Do you want to find out "What did a girl do in public ?"



Why are people so much interested to find out "What did a girl do in public ?"



Really!!!!
Do you know what are you doing in public? That too when your wife, mother, sister and daughter are on FB and in your friend list. Do they continue to think about you as ideal Son / Husband / Brother / Father?

Even your office colleagues get to know what you did publicly? Do you think whether they will be happy working with you?

After all it shows your mentality towards women.

And even if you want to forget, what you did publicly, do you think Google or FB is going to forget that (or let you and us forget that) They still remember what you did / said 4 years ago.

No doubt!!!!..... There are so many rapes happening in our country. This mentality is responsible for it.

Got my Arduino kit

I always wanted to try out microcontroller based programming. I did not have eduction in that area, due to which I was a bit skeptical about my ability to use it.

After too much searching about arduino (which did not help in deciding which board to buy), 2 months back I bought Leonardo.

As a normal programmer, wrote Hello World program. Over here it was to turn LED on and off :)

Next plan was to use it as remote, to control my Nikon D60 DSLR camera.

The main hurdle was to find out exact protocol used for IR. I found couple of posts about it. It was time to tryout actual code. Instead of purchasing another IR, removed IR LED from old lying CD drive remote control.

Here is the post which helped me .

The interval between two clicks was hardcoded. Next task is to make that interval configurable.

Part list for next step:

  1. 16 X 2 LCD display.
  2. 2 two pin switches to control interval (up & down)
  3. 1 two pin switch to start / stop 
  4. Breadboard (Forgot to purchase it with arduino board)
