WEEK 11: Purchasing Components

In preparing the project components, several factors must be taken into account. Among them is the projects budget. Each project has its own budget and an estimated budget for the project was made during FYP1 proposal. Second, the list of components is an important part in the preparation of project components.

Before purchasing the components, survey has been done before purchasing the components.
Most of the components are purchased at Jalan Pasar, Pudu, Kuala Lumpur. Nevertheless that, online survey also has been made and mostly the components are available at KedaiRobot.com.

The components are way much cheaper online than in store. Although that is the case, a big quantity of components only be able to be purchase from online. This project doesn't need that many components thus the option is to buy straight from the store. 

The electronic components are mostly obtain from a store called Nixie at Jalan Pasar. 

For the Stethoscope, it was obtained from Mudah.my since it is a medical device and can't be purchased from electronic store. It was quite a catch since the price is reasonable to complete this project.
