Repository is for my GSoC-2017 github page http://jithinbp.github.io
For GSoC-17, I worked on several aspects of the Pocket Science Lab Project:
- Firmware development of the PSLab : Code for PIC24E processor written with MPLab IDE and compiled with XC16 compiler.
- Hardware design : Made with KiCAD
- Desktop Applications : My contributions were towards documenting the various apps and using Jekyll to render markdown files via templates . I cross checked a range of experiments in order to create screenshots, made several schematics, and fixed bugs in a few. I also added applications to calibrate the pslab using ADS1115 16-bit ADC module
- Python Communication Library : Made bug fixes in capture calls. Helped the android team to understand the various function calls during the porting process. Added support for several new add-on modules such as ADS1115, SX1278 LoRa module, MPU925x 10-DOF IMU sensor among others.
- remote laboratory : Made a framework for accessing the PSLab remotely. This involves a backend designed with python flask, and a webapp made with ember-cli. A demo of the webapp hosted on Surge.sh, and the backend is hosted on Heroku
A list of blog posts I wrote elaborating my journey :
- The Pocket Science Lab: Who Needs it, and Why
- Understanding PN Junctions with the Pocket Science Lab
- Calibrating the PSLab’s Analog Features for Maximum Accuracy
- Characteristization of Transistors Using PSLab
- Designing a remote access framework with PSLab
- Creating backend API methods suing Python Flask
- Execute python function calls remotely
- Deploying the API server and Webapp to separate domains automaticaly
- Creating better structured apps from user submitted scripts
- Adding a graph component to the frontend
- The PSLab project is inspired from ExpEYES http://expeyes.in
- FOSSASIA is supporting development and promotion of ExpEYES project since 2014 mainly through Google Summer of Code
