NEWSLETTER [ Semester-I, 2019]

We are group of students at AIT Pune motivated towards Electronics and Product Design.
Robu IDC serves as resource centre providing practical electronics developments and
industry interface in the same. Here we work on various projects and aspire to take them at
professional and end user deployment level.

For the past one year since the establishment we are continuously sharpening our hands and
skills in the related field.

Our Objective is to group the like-minded hobbyist and motivated people for electronics
Development and explore our idea and take them to execution. We help each other by
teaching, learning and motivation each other. At present we have assembled many
resources at our workplace useful for working on projects.

Projects Undertaken –
KABBADI TIMER (COMPLETED)
Our objective was to reduce human interference in Kabbadi game. Team developed
Controller and Display System in which a single referee can keep track of all the gaming
evaluation parameters by updating the results using a wireless remote. Portable 7 segment-
based Display also bring more clarity to Players and the audience.

CURTAIN AUTOMATION (COMPLETED)

The Automation of manually controller curtain of Raman Theatre of College. We
implemented electrical solution interfacing the motor of curtain and controller by Radio
Module.

ULTRASONIC MOSQUITO REPELLENT (COMPLETED)

It contains IC NE 555 which can produces 1MHz frequency. As seen in research mosquito’s
nervous system gets affected when the subjected to ultrasonic sound having range in
40kHz. We prototyped the solution PCB containing Sounder with precise frequency.

SMART SWITCH (COMPLETED)

Used to control the operating time of device. This switch has 2 parts, one has fixed time
that is once set will complete its duration regardless of power supplied. And in second part,
when timer is set it complete its duration only when the device is powered.

WEATHER MONITORING (ON GOING)

Objective is to setup a local weather station in the campus that will tell the weather
parameter of only AIT premises and to show that data on 7 segmented Display board and
broadcasting that data via API’s for other Display, analysis and weather prediction.
We later extended to develop industry standard solution for weather logging and
prediction.

AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION PLATEFORM (ON GOING)

Mobile Research Platform suitable for precise self-navigation, has been under
Development/Deployment with MACFOS PVT LTD.

Upcoming Initiatives –
WORKSHOP ON MICROCONTROLLER (PROPOSED)
We have been working on development of our own Development Board to be used in
various project development and testing. After successful launch of Board for general use we
will conduct workshop for all FEs, SEs and TEs demonstrating the Board and Microcontroller
overview.

Figure 1: Board Front View (ACUTO v1.10)

Figure 2: Board Back View (ACUTO v1.10)

The SMD Board has been sent for manufacturing and expected to be ready in 45 Days
including Verification and mounting.

The board will be launched to buy for AITians and may also be launched on Robu.in Platform
with necessary modification.
EVENTS AT TECH-AAKRITI (PROPOSED)
To extent our vision for our fellow mates, we have planned to launch few events in college
Interbranch and Intercollege competitions with the cooperation of Robu.in. the events will
give better coverage of Robu IDC initiative to the students and will platform to new team
members.

Future Plans –
WEB PORTAL & BLOG (PROPOSED)
To organise our work and efforts at one place to have decided to make a website which will
also serve as Our Online Component Database solution enabling others to issue/Borrow
available tools/components from the lab and easy maintenance of the same.

Blog will be developed to organise all the knowledgebase and our experiment results at one
place enabling others to read and contribute towards digital learning in simple terms.
