In this project, we try to use a distributed HPC algorithm to enhance timetable scheduling. Since efficiently distributing events across a timetable is an important part of the world to manage daily tasks, this project is crucial for the future of efficient timetable allocation. With the use of HPC, the efficiency is increased.
Project Lihini is a project aiming towards building an opensource, end to end weather monitoring platform. The aim is to build a weather monitoring platform that sources data from volunteers & makes the data available publicly. Everything from hardware to software is intended to be opensource.
Prometheus 2.0 is the next generation of Prometheus Fire Alarm System; the future of household safety & monitoring devices. Developed on the nRF7002 platform, it brings all the features of v1.0 to the nRF platform along with additional features made possible by the nRF platform.
Project Bionics intends to build a bio inspired robot that can mimic the nature of animals. The design, based on the 3D models shared by KILIC on PCBWay, can mimic the movement of a spider by using servos. The complete system is controlled by a NodeMCU. The robot can move to the front, back & can rotate to the left & right.
The main problem identified is the inefficiency of parking implementations. Metroparking is a next level smart parking system that automates the process of reserving, paying & managing parking services in urban parking providers. It is an IoT based project that uses electronics, autonomous & cloud technologies to create a fully automated system to handle parking.
The idea of this project is to build a system that uses the existing lights to detect the location of a user within an indoor environment. For this, we can use Visible Light Communication (VLC) technology. The basic concept is to have four LEDs transmitting their IDs one after the other at fixed intervals. The reciever can recieve the IDs & identify how the intensity differs.

A Beowulf cluster is a type of High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster that is designed to perform parallel computations on large data sets or complex computational problems. It is named after the legendary warrior Beowulf, who is known for his strength & ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.
The main feature of a Beowulf cluster is that it is created by using all the open-source resources available. Beowulf clusters are typically built using commodity hardware components: such as standard x86-based processors, Ethernet switches, & network interface cards.

Before getting too carried away with the project, I wanted to do a bit of research on the platform that I'm dealing with. So I did a bit of research on the nRF development kits & the Nordic SoCs. The results I found were interesting & I wanted to share them.
The first is about nRF. I managed to get the nRF development environment up & running which I consider to be a huge milestone. The process was quite simple & required little to no effort. I simply followed the tutorial provided by Nordic themselves.

We’re pleased to announce Project Lihini, an open-source weather monitoring platform. Project Lihini aims to build an open-source, end-to-end weather monitoring platform. The aim is to create a weather monitoring platform that sources data from volunteers & makes the data available publicly. Everything from hardware to software is intended to be open source. This includes the hardware designs, firmware & web front-end & back-end.
The first commit is made to the Data Lihini Firmware repository, which marks the beginning of the public presence of this project. This repository contains the monitoring device's firmware that monitors, processes, & sends data to the online platform.
