Presentation Day

On 17 of December 2014, that day is presentation day for all FYP2 student whether Bachelor or Diploma. There had some pictures and on that day is the most best memory in UniKL BMI with friends.

Design Poster

This week is time to get ready for my Final Year Project 2 (FYP2) presentation. I design my own poster based on format that had been given on FYP2 briefing and the poster can be seen on Figure 17

Combination for All Hardware

This process is to arrange the hardware on black box. Figure 14 and Figure 15 shows how the hardware are be arrange. Black box will placed on car dashboard while ultrasonic will placed in front of the car. On Figure 16, there is the position for this project should be placed.

Making Hardware Casing

This week, I making hardware's casing. There have 2 boxes for this project which is 1 big box and 1 small box. Arduino mega, GPS, LCD and buzzer are placed in big box while ultrasonic is placed on small box.

Interfacing GPS with Laptop using USB to UART Converter

This week I am testing my GPS module whether function or not. To testing, GPS need to interface with laptop or PC but GPS cannot direct connected into laptop. GPS should using USB to UART converter for interface with laptop. This is because GPS produce serial data output and laptop cannot read the serial output. To obtain data, GPS should take 15-20 minutes to connect to the satellite in space. Additionally, GPS requires at least 3-4 satellites to get the GPS position location. Figure 6 and Figure 6.1 shows the connection between GPS, USB to UART converter and laptop. Figure 7 shows output by using Hyper Terminal software. Figure 8 shows output by using MiniGPS software and Figure 9 shows output by using GPS Locator Utility software. There has some video to show the output for GPS on Video 1.

Construct Circuit and Testing for Combination of Ultrasonic Sensor and LCD

This week is continuing from the previous few weeks about Ultrasonic and LCD. This week I construct circuit for combination of Ultrasonic sensor and LCD. Figure 4 shows the connection of the circuit and the result had been shown on Figure 5.
