WEEK 13

WEEK 13 : Presentation Day

Objective :
1) To present the slide to an assessor.
2) To know the feedback about the project from assessor.


Methodology :

       1) Explain about the project briefly to the assessor.

       2) Show the slide to accessor for further process and method use to complete the project.

Result :
1) Assessors gives their suggestion and idea to enhance this project
2) Assessors understanding about the whole system of this project.

Analysis & Discussion : 

During presentation day, there are several part that I need to re do again. The advises from my assessors which is to find the suitable problem statements so that the project can be improved upon. Other than that, they also reprimand my mistakes in operation part which is consists of block diagram and flowchart.

Conclusion : By presenting to the assessor, the project is approved and can be proceed to the next step. My explanation of the running project are very well and can be understood.

WEEK 12

WEEK 12 : Generate Costing 

Objective : 
1) To control the expenditure of the hardware to be used in this project based on affordable budget.

2) To make it easier for all the students to claim their money with their institution without any problems.

Methodology :

1) Estimate the budget that can be spend for FYP 1.
2) Do a research about the suitable hardware that can used.
3) List all the hardware and their price in a table.

Result :

Figure 15 : The estimated budget for my project

Analysis & Discussion : 

The estimated budget is simply I get from website and google everything about the hardware and the price. S, I simply estimated that the price will be around RM306.00. Even though our institution provide RM 500 for their students but basically, this is all I need in my project.

Conclusion : It is very important to get a handle on cost estimation. This is because when money-based problems come up, this will help when come to the end of the project. 

WEEK 11

WEEK 11 : Produce Gantt Chart

Objective : 
1)To fulfill all the plan that have be done in final year project 1.
2) To illustrate how the project will run.

Methodology : 
1) List all the activities that have be done along for this project.
2) Create a suitable gantt chart that can easy to understand.


Result :

Figure 13 : Gantt chart FYP 1

Figure 14: Gantt chart FYP 2

Analysis & Discussion : The time frame allocated for this research study is 17 weeks. It started in January 2018 and is projected to be completed in May 2018.

Conclusion : As the conclusion, all the detail about the Gantt chart is showing. Gantt chart is important as part of planning to drive me to finish the project on time.

WEEK 10

WEEK 10 : Feasibility Study 

Objective : To check whether the project is easy to make or not.


Methodology : 
1) Check the prices on the internet about the equipment to be used in this project.
2) Make a research on how to get all the equipment.
3) Check the place that sells the equipment.


Results :

In general, this project has no problem being made because there are several reasons. First, the project is not very expensive because the materials used are all reasonable. Second, the material for this project is easy to get because the store selling such materials is not too far from this university, and does not have to buy online. Moreover, this project uses android directly. It is not a problem for the user as there are many phone users using a phone that has android

Analysis & Discussion :

In this project, the controller board that is used is Arduino NodeMCU. The cost of this components is not expensive than Raspberry Pi and so forth. So it is worth to develop this project without any probelms. Further than that, we can easily find the hardware at the store. Lastly, there are many android user so we do not need to worry. 

Conclusion : As the conclusion, I can proceed with this project for final year project because it is easy to make and there is no problem in terms of making hardware.

WEEK 9

WEEK 9 : Describe Input And Output Controller

Objective : To know the suitable input and output for my project.

Methodology : 
1) Searching an internet about this project.
2) Meet supervisor and ask him to check whether its correct or not.
3) Looking at the blog from the previous student.


Results :

Figure 12: Blynk app

Analysis & Discussion :
Blynk app : 

Blynk app was designed for the Internet of Things. It can control hardware remotely, it can store data, and do many other cool things. It's really simple to set everything up and will start tinkering in less  than 5 minutes. Its supporting hardware of my choice which is the Arduino is linked to the ESP8266 chip.

Wifi module :

For the input, WiFi module will sent data we want to Arduino.

For the process, it will be used for collecting data from the WiFi module and then it will process the data and send the data to the relay.

For the output, there is a relay to control the high voltage for the output. If we do not control the output, the output may be burn. The reason is Arduino cannot control high voltage and ampere, but a relay can do this job which is the sole design of it. So, we are using relay as switch to control high power devices.

Conclusion : I understand more about my project and can proceed to the next step.

WEEK 8

WEEK 8 : Design Block Diagram

Objective : To identify overall system of the project.

Methodology : Make some research on this block diagram by asking my supervisor as well and searching at the internet.



Result :

Figure 11: Block Diagram

Analysis and Discussion :

There have two sensor used. The first sensor is light sensor as a sensor to detect the light. The second one is temperature sensor which is will be function to detect the temperature of surroundings. The Arduino board that used for the project is NodeMCU. In the output side, there have a relay for each types of home devices which are two lamps and a fan.

Conclusion :

Finally, I was able to identify how the project works.
