Week 9

Date:23/9/2019 -27/9/2019
Title: Making a connections

In this week, I make a connection and put a program code into arduino to command the LCD using arduino software. There are many trials that i made for installing a code into arduino because it is my first time using arduino.




The circuit that i marked in red was my project. This voltage sensors can read the value in the voltage. Why i used two sensors? Because first is to measure the value of voltage in the circuit and the others is to measure the value of voltage of the solar recieved. After that, I write a coding and install into Arduino.



Other than that, my project is to connect the solar panel to the battery to be charges.

Title : Research and findings

In this week I’m continuing my research about LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). In my project, I would like to interface arduino with LCD. 

Introduction of LCD

 LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen is an electronic display module and find a wide range of applications. A 16x2 LCD display is very basic module and is very commonly used in various devices and circuits. These modules are preferred over seven segments and other multi segment LEDs. The reasons being: LCDs are economical; easily programmable; have no limitation of displaying special & even custom characters (unlike in seven segments), animations and so on.

A 16x2 LCD means it can display 16 characters per line and there are 2 such lines. In this LCD each character is displayed in 5x7 pixel matrix. This LCD has two registers, namely, Command and Data.

This is a datasheet of LCD 16x2

From datasheet above, LCD 16x2 can using 16 pin(for 8 bit) and 12 pin(for 4 bit). I try to connected  the lcd to my arduino.

Week 7

Title: FINAL YEAR PROJECT Workshop

This week is about the Workshop of the Final Year Project.

Date: 4th September 2019 (Wednesday)

Venue: TTL2

Time: 3 pm to 5pm

  

In the workshop, the FYP committees have explained us about :

·         Result and Discussion (Chapter 4)

          Conclusion (Chapter 5)

          Abstract Writing

In conclusion, the contents for this week were clearly understood by students. This can help student to be well prepared in doing a complete Thesis.
