Electronics FAQ

Look up biographies of any of the famous scientists or engineers and you will invariably have come across a common theme: their dads made sure that had access to an encyclopedia. Having interacted with many accomplished academicians, scientists and engineers myself, I find this to be the trend even to this modern day: if the environment is conducive, people carry their dreams from childhood to adulthood and try their best to realize it. The dream imparts meaning to their lives, fuels them ahead and gives them something to believe it. And it is essential that you acquire this dream as early as possible in your life. I became an electronics engineer because I wanted to. I am not yet an expert and only time will tell how good I become at my job. But I love the feeling that you get when you get to do the things that you always wanted to do. I realized that one of the ways I can help kids achieve the same feeling later on in their lives is to help t...

Here, are some pics of our Laboratory. This lab is used by the Research Center and Design Services. Notice how well organized the lab is - I know, I am actually trying to show off here :P

LARE & UC Micro Systems had put up a stall at Elecrama 2010 (20th to 24th January). We got a fantastic response from all kinds of visitors - professionals and students alike. (Being one of the handful few of electronics based company in a large exhibition full of electrical companies did help! :) ) Here are a few pics from the event:

We already have a nice sweet logo for LARE. (See the banner above) But as a company whose major business lies in designing electronics, a simple logo is very desirable. The aim is that the logo's design should lend itself to convenient reproduction via any of the huge variety of processes. For example, the fabrication process for Printed Circuit Boards requires that the logo should be made of monochromatic line art. Here are a few trials by my "confederate in crazy/creative works" towards designing an alternative logo for LARE. Have to admit, trying out various designs for a logo is good fun! Here is a scan of a PCB Panel during when we were trying out various designs for UNIBlocks: Here is a scan of a small PCB with LARE logo on it. The logo has come out sad isn't it!

We like to do things differently at LARE - here you can see us working together putting version stickers on lots of ATmega8s for some project that we just completed. It's a "building the team spirit" activity - rather than playing games at some corporate picnic (corporate is too big a word for our - as yet a small organization!), we all take a break every now and then and spend time together on these little joys of life! (there were songs playing in the back ground!!) This reminds me of my childhood.. used to love all those stickers.. In fact I still love stickers very much, both my home & my office desktop CPU Cabinets are covered with them!! (Deeksha, thank you for the stickers!)   Office Desktop      Home Desktop     

Using macros to handle individual or groups of bit in SFRs easily: Barr Code: Binary Literals in C CRC: CRC Implementation Code in C by Michael Barr Will be updated as and when I come across new articles.

Hi, I am Anurag Chugh. I work at LARE LARE is an Indian company working in the field of embedded electronics. Our website is located at www.lare.in . Here is a short description of what we do: UC Micro Systems ( www.ucmicrosys.com ) LARE is a "Services Only" Company and is a subsidiary of UC Micro Systems (www.ucmicrosys.com). UC Micro Systems manufactures and sells various products - mostly development tools for electronics engineers involved in developing embedded systems. The UNIPro Universal Programmers are the most popular product series sold by UC Micro Systems in India. LARE Learning Center LARE provides corporate and academic training solutions in the field of electronics. We do so in two ways: either by carrying out courses at out Learning Centers or at the client's venue. Our first "Learning Center" was inaugurated in April 2009 at Belapur, New Mumbai, India. We have a lot of resources here , which the students can...
