Nearing the end of Sem 1 ....

12 weeks ..of sem 1 are nearing an end ..phew .. 12 weeks passed so fast. Was a pretty eventful day today in the labs. Starting right from the morning , Nick calls me up at 10 saying Iven wants to see the rought draft and then was pressed the panic mode button as the report was not even half way but we finally managed to finish it up before 4 PM and emailed him the report , waiting for the feedback from him ...... The email client "Melbourne University's email client " gave me the most weird warning today while I was emailing the report .. "NULL characters found in your email " whats the crap .. can someone please explain to me ..and Dej ( oh yeah ..dej is David our "cool" supervisor :P ) just replied to me that he recieved several copies of my email .. hehe ..

Also had this BBQ arranged by endeavour group for all the 4th yr EE students . Excellent stuff by them and had a nice time there , seeing how can "some" people eat so much , well realising engineers can do all sort of weird stuff. Also had this photo session in the "robocup" labs ..which we will post up soon.

I just realised we havent written any techical stuff on the blog so far , ooh yeah okk lets use some big words and scare some people with these terms . After the change in the design , that is , RC2 deciding to use the same processor board as us ( we are btw ..RC1 ) we need to write Device drivers in linux. We need device drivers to actually get the data which there Cyclone FPGA will process to the block device and so that it could be an input to the AI and can be processed further. Have absolutely no idea how to start writing them and I wish we also had something like this for our project ..


Dej is going to email Bluewaters ( another character in the RC1 story for 2007 , they are our kind and generous sponsors who gave development boards worth $5000 to us for half the price.. see how nice they are :P)

Well as exams are coming up soon so we will be a bit slow concentrating more on them but will keep posted ..till then ciao..
