Research Process

I would say that the best way to describe my research process is erratic. I just go and see what pops up. I am not really following a specific path or any thing, just trying to learn as I go along. I have started out with a lot of research on the micro controller and Arduino. I am working a lot on the coding, and the electronics. My plan is to move in to the actual implementation, as I get farther into the project.

 This is not really how I do research for school projects in general. In the past I have done all of my research in a much more structured way. Find a subject and stick to it, and learn as much about it as I can. For this I acted a lot more like it was one of the kinds of projects I do in my free time. I would describe that researching tactic as something like a shotgun where I do ten searches, and hope that I get something out of one of them. To that effect I have research a lot on the coding of my micro processor, and the hard ware that I am going to need. I am planning on doing the same to learn a lot about the history and time line of the mountain bike.
