Week 12

Breadboard failure discovered after several troubleshooting. It has many intermittance produced within the board.Action taken is buy new breadboard and reconstruct the overall circuit. By using DipTrace software, the PCB layout can be produced without putting more effort to measure each components dimension to determined its own pin configuration. Next step involve the cutting and etching...

Week 11

Through out this week, some unexpected error occurs with the LCD component. It suddenly display some unknown symbol to understand. LED backlight still on and function properly. Research on the internet and consultation with the supervisor were done, to find the solution for the error. After 3 days of troubleshooting, the solution was found by consulting and findings during consultation with my friend. It is because the declaration and connection of LCD pin must be parallel with each other in order to make it fully function. Other works and development...

Week 10

For mechanical development, sensor holder has arrived from Kota Bharu through courier. Both sensor plate were checked thoroughly to make sure there is no error or wrong position of placement at mechanical plate. After inspection process, 2 dimension hole were made on he main steel plate. These dimension were measured accordingly on sensor holder. And lastly, the overall circuit was sketched...

Week 9

For display, several testing were attempt to visualize for each function. There are to possible ways to visualize the the function, by using serial monitor or Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). All connection of each LCD pin were followed based on Arduino tutorial. The LCD function correctly as desired and supposed to be. After consultation with co-supervisors, sir Zulkifli Mahmoodin and sir Hisham,...
