Every week comes with new experiences which always leads into new discoveries.it has been a week of experiences  with the BP monitor project.

 Monday’ was really great as a goal of integrating the category switch in the circuit was met. Despite not finding the sliding switch that we suggested, the potentiometer has been incorporated such that different ranges of voltages define deferent categories of people such as child, pregnant women as well as normal adult person. .

there was much excitement on Thursday as group after designing and laser cutting the wood box for the first prototype …’getting experience in a funny way’!!! I love my team!!

finally the goal of the week was met having our first prototype with a category switch and power supply in a labeled box !!!

I just like the OEDK, for it is a conducive environment for prototyping….as far as you have an idea/a solution to a problem, the limit may be yourself not resources!!!!. I’m hoping for such a kitchen at Malawi Polytechnic for this can enhance student’s passion in solving some of the engineering problems Malawi(Warm heart of Africa) is facing.
