CONTROLLING AC APPLIANCE WITH COMPUTER
By: Utkarsh
Hello everyone, today I will share my experience of controlling AC appliance with the computers. During our last hobby club we, the children of IT club, had switched on and off the electric AC bulb (220V) with the help of our computers by accessing the local IP address of raspberry pi, which is a small single-board computer.

It was my first experience of controlling an AC appliance with the help of a Local Area Network. We can control even from a long distance with the help of internet as the internet is the net of connections, interlinked to each and every computer in the world for sharing information and other resources.

Raspberry Pi is a small computer which has 40 GPIO(s) (General Purpose Input Output) pins. Each pin is programmable and the programme is stored in the micro SD card in it. It uses python language for controlling AC appliance as python is the language which helps computers to control hardware with the help of the software.

We have programmed in such a way that when we sends 0 (input command)from our computer to raspberry pi (processing) where it is processed and then the solid state relay turn on the AC light bulb (220V) (output). And, when we send 1 to raspberry, the relay switches off the bulb. A relay is a very small device which acts like a switch for AC connections and can be used to complete or break the circuit, which in result helps us to control the AC appliances. It works on the principle of electromagnetism.

It was a very good experience for me and I think this technology should be used in home automation as well as in our school with adding photo –resistors which will help us to reduce the electric bill as well as switching on and off the electric appliances at the right time.

 Thank you.

Realizing the Penfest By: Utkarsh Hello everyone, today I will be expressing my thoughts on the Penfest which happens in or before farewell of class X or class XII. So for those, who did not knew what is it, I would like to define it for them. Penfest or Pen-festival is an event which is celebrated mainly by the classmates/ batch-mates of a class mainly before and often after board examinations as after those loaded exams, generally no one comes to school and everyone awaits for their good, better or best results for which they would be preparing since the starting of the session. On this day, all of them express their thoughts about an individual in their group on their dress, particularly 'white shirt'. This event ends in variety of ways, ranging from black and white, blue-black or sometimes VIBGYOR emotional memories historified on a peace of cloth which will be kept safely by them in their mystery boxes. Today, we had various of events, particularly, you can s

MATHEMATICS IS JUST LIKE A DOG! By: Utkarsh Hello everyone, do you know from where this correlation of the mathematics and a dog began from? Let me tell you… This correlation of the subject mathematics and an animal dog started from ‘My World of Imagination’ which is  located in my brain. I had gone into this world when lotus teacher was discussing topic of maths. From my world, a simple imagination appeared, which I will be discussing and you will be reading it. The title of the story is equivalent to the heading/title of this blog.  Characters : An indigenous street dog (देशी कुत्ता), playing the role of mathematics. ·       You, playing the role of student as well as a normal boy. Situation : ·       You have to pass a street where the ruler of the street is the a dog. ·       The dog is awaken and is staring you from his area/street/path called as ‘math road’. Fight case : If you decided to fight with the dog in an appropriate manner, yo
