Progress

Progress yg telah kami buat adalah dalam menukarkan circuit kami daripada breadboard kepada pcb board. Operation di atas breadboard tidak berjaya kerana masih ada certain component yg tidak dijumpai seperti transistor dan controller. Masalah ini merencatkan perjalanan project ini. Usaha untuk transfer kepada pcb board juga mengalami masalah apabila software yg kami gunakan bertukar-tukar moodnya. Mungkin akibat daripada kejahilan kami menggunakan ultiboard atau kecacatan pada software tersebut. Kini kami ingin menggunakan pcb wizard dan masih mencari software tersebut.

Kami juga masih dalam usaha mencari input2 yg akan kami presentkan apabila sem bermula nanti. Semoga berjaya.

Automated Clothesline

Design kat atas adalah design asal project nie yang mana sebelah hujung clothesline ditahan oleh dinding, manakala sebelah hujung yg satu lagi ditahan oleh tiang besi. Figure utk keadaan yg lebih terperinci lagi:

Design motor yang akan dimasukkan dlm Clothesline

Perincian berkenaan motor dalam Clothesline

Perancangan kami selepas design basic nie selesai adalah dengan mengdesign clothesline cam video kat bawah nie. Memang nmpk menarik dan menyenangkan, cume kami tambah element-element tambahan kami ini.




Setelah perbincangan dgn sir, ktrg rasa yang design nie tak brape sesuai bagi orang2 yang menginginkan Clothesline yang boleh disesuaikan dgn keadaan rumah yang sempit. Maka dengan ini, ktrg rangka satu lagi design clothesline yang membolehkannya diletakkan di tmpt yang sempit selain bentuknya yg amat comel.

Pandangan 45 darjah dari atas hadapan..haha (maaf gambar x bape clear)

Pandangan depan

Berkenaan motor yang nk dimasukkan dlm design nie masih lagi dalam pemerhatian kami. Mmg agak ssh skit operation die, tp kami cube mencari jalan penyelesaian.

sun detector

The circuit works as follows. The photo transistor is very sensitive to light. (Any phototransistor will work fine) The sun shining on this device will provide a high to one of the NAND gates. This will cause another NAND gate to oscillate which will drive another gate to output a 100hz tone. The transistor provides drive for the speaker.

p/s: ni belom consult lg dgn sir. tp da mule working on it. moga2 dipermudahkan. amin

stepper motor and rain detector

ni approved version dr sir.

Rain detector:

p/s: ade due yg di usulkan. satu sgt complicated. tp sir prefer yg simple ini. so gudnews for me.

Stepper motor:

p/s: circuit explain utk stepper motor sgt pnjg. explanation ade pd author.

byk bende blajar pas jumpe sir last week.

1st: study before present circuit

2nd: study n prepare before jumpe sir.

same je due2 tu pon. so skang ni jgn maen present je. kene study background research tu dl br present. sir ckp "ha tgk xstudy dulu la tu. canne nk dpt 4.0 ni"...

hambek sebijik kene. ok next meeting ngn sir kene sgt2 prepare.

updated survey

the previous survey byk yg kene amend. so kali ni nk post yg updated nye. tp x approve lg. once da approved br la kami sebar2kan survey itu utk tatapan org ramai.

Perlancaran Blog

Assalamualaikum pembuka bicara..

Tahniah di atas perlancaran blog nie. Apa yang diharapkan adalah blog nie akan sentiasa diupdatekan dari masa ke masa bagi melaporkan segala peristiwa dalam pembikinan project kami yang bertajuk "Design of Wireless Automated Clothesline with Rain Detector". Memang kalu tgk tajuk pon rasenyer ramai yang akan tergelak. Tapi takpe, asalkan objective asal ktrg tuk menambahkan pengetahuan kami dalam bidang nie akan tercapai.

Project nie ideanya datang dari pemerhatian kami ketika Wajadiri yang telah diadakan di Sarawak tempoh hari semasa lawatan ke booth budak-budak yg baru meningkat umur. Design yg derang wat mmg simple tp sedikit sebyk membantu ktrg tuk jalankan project nie. Hasrat berani ktrg tuk proposed tajuk nie Alhamdullillah berjaya walaupun tarikh tutup tuk proposed tajuk dh pon tamat. Terima kasih kat advisor ktrg, Mr Khairil Anuar sbb byk bg support tuk project nie. Kalu nk tau, die lar yg bertungkus-lumus carik tajuk yg sesuai tuk project ktrg nie.

Ade yg kate yg ktrg nie wat keje bodo jer proposed tajuk, tp last-last baru ktrg sedar yg sbenarnyer ktrg dh wat satu keputusan yg bagus. Sedang dak2 ngh sibuk carik tajuk, ktrg dah leh start project dah. Ade yg ktrg dgr smpi tarikh tutup tuk reg fyp pon masih ade segelintir student kat luar tue yg takpat tajuk lg. Syukur Alhamdulillah. So, sebagai permulaan ktrg sendiri pon tak tau canne nk start project nie. Tp idea tue ade lar skit. Ktrg devide project nie kepada dua yg mana Ezwan akan amek part machine n Fiena lak amek part detector dan controller.

Project macam nie, kebanyakan kite slalu dengar perkataan sediakan payung sebelum hujan kan. Kire same lar cam project nie. Cume project nie jauhkan pakaian anda bile hujan agak2 nk sampai membasahi baju kite. Apa yg cube ditambah dalam project nie dan perbezaannya dengan ampaian2 yg len adalah die akan sendirinya bergerak bile hujan tibe, takpon kite leh gune wireless remote control tuk bawak masuk pakaian tue. So nie memudahkan orang-orang kat luar sane bile derang busy bekerja or ngh keluar bersuka-ria bersama keluarga di luar. Takyah duk risau2 pasal baju derang yg basah tue.

First step ktrg adalah jumpe lect tuk dapat idea skit pasal project nie memandangkan die mmg arif pasal mende nie. Bile jumpe lecturer, perkara first yg ktrg kene wat adalah isi borang CV and nnt serahkan balek kat dia next week and ktrg kene lengkapkan lagi aper yang ade dlm proposal ktrg, sediakan general layout tuk project nie dan sediakan dengan specific timeline ktrg tuk project nie. Harapan advisor ktrg supaya ktrg dapat siapkan project nie awal, so nnt senang lar nak enhance pe-pe yg patut. Lecnyer citer2 kalu ktrg dpt wat automated clothesline yg dapat dikawal melalui henpon. Tue ade gune java. Ada programming skit lar. Tp aper yg penting, basic nye application kene berjaya lu baru leh tambah2 skit.

Ktrg dimintak wat market stadi tuk nk tau pasaran and feedback org ramai pasal project ktrg nie. Nie tindakan awal, so lepas siap sume nnt die mintak ktrg bukak booth dan tunjukkan kat org ramai product ktrg nie and mintak comment dr derang. Bile dah wat market stady yg awal tue, ktrg dimintak wat component research skit pasal project ktrg. Selain leh tau function every component needed, ktrg leh jugak wat budget tuk beli component2 tue. Pastu baru leh gerak g Jalan Pasar survey component n beli barang2 yg diperlukan.

First market survey ktrg, ktrg dh dpt kutukan skit dari seseorang yg rapat dengan ktrg. Kalu sesaper yg dengar kutukan tue pasti downnyer. Die ckp yg mende nie dh biase sgt dan die harapkan lebih dr apa yg ktrg harapkan nie. Tp kutukan membina tue skit sebyk menaikkan semangat ktrg tuk jayakan project nie ngn success skali. Tp btul jugak ape yg dicadangkan tue. Ni lar dikatakan kutukan yg membina yg mana kutukan nie bukanlah kutukan kosong semata-mata tp kutukan beserta dengan solutionnya skali dan terserah kat seseorang tue tuk menilainya. Kalu positive ape yg difikirkannya, maka posotivelah ape yg bakal diterima. Jika berfikiran sebaliknya, maka sebaliknyalah ape yg diterima. Tp bagi saya yg masih lg mentah dlm dunia nie, sy memikirkan bahawa project nie sbg titik permulaan tuk menjalankan sesuatu yg lebih. Memang kita tak boleh nk salahkan sesiapa tetapi setiap org mempunyai pemikiran mereka tersendiri dan mana yg baik itulah yg kita ambil tuk dapatkan result yg lebih baek.
