Hey guys!!!
my teacher has given me an idea for a project but i dont know where to start and do. can anyone gives my guildline on what i am suppose to do/start to make the described project worked???
The idea of the project goes:
my teacher is trying to make a project that can earn money from electric plug.
Because mobility of electronic device is advancing, people can use stuff like laptops anywhere but "battery flat" is a concerned and they will actually go to hotspot where there are power socket avaliable and will start using the electricity(power) to use their laptops. Most people will use as long as they wish because its free. And the provider will be paying the unnecceasy electric bill.
So we are trying to design a device and programming using smartcard to people pay if they wishes to use it for a long period of time.
The rough idea of project is : When the user plug-in to the electricity power socket, electricity will flow for a period of time(timer) when the time reaches,the electricity will be cut off and the user will have to pay certain amount using the smartcard with a contactless card reader. and when this process is done,the electricity will regain flow and thats about it.
i dont know if you guys understand my description but hope you get the idea.
So from my knowlege, i know this require programming with VB or C++. and a PLC.
Thanks a big alot!!!!!
