Week 9 (9.19)

It is the last class before second semester mid break start. Today, our class was finished very early.  But many classmates still stayed in the classroom. Those groups were going to discuss their technologies with Roman and Simon respectively, our group also. Jong already got his Arduino kit from Trademe seller.He discussed with Simon about our project- brake cooling system, and Simon gave us a lot of help. Meanwhile, Jin and I got a bad news about our project, the lecturer who use that existed project did not allow us to grind the brake caliper.So we had to get a new second hand brake caliper for our project.In the afternoon, Jong,Jin and I went to the Pick A Part to look for a new suitable brake caliper and rotor.

We looked for a suitable ventilated rotor and caliper in the whole yard. We checked more than 10 scarp car, but the size of  brake rotors is not suitable for our project. Finally, we find a Honda car had a similar size brake rotor and caliper. We went to take this one for our project.We checked the rotor size and caliper size, it is very suitable except the distance of two  bolt holes. I had not check the holes distance before. So, we just hide this brake caliper and rotor first. Then, we want go to workshop again to measure the distance of two bolt holes. If that rotor bolt holes is match to the bolt distance, we will go back to Pick A Part to buy them.
