Travle experience this Diwali

An interesting Diwali experience this time, I had delayed going to home this time in order to finish up with college asssignments and enjoy the Diwali with no worries. So, I was on campus till 29th Oct 2016.

I was travelling to Ajmer from Pilani via Jaipur. This was to be the fastest route to Ajmer. Started from Pilani at 6:00 am, reached Jaipur at 11:00 am, left for Ajmer at 11:15 am and reached Ajmer at 2:00 pm.

Lunch was already planned at my cousin's in-laws in Ajmer. Had lunch and slept for a while before beginning the next part of the journey. I had planned to reach Jodhpur by dinner time i.e. between 9pm - 10pm so I had booked a special Volvo bus frm Ajmer - Jodhpur.

Unfortunately, the Volvo broke down just outside Ajmer and delayed my journey for about one and half hour. I reached home late in the night at 1:00 am, completing my journey that started at 6 in the morning, with only 4 hours of layover in between at Ajmer.

The return journey was too an intresting one from Pisagan to Pilani. There was bus direct form Ajmer to Pilani at 4:00 pm, via Sikar, reaching Pilani at 10:10 pm; I had to get my phone repaired so my mind kept Jaipur in mind and went for the route via Ajmer and Jaipur.

The journey started from Pisagan (11:15 am) to Ajmer (12:40 pm ) to Jaipur ( 4:15 pm ) to Pilani ( 10:00 pm). My phone battery lasted for complete journey, to achieve this I had to disable one SIM card and turn off mobile data for most of the journey.

Never had I imagined that I was capable of such hectic journey but somehow I survived.

Attendance Management System - An IOT approach

In the course of Software for Embedded Systems, we chose to implement Attendance Management System using embedded devices like RFID Reader, GSM Module and Raspberry Pi as our development board. Even before entering into BITS Pilani, I had wished to work with Raspberry Pi. It always intrigued me on how to work with these embedded devices. Didn't get enough encouragement while in the job to carry out experiments of my own. Coming back to the project, the components used for developing the systems are as follows : Hardware Raspberry Pi GSM Module RFID Reader LED Screen Software Django Web Framework MySQL Database (in production) SQLite Database (in development) Bootstrap 3 Frontend Framework The happy path of the system was as below : Each student is given a RFID card Student exists in our software along with the mapping of RFID card number with the student ID Student taps the card in each class to mark his presence in the class System reads the unique nu...
