The Best of What's Around (Until 2019)

Hello everyone!

This page (Part 1 of 3) is an easy solution to share "The Best of" pictures I have captured over the years.

Cologne along the Rhine

In trying to curate all the photos, I realized that it might be better to break this singular page into multiple parts, probably around 3 or more, just to make it more digestible. This first page is a collection of my favorites until 2019, which includes photos up to my first visit to Europe.

Here is part 2



This is among the first photo I took with a proper camera. 
EXIF data shows the date of December 2013, so that is almost 10 years ago.



When I got my first additional lens, EF-S 55-250mm IS II


Backyard Peacock, is somehow my most famous(?) photo as per Google


Around 2015 is when I started messing about with Lightroom and photo editing properly

My first accidental Milkyway shot. I had only the kit lens and no Tripod, and I had this view only from a closed window. Heavily processed, obviously.

Farmers Market, Chandigarh. For some reason, my phone decided to streak all the lights. It looks nice.

Jewel of the Summertime - (2022 edition)

I don't even know where or how to start the post this time. So I'll just start off with a bit of news that proves we are being governed by idiots, and it's not just annoying, it is dangerous. https://www.cnet.com/news/privacy/india-orders-vpn-companies-to-collect-and-hand-over-user-data/ And, it's not just India. Apparently, in an effort to block TikTok, the US is also rolling out a bill that is way overpowered and straight-up ill-conceived for a neutral internet. https://www.vice.com/en/article/4a3ddb/restrict-act-insanely-broad-ban-tiktok-vpns Moving on... For the people who are waiting for an update on the braiding robot thing, I would have to, unfortunately, disappoint you again, for now at least, as I am still not 100% sure what I can publish into the public domain without affecting the IP / critical rights of the project. But, once I am certain I have the required clearance, then I would definitely like to share the work that has gone into it. If nothing else, it

Dead Wishes of The Optimist

So... For once in a millennium, Blogger will be graced with a post by yours truly within the promised time frame in the last post. That really does happen very rarely. Almost as rare as the lone Russian guy/girl who stumbled upon this blog at the exact moment I chose to call Putin a "pimmel". At least I hope that you have access to an open internet with multiple sources of verified news, so you are at the very least aware of what is happening and why the situation is critical. Enough jibber-jabber. This post would also be more of an expressionist kind of deal rather than a tutorial or science thing. When I was traveling during the Omicron wave to India in December, I had thought I would try to vlog Casey Nesitat's style. In retrospect that was too ambitious of a goal. So the only thing that I ended up documenting was the train journey from Delhi railway station to Chandigarh, and even that was not exactly easy because of the timing situation with the flight and the train.

Servomotor Serendipity - Teil Zwei

 I was hoping to write the second part of the servo motor control part sooner... But you know how life and 2020, in general, have been. I don't really have anything new to say about the state of the world. It's still terrible, and only getting worse. Anyhow. Let's start with the servo stuff. In the last post, I tried to explain what a general servo is, and how the sermovotor I have differed from the ones you can buy from general hobby electronics shop.  TLDR Continous rotation High speed (up to 7000 RPM) Precise control - 0.1 Degrees accurate in rotation Inbuild microcontroller with Digital and Analog I/O Inbuilt temperature sensor based protection systes for overheating Daisy chaining with each motor having its own program stored inside So basically its in a different league. Which is cool and all, but how do you ultimately use something like this? Keep in mind this post and the previous one infact are specific to the Faulhaber motor I have. I would like to believe that si
