Mercurial Setup

Mercurial is free control management tool,which handles project of any size .New with this!! Followed tutorial shared on mail which is uploaded
here:Mercurial Tutorial .I installed mercurial on Ubuntu 13.4 machine,firstly struggled with hg pull and push commands.But finally adopted with it.

Step 1: Install Mercurial and Dependancies typing sudo apt-get install hg

Step 2:Get the ssh keys (academy & academy.pub) from your tutor and placed this Key Files inside ~/.ssh folder

Step 3:Change the Permissions for the Private Key by typing in terminal sudo chmod600 ~/.ssh/academy

> Step 4:Edit the config file

Step 5 Clone the archive typing in the terminal
hg clone -e "ssh -i ~/.ssh/academy" ssh://hg@fabacademy.org/academy.2015/Web/as ~/Documents/fab2015/asia
Step 6: Edit the hgrc file username and email.

Step 7: work flow for the Archive


hg pull
hg update
hg addremove
hg commit -m "message"


I have followed Tutorial for Installation

For Video conferencing,I prefer polycom with calling sip:18.85.8.48,after that selected 'classes' tag and put 4 terminated with '#'through remote (but
first we have to press '#'to make keypad visible on screen ).

I tried on Ekiga;but it gets intruppted after some time.(when I open my machine camera). May be its ubuntu version problem? also ekiga is open
source but some limitations like screen sharing taking it back.

As per Neil's suggestion we are using new sip id:18.85.8.48 with providing pin 8357 under classes terminated with '#'when attending single .If
we are in group then we use sip:18.85.8.50 with pin 1873 terminated with '#'


While dealing with mercurial setup I got the problem on ubuntu System program problem detected This window is appear there several times. I googled about it I got the commant for

sudo rm/var/crash/*
Above commant in terminal solved the issue.

For taking screenshots I Instructor Francisco suggest shutter software. I download it from Ubuntu software center.
Again during I got error Requires installations of untrusted pakages

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
Unfortunatley the shutter still not working.
So I rebooting the system this solved the issue.Now I have shutter working to take screenshots.
Project Management

 

My Project is about to control Bulls in race. Traditionally Indian villages(rural community) host Jatra (Fair) Our Part of
India(Maharashtra) organizes bullock race one of major event in fair. This bullock race is free style race where pair of bullock has to
run on climbing hill and complite mark distance in lowest possible time.

Due to many accidental injuries(to bull and mens) during race, many activist taking objection on this bull racing event and
tried to banned it leagally. But rural community still holds these event because it is the only entertainment and prestige to owener of
such bullsand also has econimical impactduring fair days in villages.

But the problem is that there is no man to controll that animal. Bulls run themself. Usally bulls are control by using rein.
But the problem is, that racing bulls are very energetic and exited hence they become dengeours to control by human being they run even
after crossing end line. Because there is no one to control those bulls during race. Hence they just run n run uncontrolly.

This is scene from race

This is how farmer control Bulls by pulling rein.(Img 1)

Bulls are unstopable even after crosing line (Img 2)

Closer view of rein (Img 3)

So i wish to make and design somthing which make controlling of bulls easily by using digital fabrication during race to control remotly.
Im going to design such a device that has transmitter and receiver for remote control, motor and Battery. Belowe diagram is besic diagram
of a project idea.

Basic Block Diagram of project (Img 4)

Input to this device will be single from transmitter to receiver that will turn on/off motor.That means output will be turning on/off this motor.
Img 5 is diagram for what I want to do is that I will going to control Bulls by remote. Hence bulls will stops after pressing button on remote

This is front view i have draw. This is how my project work
