Day three of my ITP...I slept at 0430h and woke up at 0720h. I thought I was late for ITP!!!Haha...As usual, when I entered the room, Jovi was already sat down there and playing FaceBook...LOL...After that, the rest were coming one by one. We went for breakfast later on.
After we came back, we continued our work on the board. While Jing Rui was doing the board, I read through some programming stuff, start thinking how to write the programme out. It's so hard man..Suddenly, there were two other students came into the lab. They lost their ITP as the company suddenly decided not to hire any ITP students. So they are doing ITP like us lor. But, of course, different things...TSO asked them go and clean the grass around the hangar...lol..So bad sia...Sometimes, we will crap with TSO, Don...haha....
We went out to Clementi to have our lunch. We had lunch at Long John Silver. There were very crowded. Then there were an incosiderate couple who occupied a six-seat table. Haiz...We got no choice, but sat separately... But luckily, we managed to get a six-seat table...We went back at around 1430h...
When we reached school, we entered the lab...There were so many secondary school students in the lab. So, we went up to T822 to borrow the MPLAB compiler. After that, we helped TSO to teach those secondary students how to solder the compoent on the circuit board. And, they all sabo me, made me talk to the studetns...Baskets!!!LOL...
We teach them how to solder, read the value of resistors, determine the cathode and annode of LED as well as capacitor. LOL...Haha...It's quite fun...After that, Mr. Denny Lee wanted me to help the team to deliver the USB cable to squash court. Then I was there to see the test flight...It's so cool!!!First time see it fly!!!haha....
After that, PJ said wanna come to see the test flight, but I had leave the place...So I turned back to look for her...I was walking towards FC5 and noticed a girl walking towards the direction to me...I recognised her by one glance...Haha...I got GOOD MEMORY!!!As usual, I 'scanned' her...It's very easy to do that for certain reason..Hohoho...
After that, I had a tea break with her. I bought her a green apple juice...And I got my favourite - kiwi juice for myself ^^V!!! We chit chat for a while...And, i realised something...She likes to answer questions!!! Then I was like reporter sia...muahaha...
I asked her to follow me to go to T802 instead of sitting alone at foodcourt. But, I felt bad because I was like neglecting her...Gomen nasai...We discussed how to protect the quadrocopter. She said she went off first...But I couldn't send her off...WARUI NA!!!
Anyway, quote for the day, "That's the different form top 30% and therest..." from Mr. Denny Lee...haha...We went to test flight again...It's so fascinating!!! It motivates me more in this project...haha...
Okay la...Now have to think of the progrmming part....haiz....
i will always miss you*

After the explanation from Melvin, I now had a clearer picture of what I am doing... He explained to us about the radio control system and PPM stream (pulse train). We observed t he waveform of the PPM stream from the oscillator. Cool!!! I am now getting more interested in this project. Although it's hard, I think I have to put in more effort in it...hehe...
After that, Jing Rui designed the board...Then I sat there and read through some datasheet...haha...so evil, right??

Today is the first day of my ITP in SP. I reached T802 at 0830h sharp (Luckily never late on the first day^^V). I saw Jovi and Jingrui who came in later on. After that, I realised that my another friend, Alastair, oso in the same ITP as me.
After everyone was settled down, Mr. Denny Lee, as our liaison officer, briefed us on what we are going to do in these 7 weeks. Basically, we are learning how to build an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The toughest part of this is the programming. I thought I can forget the things related to Servo, MCT and programming, but it comes out again....We are given the first assignment which have to be finished by the end of this week. The assignment is to vary the speed of rotor by using pulse-width modulation(PWM) techniques. Mr. Lee also showed some websites which are useful to us in this assignment as well as our ITP.
After briefing, we went to see the available facilities that we can use during our ITP. Then we went back to T802 to start doing our assignment. First, we did some researches on pulse-width modulation. Then we went for lunch at McDonald. Then we went back continue our work. After that, we get the PWM circuit from seniors. So we ordered the devices we need from EEE online store as well as the company. So, before leaving for buying some devices at Sim Lim Tower, we had a short meeting on what we are going to do for tomorrow.
After that, Alastair, Hanif, Jovi and I went to Sim Lim Tower. But Alastair needed to meet his girlfriend at KK hospital, so only three of us went to buy the devices. we bought some crystals, capacitor and driver IC Chips. After buying the stuff, we all went home respectively.
I had dinner with my parents and after that, we watched TV. But I was too tired, so I dozed off....
