Week 2 (FYP 2)

Assalamualaikan w.b.t.

Alhamdulilah, my ultrasonic sensor was received! Yeay me! Thank you Mr Azmi from Myduino.com. So I can continue to test my sensor and start build the circuit and combined it with the sensor. If I have done this circuit and sensor completely, InsyaAllah my project automatically done.. So now I need to study, learn, practice and do the programming process.

Week 1 (FYP 2)

Assalamualaikum.

On July 29th I was registered as semester 7 student also automatically as FYP 2 student. For this 1st week I just bought the add on hardware to complete the framework of my project.

the plastic cover to hide wires or to makes it orderly. 

the black box which to create orderly switch

Semester Break part II

On the 2nd week stayed at my uncle house, I started set up the hardware. For this time, I learned how to build the hardware and make it run manually. I was half completed the framework of my projects. At this time my projects just can run left, right, front and back. The ultrasonic sensor I can't order it yet cause of out of stock. Encik Azmi (myduino.com) told that maybe on the next week he would restock the sensor. I had waiting for the new registration. So after new registration I can meet my supervisor to discuss more and start the next stage which is build the program, test and complete my projects.

Semester Break

Its semester break now. Semester break starts on 17th may 2012 untill 27th july 2012. On the 1st week,  I went to the Kolej Mara Kuala Nerang as a Secretariat for "Program Bersama Alumni Foundation UniKL FIST batch 9 2012/2013" under Center of Foundation UniKL that held 4 days 3 nights.

After 3 weeks of rest, I had decided to go to my uncle house for starts my learning session with my uncle. For your information my uncle who is lecturer electronics at KKTM Ledang. I had stayed at his house for 2 weeks. In 2 weeks I had learned the basic to build the hardware and test the hardware. This learning session, gave me a lot of information and gave me understanding how to do my project. Its easier to me to understand how the circuit run, how to connect the circuit and the sensor together when I need to do my project with my supervisor later on.

On the 1st week stayed, I starts with buy the hardware components:

learned the specification of arduino mobile platform:

New Updates..!

Its been a while I did not update my FYP blog. sorry for the late. I had been busy with my FYP 1 presentation, assignments on clinical mini projects and get focus to my final examination. Alhamdulilah I had go through all the presentation, mini projects and final examination well. the result for my FYP 1 was good. Syukur, thanks to Madam Sabrina, Sir Syazwan and Madam Hajar. For my project progress I will update in new entry. 

Part 10 (Week 10)

Assalamualaikum w. b.t

On the previous entry (The Components) I had mentioned that I will use Roboduino Romeo. But after discussed with my advisor and Sir Zul, we found that the Roboduino Romeo not compatible to my project cause of the output produced. Robuino Romeo is suitable to projects that have more output such as robot. As for my project just perfect to do it with arduino uno. So I have to exchange the part of components.

Description of Arduino Uno:

This is the new Arduino Uno R3. In addition to all the features of the previous board, the Uno now uses an ATmega16U2 instead of the 8U2 found on the Uno (or the FTDI found on previous generations). This allows for faster transfer rates and more memory. No drivers needed for Linux or Mac (inf file for Windows is needed and included in the Arduino IDE), and the ability to have the Uno show up as a keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc.

The Uno R3 also adds SDA and SCL pins next to the AREF. In addition, there are two new pins placed near the RESET pin. One is the IOREF that allow the shields to adapt to the voltage provided from the board. The other is a not connected and is reserved for future purposes. The Uno R3 works with all existing shields but can adapt to new shields which use these additional pins.

Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP). The open-source IDE can be downloaded for free (currently for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux).

Features:

• ATmega328 microcontroller
• Input voltage - 7-12V
• 14 Digital I/O Pins (6 PWM outputs)
• 6 Analog Inputs
• 32k Flash Memory
• 16Mhz Clock Speed

Arduino Workshop

Assalamualaikum w.b.t

On the 23^rd Feb 2012, Medical Electronics Club was held “Let’s Talk Arduino” by Sir Zulkifli Mahmoodin. The talk was held to introduce the Arduino as microcontroller. Before this, we just hear PIC, but now we have the Arduino as microcontroller which very easy compared PIC. I had joined that talk.

After got highly demand to extend the talk, Sir Zulkifli Mahmoodin elate to extend the talk became "Arduino Workshop". After discussing with the Medical Electronics Club committees, Sir Zul agreed to held Arduino Workshop on 17th March 2012.

In this workshop, Sir Zul had teach us manually, technically step by step how to use arduino. Set up the programming and applied the arduino program.
