WEEK 3

Title of Activity : Purchase components listed

Objective : To get components within a week

Activities/Procedures :

1)  After completing our survey in last week, we've made up our mind to buy all components listed. Before we go to Jalan Pasar, we calculated time and cost for transportation. Most of the shops at Jalan Pasar opened around 10 a.m  and closed around 5 p.m .

2) Listed below are few component that we buy with picture

   

Transformer Step Down 230VAC/ 12V AC

PIC 16F877A

LCD DISPLAY

MQ2 GAS SENSOR

RESONATOR

RESET SWITCH

RESISTOR

Problem encountered :     
         One of listed components that is resonator has availability issue due to stock. We have to wait another 2 weeks for that component. To solve this problem, we buy that component in another store with different price. 

Conclusion :
        In making a project that using hardware, we must properly plan with time and cost. This is very crucial because if we didn't make it in time, we might facing trouble because stores at Jalan Pasar closed at 5 p.m. As for project flow, we have followed it with flying colours.
