Risks/Contingency Plan
 Unfamiliar with flash based web apps and TCP/IP
connections

Use available resources such as online tutorials, books, and TA’s
 Serial communication using RS232 between the Netburner
module and the Zigbee module

Read development boards’ technical documentation and learn from
example applications
 Power supplies for various components

Perform testing on bread board first
 Safety

Exercise proper safety precautions at all times
