week 2...2013

        For this week, week 2, I have bought the equipment that I need in my project. By this week also, I will shown it to my advisor,Sir Basri to verified it. The equipment is correct.

        Besides that, I have to find another equipment to complete my project which is charger controller, rectifier circuit and battery. After discussion with my supervisor, he suggest that I should buy charger controller with have current is 1Ampere where it cost RM60. And the battery needed is 12V with 2.6Ampere and it cost average RM50. 

     Furthermore, I also have to check that charger controller that I wanted to buy is matching with the battery. Otherwise, it cannot perform smoothly. For precaution, I have to make sure I will buy correctly by asking the technician of the shop.

     In addition, for the rectifier circuit, the diodes use is depends on the input which mean the photovoltaic itself and also the thermoelectric. This is why data sheet is important. Overall, my project will starting by this week and hopefully everything is in track.

came back to school 2013

     After a long rest for the holiday i will begin this semester, I have to start build my prototype. By referring to the schedule I have made, this week I have to find the equipment needed for my project for example,gear and rack also the main absober. Moreover, I have to find and search  more information about it. For the software, I have to install LabVIEW in my laptop  first. I have to make step by step so that I know that I am still on track and will make sure this project will complete by the end of the semester. HOPEFULLY :)
