Week 1 - Improvement of the project.

-

    For the first week of Final Year Project 2 (FYP 2) progression, I reviewed the comments given by the assessors on my project during the project presentation of Final Year Project 1. The comments are supposed to help improve the project.

    The improvement to be made is the addition of a relay into the circuit. Relays are the switches that aim at closing and opening the circuits electronically as well as electromechanically. It controls the opening and closing of the circuit contacts of an electronic circuit. The relay is used to control the opening and closing of the solenoid door lock. Also, 3 double A batteries with a total of 12v are used to supply power to the solenoid door lock.

    The second improvement to be made is for the GSM to be having two-way communication with the user. Currently, the GSM only function to send alert notification to the user if an unauthorized person is trying to enter the door. So for the improvement, the GSM will send and receive commands from the user the lock and unlock the door.

                For this week, I designed the door structure for the project. The design of the door prototype is done by hand. The size of the door is smaller compared to normal doors as the door is only a prototype. The measurements of the components are taken and written in a note. The design and measurements are then taken to a local carpenter to cut the planks and woods to assemble the door. 2 door hinges are used so that the door can be opened and closed. A door handle is screwed to the door so that users can grab the handle to open the door. All components are screwed inside the door securely so that they do not move around and get damaged.

           For this week, I submitted the draft of the technical report and final year project report to Sir Izwan. The purpose of submitting the report is so that the supervisors can help the student check their report format and contents, and to help check the plagiarism percentage before submitting the real report. The percentage should not exceed 30% as told during the final year project briefing. The draft report of this project scored 14% after doing the plagiarism check.          I also did the presentation slides for the final year project presentation. The content of the slides was taken from the final year project report. The slides were arranged following the guideline given by the final year project coordinator.
