should i post the report after practically working on the circuit or i have to work practically after it is selected ????
ReplyDeleteSubmit us a report saying how you are going to do it, and after selection, you can start working on the circuit practically.
ReplyDeletei am from bonam venkata chalamaya engineering college A.P.
ReplyDeletei am not able to register in the site, can you tell my college roll number , it is not found any where in the site
College Roll No. refers to your Roll No. in your college.
ReplyDeletecan i use ready made logic gates, counters ,flip flops for designing the circuit???
ReplyDeleteYes. Definitely. But lower the level of IC used, there will be more room for points. By lower level I mean, by making a counter using just flip flops, you might get more points than using a direct counter IC.
ReplyDeletecan we use cpld , vhdl code...?
ReplyDeletecan we use ready made rf modules or we need to build it..?
ReplyDeleteNo programmable devices are allowed. You can use a ready made rf module, but you will have to meet the constraint of transmitting the 4-8 bit code.
ReplyDeleterfid tags are normally short ranged and too costly to built..what we should do then..
ReplyDeletehow may times can we resend the report before the last date, can we send multiple no of reports so the best is selected
ReplyDelete@rpsuman, you can go for RF Rx-Tx combination, i.e. both the circuits powered instead of having an arrangement like RFID. There is no constraint in this, you can choose whichever you like.
ReplyDelete@dhanush, you can send your report as many times as you want before the deadline, but only the LAST one sent will be considered for evaluation.
What is the deadline of abstract submission? Is it 27th sept or 4th august? What is the difference between report and TDP?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the exact date of the event?
ReplyDeleteThe deadline is 27th of August. We wanted you to submit a report only, but since we reduced the deadline, we made a template of report, which is the TDP template. You just need the fill up and submit the TDP only, by 27th of august.
ReplyDeletecan we use frequency of 418 mhz
ReplyDeletePlease refer to section 13.3 in the problem statement.
ReplyDeletecan we use a strip board instead of bread-board ??
ReplyDeleteWe would appreciate your circuits in soldered form.
ReplyDeleteshould we mail the report to scdc@shaastra.org or just submit it in shaastra site.
ReplyDeletePlease do both.
ReplyDeletecan i keep the photo of the circuit that are dne the paper as the block diagram
ReplyDeletei mean i will give the block diagrams of the circuit in the paper and include it...
ReplyDeleteis innovative module compulsory after mentioning it in the abstract.
ReplyDelete@Bharath: Yes, that will be good.
ReplyDelete@Chaitanya: Once you mention in the report, you should try to implement it in the final circuit as that might have counted for your selection into finals.
when are the results going to be announced and how are u going to intimate
ReplyDeletewhen will be the results announced ..??how can we know that we are selected
ReplyDeletevn are the results? hw w will get to knw?
