Off We Go!

Though, it might've been somewhat late notice, as you may have read below, Mr. Massad, Head of the Business and Technology Department here at Kamehameha, relayed to us that all of our materials can be provided by the Electronics Lab except for the TTL Reader (pictured above.) Mr. Blake came to the rescue and said he will assist us in ordering the TTL Reader, which is a VITAL piece to our project, from an online source. In the meantime, our group is going to have to pull together and figure out how to exactly wire the reader, as well as develop a way to place the stripe onto our classmates IDs, and also make that readable by the TTL Reader once that is completed. We've made the decision to experiment our prototype within our class. We will do this by setting up our prototype within our classroom and having students swipe their IDs instead of taking role. Eventually we hope to get this idea on a larger scale, but for now, we strive to devise a working system that would save time for teachers and teach students responsibility
