WEEK 2: RUNNING THE WI-FI PROGRAM ON CC3200

I'm testing the CC3200 board with the IoT program which sends the data to the cloud via the server created. At first, i thought there's something wrong with the MQTT user interface because the symbols all have been zoomed in. So i asked for Dr. Zulkhairi and Dr. Masum's help to complete the task. It turns out the MQTT still can be used despite of the zoomed user interface.

Zoomed MQTT lens user interface

The normal MQTT user interface should look just like the picture below:

Next, I need to connect to the server environment using the Node-Red interface. I had to use my own hotspot because it can't work using the bmi's wifi.

Change the wifi variable according to the wifi used to run the program

Despite of the zoomed user interface, i able to successfully complete the task with my supervisors help. The data from the sensors which i tried to display the temperature of the surroundings measured by the built-in temperature sensor from the cloud.

WEEK 1: CUSTOMIZING BLOG AND GANTT CHART

The first week of FYP 2 progress started with a meeting with Dr. Zulkhairi and Dr. Masum. We discussed about the comments given by the assessors during FYP 1 presentation and also planning the progress of FYP 2.

The next things to do is to complete the framework of the report, presentation's slide and also the poster besides customizing the blog's background to suits the project tittle.

For the hardware, I need to test the IOT device as to display temperature and retrieve the data sent to the cloud on my handphone. 

Lastly, I've update the gantt chart which include this semester planning which is according to the certain progress stated in the chart.

WEEK 17: Proposal Report's Update

Dr. has updated the plagiarism percentage for my report as he checked it using the Turnitin software. I need to correct the report a few times until I obtained the latest plagiarism percentage update of 13% which can be accepted as long as it is below 20%.

The only thing left to do is to submit the report on 11 December 2017 before I can continue my project in FYP 2 for the next semester.

WEEK 16: PRESENTATION DAY!

Jeng jeng jeng! Finally the day that has come for the FYP 1 students to present their project to the assessors. This is the first time I wear a blouse which is something that I never done before so new achievement unlocked! 😉 hahaha sorry but I just had to mention it since it is a rare phenomenon to see me wearing "lady-like" outfit.

Ehem. So on 22 November 2017 which falls on Wednesday, I, Wan Nur Qistina Binti Wan Shukry, has presented my FYP 1 project. I don't know what happened to Dr. Zaki though as Dr. Gan Hong Seng has replaced him as my first assessor which makes me be among the last FYP 1 students to be assessed. Overall, I think I did a good job presenting my project as both my assessors looks like they satisfied with my explanation on the project and hope it is the same with the results.

Enough with the presentation, I've finally finished my proposal report and i just need to submit it to Dr. to check for the plagiarism.

WEEK 15: Final Preparation of Presentation Slides

This is the only week that I have to show the slides to Dr. and do some correction before the presentation day next week. 

After presenting my slides, Dr. told me to include the drawing of the prototype of my project and state the location to test the prototype in the methodology section besides add a references section at the end of the slide. That is all I need to improves on my slides and I'll be ready for the presentation day.

Other than checking the slides, Dr. also gives a few tips as in what he would asks if he be the assessors on the presentation day. Talking about the assessor, the one who will assess me on the presentation day is Dr. Zaki and Sir Muhyi and you know what, I'm so nervous thinking about the FYP 1 presentation that I dreamed being assessed by Sir Muhyi even before the list of assessors is announced. What a dream comes true! (i guess 🤔)

WEEK 14: Presentation Slides Progress

For this week's consultation, I presents the slide I've prepared to Dr. so that I know if I'm doing it the right way or not. Unfortunately, there is a lot of things that needs correction on the slides along with the report progress especially on the scope and limitation part which I have to state the size of the fish pond and tanks involved.

The proposal report is almost finish as I'm listing all the hardware and software that will be use in my poject.

WEEK 13: Presentation Slides Preparation

The research about this project is done once I’m sure about the hardware and software that I need to complete my project. This week I’m going to starts preparing the slides for the FYP 1 Presentation day which is scheduled on week 16 at Dewan Gemilang. It is supposed to be on week 14, but I was told that it has been postponed to week 16. I don’t know the reasons why it’s being postponed, but I’m quite relieved since I have more time to prepare myself for the presentation day.

Back to the proposal report, I’m still stuck at the chapter 1 as I have to modify the Introduction part because Dr. told me that it is better to include some statistics to make it more interesting to be read. He also reminds to work more on the literature review in chapter 2, to paraphrase it using my own words besides improve the methodology, flow chart and block diagram for chapter 3 so that people can understands it better.
