Final Year Project 1 Logbook/Blog

For this week, I have to continue my writing on Methodology. I list out the component used, gant chart and cost estimation. List of Components Material Functions Pulse sensor Detect pulse of the human body through fingertips Toggle Switch with Braille Cells Instruct user to use the device especially for blind people Arduino Uno Processing the received data 20 x 4 LCD Display Display the heart rate information Cytron MP3 Shield Decode the status of heart rate and play it back Earphone Produce voice output to deliver information Cloud System To store the generated information Gant Chart Cost Estimation No. Hardware Price 1. Pulse Sensor RM100.00 2. Arduino Uno RM80.00 3. Cytron MP3 Shield RM94.46 4. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) RM50.00 5. Battery 9V RM6.00 6. Battery Casing RM4.00 7. Toggle Switch RM1.50 8.

On 17 Apr 2019 my friends and I meet Dr Jawad to check on my content of Chapter 1. So I print out one copy to him to check my content and mark it easily. I also starts doing my Methodology Chapter 3 this week and make some finding on the Internet. Introduction In Chapter 3, the materials and methods will be describes in the project. This chapter covers about block diagram, flowchart of project, the software and list of component, the gant chart and cost estimation this project. This chapter will details more about each and every component’s function in this project. Plus, a short brief about the materials used in this project also help to develop the project besides identify what is the pro and cons about the materials. Block Diagram Flowchart Conclusion: I get so many grammatical and tenses error during checking on Chapter 1. I mix up present and past tenses so Dr Jawad asked me to do some correction. I also able to complete half of Chapter 3 during this week...

On 9 April 2019, some students are having problem on the title registration, including me and other two friends under Dr Jawad. We just got this list from our FYP coordinator, it stated that the three of us did not register our FYP title yet. Then we meet Dr Jawad to double confirm if he had register it. After that we meet with our FYP coordinator to clarify this matter. Figure 1: 56 FYP 1 Students that not Register FYP Title On 10 April 2019, a lecturer has giving a lecture or workshop on Methodology (Chapter 3), Preliminary Result (Chapter 4) and Abstract Writing. The two hours lecture is held at TTL2.  The Content of Methodology Block Diagram Flowchart Schematic Diagram Simulation Software Plan layout List of Components/Equipment Cost Estimation Gant Chart The Content of Preliminary Result The result may be on testing, simulation or project performance. FYP 1 students do not have to shows overall result. One of these criteria also acceptable...

On Week 8, I also write about Introduction and Literature Review. I did some research and idea to write a good Introduction, as well as Literature Review. Three previous work has been observed to put into the Literature Review. List of Previous Work: Design and Development of a Heart Rate Measuring Device using Fingertip Optical technology Four phases to detect pulse (pulse detection, single extraction, pulse amplification and physical properties) Voice Based Electronic Travelling Aid using Flex Sensor Ultrasonic sensor sense the imminent hindrance Voice system  (APR9600) informed specific instruction Low Cost and Portable Heartbeat Rate Measurement from the Finger Use pulse oximetry device Use microcontroller and a LCD Use C basic compiler and CCS-C (program describe language) Conclusion: All previous work above has been summarize the content and the future work is on progress to write. At the end of this week, I will finish my Literature R...
