TASK 2 — API

Overview

What is an API?
API stands for Application Programming Interface. Interface can be thought of as a contract of service between two applications. This contract defines how the two communicate with each other using requests and responses.

I created a weather application by integrating an external API to understand real-time data fetching. Weather_App

Project Implementation

API Selection

• Provider: Weather_Map
• Service: Current Weather Data API
• Auth Method: API Key (90a02c5a6858e1729c5b8d361xxxxxx)

Features

• Real-Time Polling: Fetches live data from global weather stations.
• Dynamic Backgrounds: The background image and theme colors change automatically to match the weather condition (Rain, Sun, Clouds, etc.).

Key learnings

• Studied API concepts and usage
• Used a weather API to fetch live data
• Created a user interface to display results
• Parsed JSON responses and displayed weather details

TASK 11 — LED Toggle Using ESP32

Overview

The primary goal is to fabricate a functional web server capable of controlling two LEDs connected to the GPIO pins of the ESP32. This web server will be readily accessible by inputting the ESP32’s IP address into any browser within the local network. The web interface will be equipped with ON/OFF buttons, providing an intuitive means of managing the LED states.
This is just a simple example to build a web server that controls ESP32 outputs pins. here we are using LED for executing this project.

Key Activities

• Configured Arduino IDE for ESP32
• Connected LED to GPIO
• Created browser-based control interface
• Controlled LED through local network

TASK 12 — Soldering Prerequisites

Overview

• Soldering is a technique used to join electronic components by melting a filler metal (solder) that solidifies to form both a mechanical and electrical connection. It is widely used in assembling and repairing circuits, and can be seen as the small metallic joints on PCBs where components are fixed.
• In the lab, I was introduced to the basic soldering equipment including the soldering iron, solder wire, flux, soldering wick, and the stand, along with the necessary safety precautions. Under the guidance of a coordinator, I practiced basic soldering on a perf board by creating a simple LED circuit.
• I also learned how to desolder existing joints using a soldering wick and then resolder the components back in place.

TASK 14 — Karnaugh Maps & Logic Circuit

Overview

In this task, I learned how to use Karnaugh Maps to simplify Boolean expressions and design a simple burglar alarm circuit. The burglar alarm should work based on the whether the door is locked or open, whether the key is pressed or not pressed. By using these conditions on a 4-variable K-Map, I identified the simplified Boolean expression for the output. This logic was then used to design a circuit using logic gates

TASK 15 — Active Participation

Synthetic intelligence

i actively participated in a Synthetic Intelligence event where I used AI tools to design a prototype drone concept. The project focused on applying artificial intelligence for innovative design and problem-solving during the prototyping phase. My design stood out for its creativity and practical approach, and I won recognition in the event.

Bit N Build

I actively participated in the Bit N Build Hackathon, where I designed and developed a College Management System prototype. The project focused on creating an efficient digital solution to manage academic and administrative activities within a college.
