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. 

week 11

In this project,i use RFID reader RS232. i do not neeed to connect the reader with PIC since the reader has interphase inside it. so the reader can communicate with the PC just by using the USB converter. These ports are used for the transmission (TX) and reception (RX) of data. These transmissions possible with help of various digital data transceiver modules like RF, IR, Bluetooth, etc.

RFID-IDR-232N is plug and use RFID reader. It has been designed with capabilities and features
of:
• Low cost solution for reading passive RFID transponder tags.
• Industrial grade casing for better outlook and protection.
• Every reader has been tested before is being shipped.
• 9600 baud RS232 serial interface (output only) to PC.
• Fully operation with 5VDC power supply from USB port.
• Buzzer as sound indication of activity.
• Red and green color LED for visual indication of activity.
• Standard RS232 serial cable (female) ready to plug to desktop PC.
• USB as power source from desktop PC.
• 2cm reading range.
• 0.1s response time.
• 12 bytes of data received include start of heading, RFID ID and start of text.

RFID-IDR-232N is fully working RFID tags reader and can be applied in:
• Security system.
• Car parking.
• Office.
• Hypermarket for item pricing.
• Student projects



RFID-IDR-232N power source is from USB connection. There is no communication
through USB connector, only 5V is taken from this connector. The communication line is
RS232 cable (serial port with female DB9).

The use of RFID reader in my project.

week 10

At this post,i will display the box (data)  that will be display at the vb.

week 9

The USB converter has been use in this project because of the GSM modem itself only be able to connect with serial. The USB converter to serial extremely need to connect the server to GSM modem. After hardware been connected, hyper terminal application take over to drive the connection. To make sure the connection really establish. Hardware and software communication port of number must be the same. Communication port known as COM port can verify through the device manager. From there, the number of COM port will be know. The later on, set up the connection using the hyperterminal same with. In hyperterminal, to make sure all the parameter in properties of connection according to need. The most important parameter are baundrate value that is 115200 bits per second should be select and flow control must be select to hardware. This parameter is required in order to establish the connection. ASCII format also need to set in ASCII set up in order for the format to work. Make sure all the parameter selected as required. After all the connection and parameter has been setup, the command can be apply in hyper terminal window.

week 8

UNDERSTANDING CONTROL - BUTTON AND TEXT BOX

The first step in creating a new 

VB2010 project is to design the 

interface of the application. You 

design an interface by adding 

controls to the form and then set 

their properties. You can add 

controls from the Toolbox. To see 

the Toolbox window, you can use 

the short-cut keys Ctrl+Alt+X or click 

on the Toolbox icon on the toolbar 

on top of the designer environment. 

The Toolbox consists of many 

useful controls such as Button, 

TextBox, Label, ComboBox, 

CheckBox and more. 

week 7

 For this entry,i will write about the program. i'm using Visual basic 2010

The IDE consists of a few panes, namely :   

   

• The Recent Projects Pane- it shows the list of projects that you have created 

recently.    

• The Get Started Pane- It provides some helpful tips so that you can quickly 

develop your new application. 

• The Latest News pane- It provides latest online news about Visual Basic 2010 

Express. It will announce new releases and updates.

• Form : 

          The Form is the first place to build your application. It is the place to  design the user interface.

• Solution Explorer : 

          The solution explorer displays a list of projects, files and other components that you can easily browse            and access.

• Properties Window : 

         This is the place to set the properties of the objects in your application. The objects include the default form and the controls you place in the form. We will learn more about setting properties later.
