Today has been a rollercoaster of a ride! During class, our group was having a difficult time locating where we would purchase a DB-15 Male Connector (pictured above). We basically spent a whole class period struggling to find a connector within budget and that could be locally bought. After all of this, come to find out we don't even need a DB-15 connector to complete a Magnetic Stripe Reader! On http://www.ehow.com/how_7936305_build-magnetic-stripe-reader.html , it tells us that a USB wire would suffice. This website is going to be the starting point of our project, as it gives us a ten step approach in constructing a magnetic stripe reader. We are thrilled that we are able to use a USB wire, since a DB-15 connector requires a game port on a computer, which neither of us knows of or about. Currently, our group is scrambling to speak with Mr. Massad, Department Head of Kamehameha's Technology & Business Division. Needless to say, our group is slowly gaining confidence that we are headed down the right track.
