Dear readers its our pleasure to share our experience in treatment of fish fry. A said experiment was carried out as part of aquaponics trials study during July – December 2018. Aim of study was to standardize stocking density & treatment methodology for Vietnamese Koi fish before releasing them in actual aquaponics system.

We are pleased to announce a 2 days training workshop on’ Aquaponics farming’ on 24th & 25th November 2018. This training is aimed to share our experience in aquaponics farming during past 4 years. Training will cover aquaponics system design , system biology , water chemistry along with commercial aspects like feed conversion rations , economics , return on investment (ROI) etc.
We have limited 10 seats for training (Sorry for last minute posting !!) . Request you to circulate post in like-minded groups / pages and contact vapabaldst@gmail.com for any further clarifications / information,
n Pune market , digital hygrometers are either very costly or low cost versions are having very high error margin. We needed high accuracy hygrometers for our ‘drying apparatus’ , so we build it by studying analog (dry bulb / wet bulb) hygrometer basic working principles coupled with arduino based programming / computing.
DIC student Jaydip has worked on this and here are its details –
Vigyan ashram , Do-It-Yourself lab Pune is happy to announce Diwali vacation’ DIY camp’ during 3-17 November 2018. This camp is targeted for 8+ age group students with spark of Diwali lightning! Camps will explore application of new technologies like robotics , 3D printing , laser cutting etc for making of sky lanterns , electronics fire-crackers , traditional decorative items like idols , show pieces etc in very constructive learning manner. Interested students / parents are requested to register before 25/10/2018 to assure their seat. Please contact 94042251930 / 9067157281 for further details.
Braille printing (embossing) is time consuming process but very much needed one! Thanks new technology interventions like CNC , 3D printing which are right their to impact it for easing it. Now its our tern to make it much simpler and DIY form and reach to masses in cost effective way.
FABLAB @ VA has tried to adopt it and make easy for DIY explorers. Here is our first hand experience on making of Braille printer at Pabal. Its under trial at movement but we would like to here from you if you wish to adopt it !
BrailleRapSP is a machine which is piloted in G-CODE, to emboss braille it is necessary first of all to translate the text in Braille. There are 2 solutions to translate Braille: The BrailleRap application online https://crocsg.github.io/BrailleRap/ The NatBraille application http://natbraille.free.fr
