Samsung Galaxy S4
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is launched with terrific features that exceeds the features in any other smartphone or may be even tablets available in market today. I'd say, they've focused more on the software side of the device this time and brought in several intutive features to make life fun n simple. Some of the interesting ones are: 


Instantly preview and speeddial your contacts


  • Preview videos by hovering finger above the screen.
  •  Instantly preview and speeddial your contacts (even when you hover on top of the dial pad without touching the screen).
  • Recognize your eye movement to know when to pause and play the video.


  • Recognize information from images. This is one feature I always want and believed to be the future of computing. It helps recognize the information in newspapers, visiting cards etc.

  • Touch and use even with gloves.

  • Use multiple phones as speaker . No cellular data, Wi-Fi access point or bluetooth required!

  • Record a bit of audio when you take a photo.
  • Use the front and rear camera simultaneously during video conferencing and video recording.

  • S Translator application in the phone can translate upto 9 languages while real time messaging as well as for vocabulary lookup. 
  • Control your T.V. with Samsung WatchON app and make you living room experience more hassle-free.

Building Autonomous Drone with Raspberry Pi and APM 2.8

I am a total newbie to hardware and was pushing my limits to see how far I can reach on with hardware projects (which sparked my interest lately). I have set out on a very ambitions mission  to control a drone from raspberry pi .I began the research for this around 2 months ago and had brought a raspberry pi, drone body kit and apm flight controller. The key difference of this project from common drone projects is that I'm trying to avoid the use of and RC and instead use the raspberry pi to control it.  Hardware Ins tallation Setup: I am using APM 2.8 and Mission Planner. I am using RPi 3 to control the APM 2.8 via Telem port of APM I am planning to power the apm via the battery to ESC (Electronic Speed Controllers) Now, documenting my steps below: Day 1 Watch Tutorial To get started with APM flight controller, I watched this video tutorial [1] which gives a gentle introduction about APM board.  Setup APM board and Calibrate Sensors I downloaded the APM Missi

You may have used a font generator or just using the default fonts and got a *.h file that has the details of the font. In that case just change the last integer value in the PROGMEM variable.
