WEEK 13 (FYP 1)

This week is for submit draft proposal Chapter 1,2 & 3. I submit my draft proposal to supervisor to identify some correction that have to be made on the report. I also ask to give a suggestion and idea on how to write a good report. I make some correction to make sure all the chapter follow the marking scheme and to compile all the literature review.

        By submission the draft report and get some good explanation about the writing, I have more understanding on how to write good report.

        Back to my progress on proposal slide, I have nearly complete all the slides. On this week, I have work on Gannt Chart which is shown our planned progress of this project. Below, I have attached my Gannt Chart

This is gantt chart for my project.

                              -Dr. Reyasudin give guideline how to make slide for presentation
                               and advice to dress well during the presentation day to be more
                               confident.

Conclusion: student more prepare about slide to present in front assessor and 
                       be more confident during proposal presentation.


Power point slide content for presentation:
-Problem statement
-Objective
-What is my key idea / contribution
-How i am improving the current technology
-Methodology

WEEK 11 (FYP 1)

This week is to study about Arduino Uno for this project.

              Arduino is an open source, computer hardware and software company, project, and user community that designs and manufactures single-board microcontrollers and microcontroller kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control objects in the physical world. The project's products are distributed as open-source hardware and software, which are licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) or the GNU General Public License (GPL), permitting the manufacture of Arduino boards and software distribution by anyone. Arduino boards are available commercially in preassembled form, or as do-it-yourself kits.

               Arduino board designs use a variety of microprocessors and controllers. The boards are equipped with sets of digital and analog input/output (I/O) pins that may be interfaced to various expansion boards (shields) and other circuits. The boards feature serial communications interfaces, including Universal Serial Bus (USB) on some models, which are also used for loading programs from personal computers. The microcontrollers are typically programmed using a dialect of features from the programming languages C and C++. In addition to using traditional compiler toolchains, the Arduino project provides an integrated development environment (IDE) based on the Processing language project.

    This arduino use software  Arduino Software IDE.The arduino project provides the Arduino integrated development environment (IDE), which is a cross-platform application written in the programming language Java. It originated from the IDE for the languages Processing and Wiring. It includes a code editor with features such as text cutting and pasting, searching and replacing text, automatic indenting, brace matching, and syntax highlighting, and provides simple one-click mechanisms to compile and upload programs to an Arduino board.

Arduino Uno as microcontroller for this project

WEEK 10 (FYP 1)

This week is to study about lawn mower for this project. What is lawn mower?

MOWER TYPES:

TRIMMER-TYPE MOWING SYSTEM

The trimmer-type mowing system presented in this work has a fixed edge and a moving edge. There are two advantages of using a trimmer-type mowing system.

If a cutter edge comes into contact with people, it can cause serious injury. In the event of the proposed arrangement, the fixed edge of the trimmer extends beyond the striking boundary. Hence, the fixed edge is the first to reach any object in the way of the system. This boundary is designed so that masses can be safe even after a collision. In addition, when the system is mowing close to an obstacle such as a wall, the trimmer does not damage the wall as a rotary cutter would. Further, the proposed trimmer does not call for a hood, unlike a circular cutting tool. Therefore, the cutting edge of the trimmer-type mowing system can reach right up to a wall. The proposed trimmer also has the advantage that it does not cause stones to be expelled as easily as in the instance of a rotary cutter.

Rotary mowers

Rotary lawn mowers have one very high speed rotating blade underneath. The blade ‘chops’ the grass on impact due to its very high speed. Most rotary mowers have the grass box behind with a few having an integral grass box. These mowers work best on a medium to high cut. A Rotary Mower is a mower in which the blade spins horizontally (east to west) and uses a sucking and tearing action to cut the blades of grass. Rotary mowers usually have one blade which rotates very fast. The rotary mower design is simple and adapts very well to small engines. Rotary mowers can cut a wide variety of grass conditions. Rotary mowers are usually powered by gas engines or electric engines.

WEEK 9 (FYP 1)

Activity: Do some research about multitasking wireless robot from journal gets
                from library portal ecitie to get into IEEE portal.

Objective: To get more information about the project from Journal.

Content: -Find journal in IEEE portal.
                 -Study the journal that already chooses.
                 -Complete my proposal report for chapter 1 and 2.

Result/Analysis: Student archived better understanding about the project.
                              How project operates and what component need to make a
                              prototype The previous work help very much to make improvement
                              the project.

Conclusion: This week already completed the introduction, the objective and
                       literature review.

This journal for my literature review

WEEK 8 (FYP1)

Activity: Student attend the third Final Year Project 1 briefing.


Objective: To know how to write methodology and result & discussion writing for
                   FYP 1 technical report.


Content: FYP coordinator DR Siti Marwangi was invited Dr. Imran Mohamad  Sofi
                 to give an explanation about how to write chapter 3 and discussion.


Result/Analysis: Student archived better understanding of the Final Year Project 1
                               technical report for chapter 3 and discussion.


Conclusion: Requirement for Final Year Project 1 technical report for chapter 3
                      and discussion according assessment and marking aspect already
                      clear by explanation from Dr. Imran.
