Hi ….

My name is Jeffrey (22),  a freelance  Electronics Engineer from Thrissur, Kerala.  I’m a Free Software and an Open Hardware enthusiast.

This is my personal blog where I would like to post my daily life experiences. Some may feel it as an pure technical blog. Ya it is… But only to some extent. Most of the technical post you see here will be the projects that I have done. I like sharing my technical experiences more…

    Hello Jeffrey,

    Remember me ? I’m Sreejith of CSE senior batch.

    Good to see you in the mood of innovation and experiments. Are there any students left in JECC who are interested in FOSS ?

    This is a nice blog you are maintaining. Congratulations….

    Are you (now) a student of Pramode sir ? He always says about the JECC batch but have’nt heard of you :)

    What’s your main project ?

    Ya I remember you. Hope you are going fine. I am not actually his student i.e I am not going for any classes over there. I know him. We are in the FSUG Thrissur group. Also I consult him if there is any doubts.

    I dont think there are any students who loves GNU/Linux in Jyothi Engineering College. There are some students from ECE who are my juniors interested in FOSS. No one fron CSE !!!!

    Any way pramode sir has a good impression on JECC.

    Keep updating your blog. I am a regular reader.

    What are you doing now?

    Hello,
    I am a student of Govt. Engineering College, Trichur. I have to do a mini project for my sixth semester. You might be knowing these stuffs right. I was planning to make a mp3 player fm transmitter. When i searched for it on net, I came through your blog regarding a USB player you bought from a Shop in Thrissur. It would be Great help if you give me the details of that shop. Quite frankly I would also ask you to suggest me a few topics for my project work.

    Thanking You.

    @Fritze George :
    In thrissur there is a road named POST OFFICE ROAD. There are several shops over there who sells these kits. You can buy from there.

    @LABEEB:
    You have a good forum named as avr freaks. Google that term to find more. No IDE’s are available in my knowledge. We have avr gcc for compiling. For more details check

    Hi Jeffrey, send me ur project details abt SLOS

    Hi,

    I am from Bangalore. I was working on Daisy mp3 player but couldn’t find:

    1. PIC18F45j10-I/P (40 pin)
    2. VS1011E-S

    Then I came across your blog and was quite amazed by the USB mp3 Board. I had been to Modern Electronics,SP Road, Bangalore today. I got the same kit for Rs. 170.

    Please send me a detailed connection diagram. (I am a novice)

    I somehow managed to connect. The problem is that the output sound quality is not good when I use headphones. But when connected to a woofer, the sound is just soooooo fantastic and so much clear. May be I should make use of the transistor given and also a few capacitors and resistors so that the sound is amplified and filtered appropriately. Where do I connect the transistor and capacitors? I am waiting for your reply. Please reply back.

    Also let me know about the availability of the the two components mentioned above in India.(In case you know)

    Thanks!
