Thank you, sir :-)

@JohnRennie: Wishing you a happy new year, sir!

:)

Incidentally, I also started learning control theory from a course on mechatronics I took this semester.

@JohnRennie :-)

@JohnRennie Ok sir. Thank you for sharing your opinion. Actually, it's a personal project done just for my own fun and it isn't part of the curriculum. I was in the decision process before I fully commit. But I'm most probably going forward with the project.

But sir, there is a problem with this or at least on my end. Even though I'm certain that this project is something I would really enjoy doing, a part of my brain tells that everything in this is tried and tested, like we already have autonomous flight and will it be good enough if I do it as an engineering student? Of course, there will be lots of learnings, but this minor loop of thought process seems to backfire. Do you have any opinions or suggestions on this?

@JohnRennie :/

@JohnRennie Nice. It's always fun to have some control over mechanical elements with these microcontrollers. In fact, to be precise, I'm also using ESP32 mainly because of its processing speed and cost.

And some kid like desires to include gear retraction system, and of course lights :)

I'm planning to build a fixed wing RC aircraft, and design my own flight controller for it by designing a custom PCB. I had few ideas which I thought would be cool to see how it works, like using two digital pressure sensors that can be hooked up to an Arduino and calculate airspeed much like how the usual pitot-static system works. There were some more ideas, like implementing an automatic CG calculation system and checking if it falls within the limits.

@JohnRennie That's entirely fine sir. I'm studying mechanical engineering at NIT Trichy :)

@JohnRennie That's great :)

How are your Christmas preparations going on?

@John Rennie: Hi Sir! How are you? It's been a very long time since we talked before.

Good bye, sir. It was nice to chat with you after a long time. :-)

Ah yes :-)

I kind of feel this 20.04 is booting bit faster and is smoother than 18.04. Not sure if it's my illusion.

Just followed our previous conversation for Grub customizer too.

Yes sir. :-)

@JohnRennie: Everything seems to be working great. :-)

Sure sir. Thank you very much.

I didn't want to clean everything off. :-)

That's why I stopped the previous time.

@JohnRennie :-)

@JohnRennie Yes sir, Windows seems to start normally. And I'm in desktop.

Sure sir.

In the boot manager, it still shows Ubuntu along with Windows and the flash drive. Are we good to go, sir?

Ok sir. Fingers crossed. :-)

@JohnRennie Now, it's successfully unallocated sir.

😐

@JohnRennie I believe that the 127.5 GB partition here is the one we earlier allocated for Ubuntu, sir:

@JohnRennie :-)

@JohnRennie the power off button was non responsive for some reason. It worked after I went to 'try Ubuntu' option sir.

I'll send in 5 minutes. Things just came back to control.

Sure sir. I'm now having a situation with powering off through Ubuntu. :-)

Ah. Got it sir.

@JohnRennie Wouldn't delete volume automatically remove the partition as a whole? I haven't tried it. I thought proceeding via the installer and using the first option work work out. Sadly it gave a warning.

@JohnRennie :-)
