I realize with each thoughts and projects I got myself into that more and more I wish I could do nothing turns into reality. Here are my 4 projects: The gate opening project.   Energy meter   Solar Panel and Solar water heater projects   Home Waste management Project execution plan I do not have anything like this. So fuck all conviction, I am going to execute this along with my other aims. Aims: Build a better and cleaner body Get things with social interaction right Buy a good phone and sell all the waste I have. Now along with this,   I would like to get settled with PCB design or    Embedded Engineering (Programming or hardware) – Prefer the later more… My execution steps and plan I will quit my job and get back the Cheque. Attend all the interviews and weigh my options to get one job. Next my daily routine rights – So I am going to just start just like that. First ste...

The cost has to be low. It should off it at everyday in the morning 6:15am and On it 6:30pm. Display the status of the following, Power(Red) Gate Light Status(Green) Fault(Orange) Now how to display this : 1. LCD on the unit attached to gate outside the home. 2. LCD on the unit attached to gate inside the home. 3. LED Turn On/Off. Selected : LED Turn On or OFF Redundancy : Has to be redundant from the effect of shading. Selection: RTC based circuit to determine to time to shut down or start up.

I wanted to do this to keep my skills and brain sharp. And no its not that hard a project but compared to my present job this is like a nobel prize wining affair. Haha..Lets move on. I am trying to build a timer that will switch on the gate lights on at night and off in the morning. I am quite sure none of you will have interest in my project. Even then I planning to name project in a grand manner(atleast in my head) to avoid future paper work and version control problems. So coming to naming, SL001 - Simple Control - For Light - Sophistication Level - Cost Level - Version number Sophistication Level 0 - Low 1 - Medium 2 - High Cost Level 0 - Cheap - No lifetime expectancy - Redundancy very low better to be replaced - No accuracy 1 - Medium - No life expectancy - Redundancy Nil  - Expects Accuracy 2 - High - Life expectancy High - High Redundancy - Expects Accuracy Current Design Goal : A properly working product to turn the light on and of on the gate at re...

1.I have to get my priorities in order Still not done. I will have to decide between a silent partner or a just a investor at N H A. 2. I have to get and set my life bit orderly I am going to write it down here cause it is helping me reflect on myself in a timeline. 3.I have to learn PCB I am going to learn PCB design and I want to get a job in power electronics. 4.I have to learn Power Electronics Design Same as above I am trying to learn PCB design and Power Electronics. 5.I have to learn control system by lbits I am not getting into this mess right now. Either I will take help or I will learn as time goes by. 6.I have to watch few TV shows which I wanted to since some time I want to watch TV show such as Last man standing from now on. And inbetween home improvement. 7. Have to find a new TV show to follow. Delete sleepy hollow and other one with that new Zealand actress. 8.Learn few software    a)One note I am not going to use one note in...

Next step in the process. Create a presentation with the requirements to be completed to be send to Power electronics circuit Designer. On it now.   So will get back after any significant task is done.

Have to find a new TV show to follow. 8.Learn few software    a)One note    b)DesignSpark PCB    c)MATLAB(more)    d)ETAP if possible    e)Programming in MPLAB,WinAVR and Keil     f)Learn to use openwriter more     h)Find and use a mind mapping software from now on. 9.Have to finish hearing the LAW OF SUCCESS Faster. 10.Find a balance in communication and keeping relationship with other people.

I have been out of the power electronics design for at least a year cause of me spending time in the particular robotics based project which I cannot disclose details of in public. The said project is almost getting over and now only the power part is left as the controllers designed. Hence I thought I will use this opportunity to let myself come back again into the power electronics designing. So I start with the drive circuit for any MOSFET. I am in the learning phase but will have to finish and design the part within a week. Hence what I provide may be something wrongly understood or perhaps misinterpreted.So if you come across anything like that please do tell me as  comments and that would help me so much. I am using the ST electronics Application note for gate circuits design for MOSFET/IGBT.I will provide the link to the document at the end of post. Update 1 But as I started reading the document started on the highly intelligent description of the mosfet inner work...
