Week 10 (FYP 2)

-
Activity:
Replace the Arduino Board (ESP8266)

Objective:
  • To replace the damaged original Arduino board.
  • To check the wiring connection between NodeMCU, sensors and relay.
Content:
  • The original NodeMCU board suddenly getting hot and the light on the board become turn off
  • At first I expected that what was broken was the cable. So i try change and replace the cable but the result is still same. The NodeMCU board not function.
  • I try to troubleshoot the board and connect with other laptop but still not function.
  • After i make a research, the NodeMCU board was short circuit and overload current. So the solution is i need to change with the new one.
Result:
  • So I change the new board, upload the coding from the Arduino software
  • after done upload the coding, i connect all the sensor and relay
  • As a result, the arduino and other sensor was functioning well.
Conclusion:
The cause of this problem is the VCC/GND are internally connected due to a previous failure or An output pin, is connected to a supply rail through a very low resistance load (or short circuited).

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...
