Week 5 - Practical and Presentation
This week post like not much to blog about =( But I shall still blog because it's weekly assignment-base.
okay, first of all, we did our practical lessons about how to use RFID technology in access control. We did our practical and implemented RFID technology on the sample lift. We followed the paper and type our codes in eclipse. I learned a lot of codes like how the system will react when different codes are typed in the program. For example, the buttonPressed() event in the output and input buttons, the onLight() event to switch on the different lights when being pressed and the offLight() event to turn it off when the lift reached its desired level. The codes for getting the card scanned and reading its ID is interesting. It is the cardChanged() event where the system actually prints out the card number and activates the lift. So far, it's really an interesting practical and I learned a lot! After the practical, Mr. Kong also questioned us about the questions provided in the paper. He explained quite a bit when we did not get the full answer. Not a bad experience =)

After that, in the afternoon, we did our presentations. Well, I personally think we did not too bad already, but we will definitely be better in the next round. Will heed Mr. Kong's feedback, to be more organized..^^
