Content/Procedure

This week all students involved in fyp1 & 2 should come to listen a short briefing what should they do during this semester. Students for taking subject fyp1 they have been reminded to make a blog about the project and the need to at least update their blog once a week. For those students taken subject fyp2 they should follow their plans, arrange whole semester to finishing their project according to what was planned.

Result/Analysis

After looking over all the jalan pasar, the componet that want to be purchased could not be found because the majority of the shops around here that selling arduino kits and components is quite limited. I was recommended by owner shop to buy online that in case that component that i request is unavailable at here and hard to find. He gave me some website that maybe have sell that equipment that i looking for my project. One of the link is http://myduino.com/

Conclusion

The arduino kit for my project is not available at the jalan pasar. Then i decided to buy it online but the problem is not enough fund because all equipment sell in USD so if convert to RM is too expensive, so i should hold for buying the hardware first. Then i will focus on my software next.
