A couple of weeks back I and my colleague Kannan - the guy who gave me the idea for the Dithered DAC - had been to BITS Pilani Goa campus for conducting a PSoC3 workshop. 

We conducted the workshop during the Quark 2010 Tech Fest for which Cypress is one of the sponsors.  96 students attended the workshop.  In the morning we had a theory session on PSoC3 architecture.  In the afternoon, we had three hands on sessions where students created PSoC3 projects starting from basic blink an LED using firmware to creating two out of phase PWMs and making an LED to brighten and dim from the phase shift.  It was a great experience to be in college and teaching students.  Seeing the enthusiasm of the students and the way they were enjoying college life, I got a nostalgic feeling about my college days 18 years back.  If only I could turn time back... (sigh...)

Here are a few photos from the workshop.

Also, on this occasion, three fighter planes from the Idian Navy presented an air show.  It was awesome to see the three jets flying at Mach speed spewing colored smoke from their tails and performing various maneuvers with split second timing. Here are a few photos.
