Week 6

Title

• Learn Arduino programmed
• Arduino can be used to measure heart rate and the coding is open source

Objective

• We need to learn and understand all the function in Arduino programming which used c++

Content/procedure

• Search in the internet about arduino in term of the programming sketch, example programming of arduino

Result/Analysis

• Arduino is simple and easy to use. When power up the board, the code runs; when you want to stop,  just turn it off.
• Arduino expects two functions to exists—one called setup() and one called loop().

ü  setup() is where you put all the code that you want to execute once at the beginning of your program

ü  loop() contains the core of your program, which is executed over and over again. 

Conclusion

• Arduino Uno is used C++ code and used IC Atmega 328 which is not expensive.
• The code is open source which means we can get the code from the internet but we need alter the code suitable for our project

Week 5

Final Year Project Briefing 3

Venue: TTL 1
Date 16/2/2012
Time:3.00 pm

• Today,FYP briefing concern on how to produce good report and what must be included in final report.
• This briefing is very important because its explain details on preparing final report.
• But,there is a news that student FYP need to update their blog EVERY DAY!

Final report should have 5 basic component:

• Introduction
• Litreature Review
• Methodology
• Result
• Conclusion

Week 4

Title

• Collect order Adxl 335 accelerometer from Sims Supplier
• Testing Arduino Uno Board+Adxl 335

Objectives

• to testing Arduino Uno and Acelerometer Adxl 335

Content/procedure

• By following the connection shown from the internet bildr ,I succesfully get the result at serial port.

Result and analysis

• Found that my Adxl 335 works!When I try to tilt and move back and forth,the accelerometer result increase.

Conclusion

• Im still working to find coding to connect the accelerometer+arduino and LCD together since my result(Heart Rate) will be display on the LCD.

Week 3

Title

• Buy Arduino Uno at Jalan Pasar
• Testing arduino Uno Board

Objectives

• to testing Arduino Uno Board following tutorial in the internet

 Content/procedure

• Install Arduino Uno in the lap top
• By following the connection shown from the tutorial ,I succesfully display “Hello World” on the LCD by myself.

 Result and analysis

• Found that my Arduino Uno and Liquid Crystal Display working well.
• Since Arduino is open source I learn so much things by it.

Several project that can be done by using Arduino:

•  LED fade
•  Testing Motor

(This 2 project has been done at Sir Zul actuator class)

Conclusion

• Since many project can be done by using Arduino,I am little bit confident that my project will be successful but I need to find Arduino coding first  for the heart rate.

• I also need to waiting for my Accelerometer sensor that I have already ordered 

Display "Hello World!"
