Some Hardware...Finally!!!

This week the team has been working on the hardware part of our project. We bought and ordered some new equipment. We started learning how to use and program the micro controller MSP430f149. We also worked on the circuit for the LCD and were able to turn it on to make sure it works. Our goal for next week is to work hard on showing events in the lcd and also making the buttons functional. So that way we can focus on working on more micro controller programming and also working with the WiFly communication.
