FYP SEM 2 (WEEK 14)

this is the last week of study week.. and also this is the presentation week.. alhamdullillah.. the presentation had done yesterday.. my project was fully function without any interruption  the presentation held at the level 2, admin building..  My assessor are Mr Mohd Razif Abd Razak and Miss Nor Khairiah bt Ibrahim. Both of them are from communication section. Before the final presentation, there are many things that i have need to do for fyp..

Week 14 schedule:

- focused more to complete the project
- still try to combine the configuration
-change the plan, which did not used the lcd display
- and also the program of GPS and data logger was split without the combination
- make a GPS measurament, got the last result for the project
- present the project

for the final project, i have change the plan that i do not used the lcd display and do no combine the configuration. to get the tracking maps, the data configuration can be used. The disadvantage not combining these two configuration is, the project is not applicable and need to do one by one. Last configuration only used the GPS and data logger program.

Last result - example of tracking route

Final Project

FYP Poster

The final year project presentation had done. Special thanks to my project's supervisor, Sir Saiful Yusri b. Mohd Yassin  because gave me many advises and supervision to complete this project and got the final result. ~ ^^

FYP SEM 2 (WEEK 12 & 13)

the final project presentation around the corner.. owh.. so nervous.. still tend to complete the project and get the final result of the project.. there were so many things to do on this week..

Week 12 & 13 fyp schedule:

- focused more to complete the project
- try to find the lcd program configuration
- obtain to get a final result of the project which is the tracking route of the GPS movement
- Still tring to combine the GPS and data logger configuration
- Prepare FYP report
- Prepare FYP poster


method:
- do the configuration
- study for final presentation
- do the final report
- do the FYP poster

FYP SEM 2 (WEEK 10 & 11)

Week 10 & 11 schedule:

- study detail about the project
- search the solution, how to combine the program of GPS and data logger
- the combination still have an error
- buy the new micro SD card ( to stored a GPS data)

purpose :

 to get  a final result of the project


method:
- do the configuration of combining the GPS and data logger program.

Error occurs when combining the GPS and data logger configuration

-project's supervisor
- Arduino forum

FYP SEM 2 ( WEEK 9)

Week 9 schedule;
- meet my supervisor to show the progress of the project
- get the GPS data and data logger in a proptiary senteces
- try to used lcd display (to display the latitude and longitude)

purpose:

-to get  a final result of the project

method:

- do the configuration of GPS data logger
- try to find the I2C (lcd display capable with Arduino) configuration for display latitude and longitude of the point.

the sample configuration of GPS data logger:

#include <SD.h>

const int chipSelect = 10;

void setup()

{
  
Serial.begin(9600);
  

 pinMode(10, OUTPUT);
  
if (!SD.begin(chipSelect)) {
   
   
 return;

 }


}


void loop()

{
  
// make a string for assembling the data to log:

 char index = 0;
  
char temp = 0;
  
String dataString = "";

 // open the file. note that only one file can be open at a time,

 // so you have to close this one before opening another.

 /*
    
while(Serial.available())
   
 {
    
  File dataFile = SD.open("datalog.txt", FILE_WRITE);
     
 if(dataFile)
     
 {
        
temp = Serial.read();
        
dataString += String(temp);
        
dataFile.print(dataString);
        
dataString = "";
        
dataFile.close();
    
  }
  
  }
  
*/ 

File dataFile = SD.open("datalog.txt", FILE_WRITE);

 if(dataFile)

{
   
while(Serial.available())
  
 {
   
  temp = Serial.read();

    dataString += String(temp);
   
  index++;
    
 if(index>200)
  
     break;

   }
  
 dataFile.print(dataString);
  
 dataFile.close();

 }

}

FYP SEM 2 ( WEEK 8)

assalamualaikum w.b.t.. still in a holiday mood ^^ owh my gosh.. this is week 8.. the decline of the final project presentation less than two month from now. as usually, the fyp schedule not very different with previous week schedule..

Week 8 schedule
- do a configuration of GPS and data logger
- monitor the error
- solve the problem during the configuration
- learn from Arduino expertise

The latest configuration to get GPS data.

FYP SEM 2 (WEEK 7)

assalamualaikum w.b.t.. this is week 7.. phase test week.. for this week, i focused more on the studying the subject that have a phase test.. for this semester, i have two subjects that have a phase test.. the fyp schedule for this week was little bit typical with the last two weeks schedule.. not many things that can do in this week ^^

week 7 schedule

- meet my supervisor to show the progress of the project
- continuous do a research for a final report

purpose:

- continiously do the configuration
- keep looking if there is an error of the configuration

FYP SEM 2 (WEEK 5 & 6)

assalamualaikum w.b.t.. this week is week 5.. very fast.. huhu..  for this week, not many things that can be share in this blog.. ^^

Week 5 & 6 schedule

- still do the configuration of GPS
- try to find a solution of the error occurs
- continue did a research to write a report
- learn about Arduino GPS and data logger

Example of error occurs

purpose:

- to make sure that the project can run smoothly
