Week 6 (FYP 1)

-
Activity: 
Make a research on the new sensor which is current sensor

Objective:
  • To understand more detail about how current sensor work 
  • To figure out that current sensor is suitable to use in this project
Content: 
  • make some research  about the connection between current sensor and any loads
  • make a research to know the circuit diagram and Arduino coding to programmed the sensor
Result:
  • The information that i get from the research, the current sensor ACS712 can use at any load DC or AC.  The input  voltage is +5V for typical applications
ACS712 Current Sensor

  • Sensor Specifications:
    • Measures both AC and DC current
    • Provides isolation from the load
    • Easy to integrate with MCU, since it outputs analog voltage
  • Circuit Diagram for the sensor and load

Conclusion:
Based on the information, the current sensor is quite easy to install in the stamping machine. Nevertheless, I need to discuss with Sir Shaiful whether he agrees or he has other additional ideas on this project.

Activity: Learn in more detail about the Arduino coding, Arduino IDE and Blynk Objective: To put transfer the coding system into Arduino board (ESP866) To connect the Arduino IDE to Blynk application To control the system using smartphone. Content:  To generate code on Arduino Board, I use Arduino IDE software. First, I need to add some library and board that I needed into software Arduino IDE which is Blynk ESP8266, simpleTimer and Adafruit.   For Blynk program, I fill in the required information such as SSID (Wi-Fi name), pass (Wi-Fi password) and auth token to connect with Blynk application. Result: After I finish the programming part and try to compile it. But it show some error which is the system detect multiple libraries in my laptop. Other than that, the system did not find the simpletimer.h library and it use blynktimer.h which is it not necessary. Conclusion: I need do some research about the solution of the problem before continuing other task. It is because the Ard...

Activity: Recording project demonstration. Objective: To produce a good and clear demonstration video. To produce a project demonstration video that can be understood by the evaluator. Content: Choose a suitable and quiet place to record a demonstration video. Make drafts and plans to record video. Choose the suitable angle for place of camera. Run the project and start recording. Result: The suitable place is chosen which in store room at groundfloor. The demonstration video was recorded with several different angles as there were several important parts running at one time such as the temperature sensor and the IR sensor. I need to add background voice of explanation because during recording, I cant make explanation because the sound of compressor is too loud. Conclusion: As a conclusion, successfully created video demonstration for online presentation which will attract the attention.

Activity: Design a Presentation Slide and Discussion with Supervisor Objective: to make a good presentation slide to prepare for the presentation in the 12th week to seek views and advice from supervisors Content: Make a presentation slide based on the FYP criteria set by the coordinator. The slide contains Introduction, Problem Statement, Literature Review, Methodology and Result. The section to be concerned about is a summary of the Literature Review After completing the slide, I met and discussed with Sir Shaiful to review the slide and give advice on the presentation later Result: After Sir Shaiful reviewed the slide, it gave an overview of the Flowchart section and Estimated costs on the project. Sir Shaiful also gave some advice during the presentation later. Conclusion: After being satisfied with the slide, I can proceed to the next task which is to record the presentation video to be played on the presentation day next week. The presentation will take place online at Micros...
