Week 32 (FYP 2): Chapter 4 (Result and Discussion)

OBJECTIVES: 1. To show the result for this project.
            2. To describe in detail the process of this system.
            3. To explain the function of the component used.

METHODOLOGY: 1. Show the results for every part.
             2. Show the process involved to make this project.
             3. Explain the problem happened during making this project.

RESULT:

Figure 42: Chapter 4(Result and Discussion)

ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION: In this chapter, the functionality of each component used have been described in more details. Besides,the process involved in order to make this project have been explained and there is a few problems happened during the process. Before the presentation day, the relay did not function well. Luckily, there is still times for me to change the relay and it can function well during the presentation.

CONCLUSION: From this chapter, all the results for this project have been shown. The objectives are achieved.

Week 31 (FYP 2): Presentation Day

OBJECTIVES: 1. To present the poster and hardware(project) to my assessors.

           2. To know the comment and feedback about my project from assessors.

METHODOLOGY: 1. Briefly explain the poster to assessors.

            2. Demonstrate the system(hardware) of the project to assessors.

RESULT:

ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION: During the industrial day, Development of Internet of Things (IOT) of Garden Watering System has been presented. The system applied for this project has been explained in details to assessors. The poster helped me to explain about the block diagram and flowchart of this project.

CONCLUSION: The objectives are achieved. I have presented my poster and project to my assessors. Now, i need to focus on the report writing to be submitted to my supervisor.

Week 30 (FYP 2): Preparation for Industrial Day

OBJECTIVES: 1. To do a poster for presentation in A1 size.

           2. To have an approval from supervisor for the poster.

METHODOLOGY: 1. Design the poster using Power Point.

           2. Show the draft of the poster to supervisor to check it before print.

             3. Print the poster for presentation day.

RESULT:

Figure 38: Poster for Plant Watering System

ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION: Before print the poster, I double checked with my supervisor if there is anything that I should add or changed in the poster. After my supervisor satisfied with the poster, then only i printed it.

CONCLUSION: The poster have successfully done. All the details about the project are being listed in the poster as a reference for my assessors during presentation day.

Week 29 (FYP 2): Design the model for the project

OBJECTIVES: 1. To design the project on the wooden planks.
            2. Decorate the place to put the plants.

METHODOLOGY: 1. Prepare the plywood to put the system on it.
             2. Measure and cut the wood into a suitable size.
             3. Put a wallpaper sticker to make the design more attractive.

RESULT:

Figure 39: The project is done

ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION: The first step to design the project is by measuring the wood and cut them with a suitable size. This is because if the housing is too big, it will be difficult to me to bring the project during presentation day. After that, to make the design more attractive and neat, i put a wallpaper sticker on the plywood. Then i arrange the system and component properly so that my assessors can see the system.

CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the model and hardware is done and ready to be presented for my assessors.

Week 28: Set up the Hardware

OBJECTIVES: 1. To set up the hardware for my project.
            2. To solder the component on a strip board.

METHODOLOGY: 1. Connect the NodeMCU with the relay.
             2. Connect relay with water pump motor.
             3. Soil moisture sensor is connected with the NodeMCU.
             4. Set up Blynk application with the system.

RESULT:

Figure 33: Set up the hardware (before soldering)

Figure 34: The hardware after soldering on strip board

Figure 35: Display on Blynk application

ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION: When the sensor detected the moisture of the soil, the led on the sensor will turn on. However, when the sensor detect the soil is dry, the led on the sensor will turn off and it will trigger the motor to on and pump the water. When the sensor detected the moisture of the soil, it will send the signal to NodeMCUand it will send the status of the plants on Blynk apps.

CONCLUSION: All the objectives are achieved. The hardware is successfully set up and all the components have been solder.
