WEEK 16: Create proposal abstract

Date: 20- 24/11/2017 (Monday- Friday)
Activity: Create proposal abstract
Objective: To make the simple summary of our project
Contents:

The presentation have done last week, so this week we write the abstract of proposal report. In the briefing the lecturer say a good abstract is should not exceed 350 word and must be written in one paragraph. We write the abstract of our proposal report with simple and easy to understand. 

Results/Analysis:

ABSTRACT

Nowadays user-friendly become one of the popular theme to proposed or create a product. The main purpose of this theme is to give more efficiency, save more energy and more friendly approach to the user while they use the product. Same goes to the Development of User-Friendly Power Extension, This project is proposed is to give more user-friendly to the user to use the power extension. Development of User-Friendly Power Extension is one of Arduino Mega based project. This project is proposed is to give more user-friendly to the user to use the power extension. This project used smartphone to turn ON and turn OFF the switch from the distance by using Bluetooth as the connection, the switch also can be turn ON and turn OFF by using Infrared Sensors. A few test is been done to some of the component to determine the condition of the component. This project can be one the user-friendly product, where it can be used to ease the user by controlling the power extension from a long and short distance.

Conclusion:

The abstract that  we write is simple and easy to understand when the reader read the abstract automatically their understand about our project.

WEEK 13: Final FYP Briefing

Date: 1/11/2017 (Wednesday)
Activity: Final FYP Briefing
Objective: To brief about the presentation and important thing about FYP
Contents:

As usually we have to attend the FYP briefing because all the information about the FYP subject will explain with detail in this briefing. This week is final briefing and the briefing start on 3pm until 5pm at TTL1. 

Results/Analysis:


Final FYP Briefing

In the briefing, the FYP committees have briefed us about:
·        Claim of project
·        Abstract
·        Poster
·        Attire for presentation
·        Presentation day
·        Submission date of proposal and logbook

Conclusion:

The lecturers that conduct the briefing are brief all about the FYP subject with clearly. Then we also understand all the criteria that must need in the poster,claim and etc.

WEEK 12: Test and troubleshoot project

Date: 23- 27/10/2017 (Monday- Friday)
Activity: Test and troubleshoot project
Objective: To make sure the project running with correctly
Contents:

After all components are assemble and wiring, we test our project for the first time and the project is not function. We think the wires connection have something wrong. A few minutes later we have found the error which is the output wire of Bluetooth Module is connect wrong port at Arduino Mega. Then for second time we test our project, it running correctly like had set before.

Results/Analysis:

Press ON for Switch 3 

The kettle turn ON

Conclusion:

The project has complete and running with correctly. From the error in the project we have learn how to troubleshoot the error. So now our project ready for Industry Day but we just need to give last touch up to look nice.

WEEK 11: Assemble and wiring all the components

Date: 16- 20/10/2017 (Monday- Friday)
Activity: Assemble and wiring all the components
Objective: To combine the all the components at the hardware
Contents:

After we write the coding to program the project, we assemble and wiring all the components into the transparent box. The components have hold by using hot glue and screw stand for make sure the components don't move. 

Results/Analysis:

 Assemble the components in the box

 
Wiring the components

Conclusion:

Before do the wiring process it is very important to know the whole of wiring project and make a reference before connect the wire with component to avoid short circuit.

WEEK 10: Write the coding

Date: 9- 13/10/2017 (Monday- Friday)
Activity: Write the coding
Objective: To create the program of the project
Contents:

This week we focus to write the code because we know to write the code we should focus 100%. In this project we used Arduino Mega as micro controller because the coding for Arduino is used C++ language. To create own coding is hard for us, so we decide to refer at Youtube and other website to get the basic code and then we modified like we want. 

Results/Analysis:

Write code using Ardiuno Software

Conclusion:

The program of the project have been complete and now just need to upload to Arduino Mega to run the program. During write the code program we have learn and get the knowledge about the Arduino Mega. We hope the knowledge that we have we will apply to another project.

WEEK 9: Design and make casing project

Date: 2- 7/10/2017 (Monday- Friday)
Activity: Design and make casing project
Objective: To cover the circuit of the project
Contents:

The casing is important for our project because all components are using high voltage. The transparent box is built for safety aspect because the adapter is dangerous. So, the box can avoid from a people to touch the circuit.

Results/Analysis:

Transparent box

Conclusion:

We have done built the casing by using the acrylic to cover the circuit of the project.

WEEK 8: Costing

Date: 25- 29/9/2017 (Monday- Friday)
Activity: Costing
Objective: To manage the budget of the project
Contents:

This week we plan the cost of components that we use in our project. The costing is only for main components, it not include the price of all things to make the whole project. After we do the costing, we go to Jalan Pasar, Pudu to buy all of the main components. We buy the components at one electronic shop which is Sigma Components Sdn. Bhd because the price of components are cheap. We refer to our costing while buy all the components to avoid over budget because UniKL BMI have provide the budget RM300 for one person. 

Results/Analysis:
