FYP 1 (Week 12)

For this week, my supervisor has set a meeting on Wednesday to discuss about the Proposal Defence presentation that was held last week. During the meeting, Madam Azliza asked about the assessor's questions and comments about his students' projects. I told him about the assessor’s comment which is about the decision making for my project that can cause false alarms to users. I have also shown her the latest flowchart of my project. After that, at the end of the meeting, she asked me to send my draft report from chapter 1 to chapter 3. She asked me to send it in week 13 to check for plagiarism before submitting the final proposal report. Therefore, for this week as well, I have rechecked all the contents and drafts I made before sending to Madam Azliza.

FYP 1 (Week 11)

This week is the proposal defense presentation week for FYP 1 students. My assessors for this presentation are Sir Ahmad Basri and Sir Aswadi Alias. The question asked by the assessors when I presented was how my project decision making because my project has a high percentage of giving false alarms. False alarm is very dangerous because it can cause worry to users. Therefore, I have changed how my project works. I have changed my pre-set speed level to 3. For the second level which is intermediate level, the anemometer sensor will measure the wind speed for 3 minutes before sounding the alarm and sending a notification to the user. For the third level, which is the extreme level, if the anemometer detects a very strong wind speed, an alarm will be sounded and a notification will be sent to the user without having to wait 3 minutes as in level 2. This step aims is to reduce the percentage of false alarms.

FYP 1 (Week 10)

For this week, I have started writing chapter 3 which is methodology. In this chapter, I will explain about the block diagram, flowchart and circuit diagram involving software and hardware related to the implementation of my project. Furthermore, this week also I have started and prepared my slide for presentation in week 11. In this slide, I have explain about my project according to the report that I have wrote from chapter 1 to chapter 3.

FYP 1 (Week 9)

For this week, I started writing chapter 2 which is literature review. For this chapter 2, I have used 4 journals that I found at the beginning of this semester. I have started writing a draft for this chapter to make it easier for me to understand about the previous research done by this researcher. By starting to write chapter 2, this will also make it easier for me to present about the literature review later. Below are the results of my research on past projects: -

FYP 1 (Week 8)

For this week, I continued to write the report about the significance, scope and limitations of the project. Then, I continued writing the last part for the chapter 1, which is chapter summary. After finished writing the chapter 1, I send my report to my supervisor for review. This week there is also workshop 4 which explains about the presentation that will be held in the 11th week for FYP 1 students.

Development of Wind Speed Monitoring System using Microcontroller and IoT

Significance of the Project

Malaysia has the Northeast Monsoon season every year which generally occurs between November and March, the wind speed can reach up to 30 knots or the equivalent to 55.56 km/h. This project is very important to help users to monitor the change in wind speed during the season. In addition, this project can also help users prepare ahead of time by alerting them if the wind speed exceeds the appropriate level.

Scope of the Project

This project is suitable for use in residential areas near the beach or in areas with high wind speeds to ensure that changes in wind speeds are always monitored. Furthermore, it is suitable for use in highland areas such as the Cameron highlands due to the geographical conditions that cause the wind speed to increase.

Limitations of the Project

There are many different types of Anemometers on the market, each with its own working principle. Therefore, the selection of anemometer must be appropriate to the use and cost required. Furthermore, the Anemometer must be placed in a high and unobstructed area to ensure that the process of measuring wind speed is accurate.

FYP 1 (Week 7)

For this week, I started writing the report for chapter 1 which is the introduction chapter and have finished writing for the background of the project, problem statement and objectives. This week there is also workshop 3 held on November 23. Workshop 3 explains how to write for chapter 4, chapter 5 and abstract. For chapter 4, this chapter will shows and explain the results obtain for the project. For chapter 5, this chapter will tell conclusively about the use of the project as well as suggested improvements that can be made so that the project can work better. Lastly, An abstract is a concise summary of a research paper or entire thesis.

Development of Wind Speed Monitoring System using Microcontroller and IoT

Background of the Project

Temperature, rain, and wind are the three climate characteristics in Malaysia. The wind has a significant impact because it affects both the temperature and the rain. Residential areas or residences near the coast are particularly vulnerable to natural disasters such as storms, which can cause property damage.

Even though the wind in Malaysia is often weak and variable in direction, the patterns of the wind sometimes change. Based on these changes, four seasons can be identified which is the northeast monsoon, southwest monsoon, and two shorter periods inter-monsoon seasons. As a country surrounded by sea, the effect of both sea and land breezes on the wind pattern is significant, especially on clear days.
