Hacking into the Indian Education System - On the Stepping Stone - Quora. In the last several weeks, in a time wedged awkwardly between the end of my college finals and my summer internship, I've been exposed to some information that left me quite flabbergasted.

Hacking into the Indian Education System - On the Stepping Stone - Quora

It started about a month ago. It was a very important day in the lives of two of my juniors and close friends, Sumit Shyamsukha and Ronak Shah. It was the day their board examination marks, the ICSE and the ISC respectively, were to be released. To put this in context to our non-Indian readers, the ICSE is a 10th grade national examination and the ISC is its 12th grade counterpart. I am not aware of the exact numbers, but I believe the board who holds these examinations, ambiguously named CISCE, is the second most popular board of education in India, after the CBSE. Wrought with the monumental anxiety that usually surrounds such a crucial result, Sumit had asked me whether I might be able to break into their system before D-day and quell his curiosity.

Technicality Alert. Raspberry pi: nRF24L01 and TCP. This time I will describe how I got a Raspberry pi (Wheezy) to work as a Python server that controls a RF-transmitter (nRF24L01).

Raspberry pi: nRF24L01 and TCP

The server takes commands either from a TCP connection (internet) or via the keyboard, and broadcasts the data through the RF-transmitter to the receivers i have set up in my home automation system. See my other posts covering how to use the nRF with an AVR, and the construction of a multi-functional remote control. Why use a Raspberry pi when i already have a working TCP-server on my PC? Easy answered:I do not like to have my PC up and running 24-7 due to the facts that it's noisy (stationed in my bedroom)The RPi takes much less energy (runs on a 1000mA cellphone charger)I don't need any other parts other than a RPi, a nRF24L01(+) and cables, since the RPi has a 3,3V power supply!

Setting up SPI on RPi First of all, you must have a working copy of raspbian, I use Wheezy (made a small tutorial in how to set it up). Quick2Wire Python 3 Setting up the hardware. John McGowan's AVI Overview. What is in this Overview?
