INDUSTRY DAY

The day of finale has come as we all need to present our FYP result to our selected assessor. Each of the student will be assessed by two lecture and the lecture who assessing me is:

~ Madam Ainur
~ Madam Nurul Husna

I've been assessed well by the lectures asking about the methodology and also the result of the project, i manage to show them the project well. after this i need to complete my full thesis which will be submitted at the end of semester. 

week 14

picture of RFID wireless circuit.

WIRELESS RFID SYSTEM

The model of RFID reader used here is RFID reader 232N (RFID-IDR-232N) which actually can be connected to PC directly through RS232 using the DB9 (Male) of its cable for sending tag’s IDs scanned to computer.Somehow, the establishment of a wireless RFID  reader enable the RFID reader to be place a t a further distance from the PC since the cable length constraint is eliminated but still can sends the tag’s IDs scanned to PC through the wireless link. This consequently improve the RFID reader portability. The wireless module used in this project is XBee. In order to simplify the process of setting up the circuit of wireless RFID reader, XBee Starter Kit, SKXBEE (with XBee module) is used instead since it consists of onboard logic shifter that allow UART communication with 5V device while XBee is 3.3V device and RS232 chip combined USB port that allow  direct communication between  computer and XBee. Bascally, the concept of wireless RFID reader can be illustrated by the flow diagram below.

Figure 1: Flow diagram of wireless RFID reader

As seen from Figure 1, the USB (Male) of RFID reader cable will be connected to 5V supply output of Breadboard Power Stick 5V 3v3 (BPS-5-3) through using a Breakout USB Type A Female (BB-USB-AR) so it will be power up when the wireless RFID reader circuit is turn on (by turn on the power adapter DC 12V connected to BPS-5-3). While, SKXBEE#1 (with XBee #1) is connected to PC with direct communication between them using USB cable. The RFID reader is also connected to wireless RFID circuit through Female RS232 cable and UART to RS232 converter (URS232A). The wireless RFID circuit contains SKXBEE# 2 (with XBee #2).

When the ready connected circuit is power up, pre-configured XBee#1 and XBee#2 will associate with each other to establish wireless link for communication. Also, the RFID reader is ready to scan the RFID card (which contains 10 digit ID stored electronically inside it). The ID info will be read by RFID reader, and then transmitted to XBEE#2 through URS232A. Next, through the wireless link, the ID info will be sent from XBee #2 to XBee #1. As the XBee #1 received the ID info, it will send it to hyperterminal of PC for displaying. Amazing, isn’t it? Well, let’s start!!

POSTER

In this week, i finish the poster and do  interesting and easier to be read. The characteristic of good poster must have the below value:

• Objective
• Application
• Advantages
• Block diagram and Flow chart
• Result
• References

This is the poster about my project

week 13

I meet with my advisor to show her my project. i receive a lot of comment to improve my project and also some tips on how to answer accessor question. Below is the picture of result.

For user Nurul Mastura : 

Data for Nuraini :

Data for unknow card : 

GSM troubleshoot

in this project, i use Wavecom Fastrack Modem M1206. after completing the VB program and set up all the hardware, i find out that the gsm modem led is not blinking. the sms notification cannot be send to te respective number. i try to reset the setting and refer to lecturer and finally it can be fixed. i meet with my supervisor to mention about this problem.

fyp 2 briefing

On 18october we had our second fyp2 briefing at TTL1. On this day, we being told about the claim,poster,fyp report and other. This is very important  to know as we need to follow the instruction on submiting the fyp report. 

Need to submit : 

• 1 FYP submission form
• 1 hardcover copy of FYP report - for library
• 1 spiral-bind copy of FYP report - for supervisor
• softcopy FYP report - submission at rps website

Other than that, we also need to start making poster for our presentation at week 14. We been given the guideline on how to make a good poster that can attract our accessor. the objective, methodology, application,block diagram and the result need to be write clearly as it will help in the marking session.  

Next thing is a about the claim.For degree program,we can claim about RM500 or less.
