1second long Audio Data plays from from ckt! :-) And guess wat! I walked 10 km today in rain! :-)

Ah! My day started with my mom telling me to get some work done in market.. So made plan to meet one of my old friend as well! Who! I met him today after around 5 years! But as I left from his house, it started raining! With such a beautiful whether, how could I have not enjoyed it! Its fun to get wet in rain! :-) Enjoyed that after sooo many years! I walked back home around 8-10 km away in rain! Felt awesome! :-) Met two of my school friends on the way as well! And samosa and lassi on the way were too delicious! Yummy! :-)

But, throughout, mind was still in the circuit and the concept and thinkng why I was getting error and why I was not able to hear a piece of music stored in the MCU. So set out to work soon after reaching home after a 1:30-2 hour walk! :-)
And yipieee, after few adjustments, it worked! Though it was just a 1 second clip of a telephone bell ringing and extended by putting it in loop, yet the feeling of its first running was gr8! Adjusted some other parameters and worked out to interrelate them and find the optimum...

So, things do seem to be moving on the right track! :-) Now, will be working on streaming a complete song from PC to the circuit and then decode and play it Live.

Back to Home Sweet Home!

well, well.. so its been a looooong time since I posted here..
first jst a small recap of what all has been going on since past so many days... I'm back to my home sweet home after spending about a month at IIT-K. So, now, I'll be continuing the project now from my home town.. Anurag has also gone to his hometown for some days... Ah.. its been so long since he last spent time with his parents! Anyway, have a great time there dude!

Meanwhile, I set back to the project just the next day when I returned from Kanpur. Components from US have also come.. (But, damn... I had to pay Rs 1200 of Import Tax!)..
Now, whats dat tax for! I don't even earn yet!!!

But, it was great to have the components, and starting work over them.. And using these componets require lots of care as well! So, expensive, and so less in number as well.. No scope to fry any either! ;-p

Anyhow, I set out to work, and after 3-4 days of continous efforts, Ive Finally been able to hear a tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Tone! lolzzzz.... Its a simple Sine tone though of around 5500Hz frequency, yet its seems so wonderful to hear it! I'd been fiddling with the circuit and hardware and software since past 3-4 days... have been reading the datasheets over n over again... going through the forums, and sites, and tutorials, and finally!!! Yippieeee!!!!!

But, the coming days will see lots more challenges... But looking forward eagerly! Now next job in queue with this hardware is to play a song being streamed from PC.... Hopefully this should be done in another few days... :-) But this requires overcoming lots of complexities.. But, I will! :-)
