WEEK 5 (FYP 1)

PREPARING GANTT CHART

I have meet my supervisor on 28/8/17. We started doing gantt chart for FYP, including 2 semester. Start from survey, literature review, blog, design (software), simulation, design (hardware), testing, presentation and FYP report.

So i need to follow the schedule to keep my self on track.... ☺

LITERATURE REVIEW

Journal 1

This week i have make some research about Raspberry Pi. 

What is the Raspberry Pi? It have a tasty name... 😋

Raspberry Pi is a small, barebones computer developed by The Raspberry Pi Foundation, a UK charity, with the intention of providing low-cost computers and free software to students. Their ultimate goal is to foster computer science education and they hope that this small, affordable computer will be a tool that enables that.

Why is it called Raspberry Pi?
The "Raspberry" derives is an homage to early computer being named after fruit, like Apple, Tangerine Computer Systems, Apricot Computers, and Acorn (which inspired the microcomputer's design). The "Pi" derives from the original idea to make a small computer to run only the Phyton programming language.

When was Raspberry Pi launced?
The first commercially available Raspberry Pi unit was launced on February 19, 2012 and sales started ten days later. This version could run Linux-based desktop operating systems, and featured 256MB of RAM, one USB port and no Ethernet port. This was named the model A.

What's the difference between Raspberry Pi models?
Raspberry Pi models can be a bit confusing. There are two levels to the naming system. Pi 1, Pi 2 and Pi 3 indicate the "generation" of the model, where roughly Pi 1 is 2012-14 models, Pi 2 is 2015 models, and Pi 3 is 2016 models. So 3 is better than 2, which is better than 1.

Where are Raspberry Pi's used?
The Raspberry Pi has won hearts all across the globe, from astronauts to hobbyists. In fact, right now, there are two Raspberry Pi's orbiting the Earth, conducting experiments abroad the International Space Station.

What is a Raspberry Pi good for?
Regular people can use the Raspberry Pi in a wide variety of tasks. It's perfect for projects where you need a computer but don't require much processing power, want to save on space and keep the costs low.

Hopefully, those point that i have share can answer all the major questions you have had about Raspberry Pi.

WEEK 4 (FYP 1)

1ST FINAL YEAR PROJECT BRIEFING

The first briefing was conducted in TTL 1 and the attendance of all FYP 1 student is compulsory. The briefing was conducted by Dr. Siti Marwangi Binti Mohamad Mahrum and Dr. Imran Mohammad Sofi.

Date : 25 August 2017

Vanue : TTL 1

Time : 3.00 pm - 5.00 pm

In this briefing, the FYP committees have briefed us about :

• Code of subject FYP and student should propose the project title to their supervisor to be register before week 7.
• Assessment that need to be cover in FYP 1 is Progress Report (Logbook / Blog), presentation and Project Proposal.
• Factors that affecting good FYPs.
• Points to consider when selecting FYP supervisor.
• Point to consider when selecting FYP title.
• Content in FYP proposal report.
• FYP activities for this semester.

Student are required to select the project title. But sometimes student can also accept the project that been offered by their supervisor.... ☺

LITERATURE REVIEW

Journal 1

I have make some research about the journal that related to my project. I will share some knowledge that I learn. In this journal, the researchers use IoT. What is IoT?

Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

A thing, in the internet of Things, can be a person with a heart monitor implant, a farm animal with a biochip transponder, an automobile that has built-in sensors to alert the driver when tire pressure is low, or any other natural or man-made object that can be assigned an IP address and provided with the ability to transfer data over a network.

Practical applications of IoT technology can be found in many industries today, including precision agricultural, building management, healthcare, energy and transportation. Although the concept wasn't named until 1999, the Internet of Things has been in development for decades. The first internet appliance, for example, was a Coke machine at Carnegie Melon University in the early 1980s. The programmers could connect to the machine over the internet, check the status of the machine and determine whether or not there would be a cold drink awaiting them, should the decide to make the trip down to the machine.

I hope that after reading this, you guys also got new benefits knowledge.... ☺

WEEK 3 (FYP 1)

DECIDING PROJECT TITLE

This week i have meet my supervisor to decide the title for my FYP. And my supervisor decide to meet together with my co-supervisor. My co-supervisor suggest me to do something about Smart Home. He suggest me to do Water Pump Pressure system. So i have search the problem, needs, wants and solution about this project.

The project for my FYP has been decided. I need to study more to proceed.... ☺

WEEK 2 (FYP 1)

SURVEYING FYP PROJECT

FYP is compulsory and a major course to all undergraduate students in order to complete the undergraduate programs in UniKL. Duration for FYP Degree is 2 semesters. FYP 1 for 1 semester, FYP 2 for another 1 semester. Student need to works individually to implement a project.

Student have to find their own supervisor that can guide them during completing fyp. I have choose Sir Syamsul Adlan Mahrim as my FYP supervisor. He taught me Electronic subject in my previous semester. Besides that, he has also assign me under Assoc. Prof. Dr. Zulkifli Abdul Kadir Bakti as my co-supervisor.

I has browsing the internet to get some idea about FYP project. My supervisor ask me to find few title and we will decide later.... ☺
