How to find the "BEST JOB"?

Dear All

Today I'm going to share with you something which even i dint know some hours ago.
Mr. Arshad told me that and it has transformed my entire thinking. This is a secret to find the BEST JOB for your career:

Work harder and harder and pray to your Creator, Allah, The Almighty. Pray with full concentration. If your prayers get fulfilled in the way you want, then be happy. But if not, then instead of getting sad, be more happy. Because this time Allah has something more better for you than you ever thought of.

If we think upon the above lines and settle them in our minds, we would probably never feel disheartened. Its all about having firm belief upon the One who has created all of us. He knows best what is best for us. We humans have very limited sight. We just see things which are present in front of us. We confine ourselves. But Allah is the one Who has numerous opportunities for us. He can give us our meals from the ways which we even cant think for. Because His sight is not limited.

So my dear friends, you should never ever feel down in your life. Have firm belief upon Allah. He is the one who loves us more than the love of 70 mothers. Then how can we even think that He doesn't want our betterment. He wants our betterment every time. Its all about to have faith and confidence upon His decisions.

Mass Effect Save Fix and Galaxy Map Fix Patch

Labels: ,

Im a strong supporter of this view point that Games improves mental activity and sharpens your mind a lot. And for an engineer, these games can proved to be highly beneficial. They are a great source of information and relaxation.

Mass Effect is a title from Bioware. This game proved to be the BEST RPG of the YEAR 2007. Its basically a space titled so you keep guessing whats going to be the next. There is a save problem in the original game which doesnt allow you to save at some stages making your whole progress down. Similarly some blacking issues with the galaxy map stops you from moving forward. So here is the patch fixing all these problems. I have tried it myself. Still playing Mass Effect. I love this game really.

Phone Call Switching System(PCSS)

Labels: ,


Phone Call Switching System(PCSS) is a project that i made with my group in my second year. This project enables you to control different devices through telephone. You can switch them on and off using this project. I know that this idea is quite an old one but for me the successful aspect of this project is this that we made it simpler than others, it really works and it is worth making as well for a second year students. One more point about this project is this that one can do quite many modifications in this project according to your caliber. It contains quite a bit of LDST and analog electronics so it gives students a good exposure to these fields. If any of you wants to download the project report in order to understand its working, you can download here:




CMPS-03: Digital compass for Robotic Navigation

Labels: , ,

CMPS-03 is an electronic compass built specifically for Robots navigation. It detects the earth's magnetic field to determine directions. It works on 5V, 15mA supply. Its output can be taken in two ways:

1) By a PWM Pulse:
In this method it outputs a pulse whose width varies from 1ms(0 degree) to
36.99ms(359.9 degree). One can connect it directly to a microcontroller and set the micrcontroller to measure the width of the pulse.

2) By I2C protocol
You can also get the output through I2C prtocol. You just have to connect its SDA and SCL pins with the respective pins of your controller and here you go.

N.B. If you are not using I2C then donot forget to pull high SDA and SCL pins of the compass to 5V.

You can get the complete documentation about this wonderful invention here.
