Week 9, FYP2 : Progress of the circuit project

 Update week 9

Progress in week 9, I am still working with the main circuit board. Above the circuit, several main components are an Infrared sensor, max30100 sensor, button, and microcontroller. I made a few changes to the project structure by replacing the Arduino UNO with the Nodemcuesp8266 as the microcontroller. Both components have the same features and functions: 

• To process data from other devices and convert it to digital form. 
• The only difference between the two components is in their size.

In addition, I also added a button function on the mainboard, intended to send data to the main page. If the medical officer has the correct data, they need to press the button, and then the data will be sent directly to the cloud.

Here is the picture of the mainboard:

Furthermore, I am also preparing a suitable container/casing to place the project. 

That is all for week 9, thank you.

Week 8, FYP 2: Attend Workshop 4 (Presentation & Defense Proposal)

 Update week 8

For the progress in week 8, I have attended workshop 4 which will explain about Presentation and Defense Proposal for students FYP 1 and FYP 2. Today's workshop will focus on the preparation of Slide Presentation and documentation, final results, and tips & tricks during a presentation. 

Besides that, the most important point that was being highlighted by the lecturer are:

1. Planning

2. Preparing

3. Practicing

4. Presentation

For this semester, the presentation for Final Year Student 2 will be conducted face to face at Gemilang Hall Unikl BMI. Wish us luck!

Week 7, FYP 2: Progress of the circuit project

Update week 7

For the progress of week 7, I try to make a connection of an infrared sensor to the mainboard. It was successful, but still has a minor problems such as:

• cannot detect temperature readings if the sensor is too close to the human.
• place a sensor at least 1 cm from the finger or other place of measure, to get the reading.

This sensor is quite sensitive, so it needs to be handled carefully as to avoid any malfunction or zero reading. Besides that, the characteristic of this sensor is to emit an infrared energy beam focused by a lens onto a surface to detect the surface or object's temperature.  The reflected beam is received back in the sensor which converts the energy into an electrical signal that can be displayed in units of temperature.

That's all for this week, till we meet again. See ya!

 

Week 6, FYP 2 : Changing the component(Infrared thermometer temperature sensor)

Update for Week 6

For an update on week 6, currently, I'm still working on my project in the hardware part. As you can see from my previous post, I have do mention a problem with a Blood pressure sensor. I have failed to troubleshoot the sensor when I want it to connect with the Arduino microcontroller. The sensor is not showing any output (systolic and diastolic) from the measurement. I try to figure out the other method to work on this sensor, but it is still not working. 

At last, I discuss with my supervisor about changing the components using an Infrared thermometer temperature sensor in the project. The component can be seen in the picture below:
