

Full speed SD card reading

The week was spent in continuing the ground work done on the Synchronous USART to optimize the Reading process which will subsequently program the FPGA. After solving the problem faced in the week before, time was spent in trying to get the SD card to read the bitstream data as Read more…

Continuing Optimization

The optimization of the firmware continued with the focus being on the SD card reading stack. A look into the USART’s synchronous mode functionality was also taken to try and understand how that works. There was also a lot of time spent trying to set up scenarios to break the Read more…
