7. Purchasing the Parts!
With the deadlines fast approaching, I figured I should try to take advantage of the year end sales to try to purchase the items I need at a possibly lower price. The first set of purchases are from Lelong.my, from the seller Robotedu. These are primarily Arduino-related products for the module.
This component was mentioned in a previous blog post, and will function as the part that will connect my Arduino board with the android app.
2. Arduino Nano - RM 12.50
This will hopefully function as my main Arduino board to run the whole module in a smaller size compared to the Arduino Uno.
3. Arduino SPI ICSP interface Micro SD Card Adapter Reader Module - RM 5.90
This micro SD card reader will function as my main file storage component
4. 4ohm Loud Speaker - RM 6.90
They're speakers. They will function as speakers. Make sounds. Yay.
5. Battery holder - RM 2.50
6. LC 14500 3.7v 1300mah Li-ion Rechargeable Lithium Battery (AA /5 Size) - RM 7.00x2
I bought two of these, which will help power the circuit. I'm honestly not sure if the poower supply is sufficient or too much, because honestly I admit I don't have a very good understanding of power, voltage, current etc. Most of my tinkering around with circuits have been simply crossing my fingers and hoping things don't explode.
7. TP4056 1A Li-ion LiPo Battery Charging, Mini Micro USB Power Charger - RM 1.90
Based on this tutorial that was featured in the item listing, I'm hoping this can help with making the batteries rechargeable.
Finally, there are two parts which I purchased off Lazada.my after comparing the prices from Lazada and Lelong after considering the shipping prices. The wireless charging pad was RM 15.70, and the receiver module was RM 15.90
The final total for the money I have spent on these purchases amounts to RM 98.30. I hope they arrive okay.
