WEEK 14

TITLE: presentation day

for this week im doing my presentation which is conduct in Wednesday. alhamdulillah everything going smooth. on this presentation day, there are two accessor how access me, sir akram and madam nurlida. both of my accessor give positive feedback about my project and there also give me some recommendation for my project in future.after done with my presentation, i need to focus on my final report. :)

WEEK 13

TITLE: prepare my poster and prepare for my presentation

on this week, i'm little bit busy to prepare my poster and do some preparation for my presentation on week 14 . but alhamdulillah, finally im done finishing my task which is to produce my own poster during the presentation on next week. i'm also ready and excited to introduce my project to our accessor.

WEEK 12

TITLE: wiring my hardware and improve my project design

on this week i will try to complete my wiring connection and alhamdulillah i finally finished my wiring project. the component that been used in my project is 2 voltage divider with each of voltage divider has their own function which is the voltage divider used to measure the input and output before the arduino collect and read the data from the voltage divider. besides that, i used component current sensor. this component very useful because its used to monitor current in my project. and lastly arduino UNO 3 component is used to read and collect the data output and input source. after done wiring. im improve my project design which i used colour paper to make my project look tidy and attractive. this week also on Friday i meet my supervisor for testing my project. my supervisor give some tips to improve little bit my project.

WEEK 11

TITLE: study arduino program

on this week im study about my arduino program. Arduino is the main brain of my project so i need to study more deeply on this program. based on my study i can find my solution to read my data from the input source and output source.This data so important this is because the data will send to my visual basic software so that i can show my data in graphically. 

void loop() 
{
     Serial.print("$");
     Serial.print("Read");
     Serial.print(",");
      
      val=analogRead(A0);//This divider module will divide the measured voltage by 5, the maximum voltage it can measure is 25V.
      temp=val/40.92; // 
      val=temp;//
      Serial.print(val);
      Serial.print(",");
      //Serial.print("Volt,");
      //delay(30);
      
      
      a        
     total= total - readings[index];          
     readings[index] = analogRead(A1); //Raw data reading
     readings[index] = (511-readings[index])*5/1024/0.04;//Data processing:510-raw data from analogRead when the input is 0; 5-5v; the first 0.04-0.04V/A(sensitivity); the second 0.04-offset val;
     total= total + readings[index];       
     index = index + 1;                    
     if (index >= numReadings)              
      index = 0;                           
      average = total/numReadings;   //Smoothing algorithm (http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Smoothing)    
      currentValue= average;
      Serial.print(currentValue);
      Serial.print(",");
      //Serial.print("A,");
      //delay(30);
      
      
      power = val*currentValue;
      Serial.print(power); 
      Serial.print(",");
      //Serial.print("Watt,");
        
      
      valout = analogRead(A4);
      
      /*tempout = valout * (1.0 / 1024);
      Serial.print(tempout);
      Serial.print("Volt(OUT)");*/
      tempout=valout/40.92; // 
      valout=tempout;//
      Serial.println(valout);
      //Serial.print(",");
      //Serial.println("Volt(OUT)");
      //delay(30);
      
      delay(100);
      
      
     

}

WEEK 10

TITLE: added new component on my hardware.

based on research in week 6 which is about booster DC-DC i had an idea to increase my voltage output so that i had been modified my project with the booster component. after done testing on my project with my booster component the final output voltage that i get is almost 5v.

WEEK 9

TITLE: testing my project with new method

 Last week my method was fail so for this week im come with my new method. Based on research that i had been made i decide to improve my method with added new component on my cooler fan which is i used DC motor. Based on testing i had been made, this method give some improvement from the others method which is i can increase my voltage output. im so glad to apply this method in my project. this method can work properly and successfully in my project. based on my result i get 2V from the output. im also make cooler fan 2 and fan 3 in parallel connection so that i can increase my current output.

cooler fan 3 had been modified with DC

WEEK 8

TITLE: testing my project with new method

on this week im doing some testing with new method which is i have been modified my cooler fan and added magnet bar at my cooler fan 2. the magnet bar i used is the one of the powerful magnet bar from the others magnet types. My expectation by doing this method it can help me to double up voltage. But unfortunately this method was fail and cant be use in my project. the reason why, this magnet is not suitable to use on my project besides that, this magnet should modified with coil.
