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.

WEEK 7

TITLE: research about DC motor

on this weak im doing some research about DC motor so that i can solution to increase the voltage from the output. as we know the DC motor use to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy electrified via its outputs. before choose the DC motor there have 4 detail we need to pay attention.

• power selection
• power requirement
• blade design
• motor power 

WEEK 6

TITLE: research for booster component

for this week im doing research about booster component. as we know booster is DC-DC power converter with an output voltage greater than its input voltage. based on the method i had been done  the voltage that i got from the output is too small. so i need to use and search the suitable booster to get at least 5v. the booster that i have been chosen is step up DC-DC 5v,600mA and minum voltage is 0.9v.

booster component DC-DC

WEEK 5

TITLE: doing research for current sensor

for this week im doing some research for current sensor. Current sensor is useable component in my project this is because current sensor able give precise current measurement for AC and DC. Based on my research i choice 50A current sensor(AC/DC) for my project. this current sensor enables me to monitor current in my project.

example of current sensor

WEEK 4

Title: learning my programming language (Arduino)


As we know language program(Arduino) use to collect the data from the output. so on this week i try to learn my programming language this because i need to understand how my programming language get connected with my output so that i can display and control my output using my software. so this week im gonna learn the basic language for arduino.

Void setup() 

{
  // initialize serial communication at 9600 bits per second:
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
  // read the input on analog pin 0:
  int sensorValue = analogRead(A0);
  // print out the value you read:
  Serial.println(sensorValue);
  delay(1);   

WEEK 3

TITLE: TESTING MY PROJECT


for this week im done my task which is testing my project. previous week im using two cooler fan but same air flow. but this week im gonna use two cooler fan also but the input fan i use another cooler fan which is the air flow more large than before. after done testing, the output i get just the little bit different from before which is i get only  0.9V. so i need research and testing again with another method to get at least 5V output.

WEEK 2

TITLE: TESTING AND RESEARCH

For this week doing some research and testing for my project.  I want to get the output from cooler fan 2. Based on my testing and research which is using only two cooler fans I only get the maximum voltage output is 0.85v while the source i only get 0.7V. So I need to find another method to get the output voltage at least 5v.  

cooler fan use for my project

cooler fan had been finish testing with my first method 

WEEK 1

TITLE: DESIGN MY PROJECT

For this week I try to design my project and choosing the suitable items for my project. Based on my project I need to get wind as much as so that cooler fan 3(output) can produce high voltage and current. So I think the suitable item to use is Styrofoam. Styrofoam is very suitable because it impermeable and easy to design.
