Here's a list of projects I have collaborated on with Prof. Dhananjay V. Gadre (In chronological order): AVR Workshop at VESIT (1 to 5 September 2005, VESIT, Mumbai) Helped organize/manage. Report and photos here . Multi Utility Sensor Network (December 2005 to March 2006, VESIT, Mumbai) During the AVR workshop DVG suggested us to clone the audience poll voting pad from the "Who wants to be a millionaire?" TV game show using a wired multi-drop network. It was also our final project at VESIT. Project synopsis: Designed and successfully implemented a wired sensor network capable of sensing and controlling physical parameters involved in any kind of process control. The project involved connecting Atmel’s AVR Microcontrollers over the RS485 bus in a multi-drop configuration. The microcontrollers were programmed in embedded C and the front-end was created using Java. The project was selected to be displayed in the Student’s Pavilion at Elecrama 2006 held in Mumbai by IEEMA.
