Table 3 Infrared sensor working function’s result

FYP PROGRESS 2 - WEEK 10

Title of activity

-   Code test and error and the development of light detection system

Objective

1.  Finalize and play with the project code for automatic gate control and obstacle avoidance system

2. Develop the light detection system.

Content

 Code test and develop for better result

Light detection system development

FYP PROGRESS 2 - WEEK 9

Title of activity

-   Assemble automatic gate control system on project board

Objective

1.  Start build the project

2.  Build the electric train traction overhead line.

Content

Servo motor will open and closed as the train detected by the infrared sensor. the arduino onboard of the train will turned on when the voltage flow from the overhead line through the it and flow into arduino which will make the ultrasonic function and relay function

FYP PROGRESS 2 - WEEK 8

Title of activity

-   Survey the project landscape's material

Objective

1. To find good material for project's environment and landscape

2. Produce flock which make from sawdust and acrylic paint/dye

Content

Above material was found at weststar shop near achik printing at taman melawati, but the flock grass are not found here, only grass static is availabel.

Thus, i make my own flock which represent the grass and terrain, its were make from sawdust and some paint (acrylic type). The fish pond were made from clay and aluminium with some rock. The water inside it still not decide yet.

FYP PROGRESS 2 - WEEK 7

Title of activity

-   Testing the function of obstacle avoidance on track and attend FYP 2 briefing by Sir Kanendra Naidu

Objective

1.  Reduce train weight as it effect the train performance

2. FYP 2 briefing is about FYP Report Writing Skills which Sir Kanendra Naidu talk about Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 Final Report.

Content

The relay position are on the bottom of train to minimize the space. the relay will trigger and stop the flow of voltage / connection for battery inside the train, thus the train will stop as the obstacle detected.

FYP PROGRESS 2 - WEEK 6

Title of activity

-   To test the obstacle avoidance system

Objective

1.  To make train stop when it detecting any obstacle in front of the train.

2. Find and create the best code for obstacle avoidance system

Content

Above video show the working of obstacle avoidance concept when train detect any presence of obstacle in front of the train

FYP PROGRESS 2 - WEEK 5

Title of activity

-   Test the servo motor with infrared sensor

Objective

1.  To run the program coded on the hardware

2.  Try and testing the automation gate controller system

Content

Above video is about the result of infared sensor detecting the obstacle or train which will trigger and give signal to arduino to process the output result to servo motor to be working.

FYP PROGRESS 2 - WEEK 4

Title of activity

-  Discussion and update with Supervisor

Objective

- Consultation process

Content

We updated our progress and future progress of our project. 

FYP PROGRESS 2 - WEEK 3

Title of activity

-   Arduino Uno's Software Programming

Objective

1.  Understand, investigate and recognize the input and output pin of about the Arduino Uno Controller.

2.  Reviews in studying and understanding the basic examples of the Arduino coding of the Arduino Uno's           Software Programming

Content

As in figure 1, is the programing of the Arduino where can be download here http://www.arduino.cc/. The software is freeware.

Result & Analysis:

The figure 2, show that the led blinking. The coding of blinking has been download to my Arduino Uno board.

FYP PROGRESS 2 - WEEK 2

Title of activity

-  Finalise the method going to be used 

Objective

- Planning for Hardware Development

Content

After decisions made, i have determined to create the train system which using simple sensor such as ultrasonic sensor, infrared sensor and automatic gate controller using servo motor. This is the basic concept.

In advanced, if i have enough time, the project will get more feature and function.

FYP PROGRESS 2 - WEEK 1

Title of activity

-  Final Year Project 2 

Objective

- To finalize and identify the suitable software to be used for Final Year Project 2.

Content

The first week is about more research and redefine the methods to create the system. After further research, i realize that, my project are suitable for educational purpose for student and people to learn. Which also promoting the uses of arduino mechanism and concept.
