  بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْمِ السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته A  motivated post by Izzati Amin      During mid semester break, I spent my days at UniKL BMI hostel. I guessed this is the right time for me to move my gear at full speed for this Final Year Project since I had more time to spare on this mosquito trap project. ACTIVITIES Monday (11/4/2022) I decided to remove Ultrasonic sensor as one of the hardware for my project. Ultrasonic sensor is an instrument that measures the distance of an object using ultrasonic sound waves regardless of shape, colour and surface texture. It is also a transducer that send and receive ultrasonic pulses that relay back information on proximity (movement) of an object (mosquitoes as in my project). Previously, in a clear project view of this sensor on my project, I choose HC SR04-5V model of ultrasonic sensor as it have the ability to measure an approaching/receding mosquitoes by  producing 40k...

Week 6 - (28th March - 1st April 2022) - Installing Arduino IDE

Image
  UPDATES FROM FYP TIMETABLE:   1. Activity: -  2. Objective: - 3. Content: - 4. Conclusion: - UPDATES ON PROJECT:  1. Activity: Installing Arduino IDE  2. Objective: 3. Content:      The main text editing programmed for Arduino programming is the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Special methods and functions are included in the Arduino code, which is written in C++.  C++ is a programming language that is easily understood by humans. The main code, called an IDE Sketch, will eventually produce a Hex File which will then be transferred and uploaded to the board controller. The Hex File will be generated.      Two main components are included in the IDE environment: the editor and the compiler. The editor will be used to write the required code, whereas the compiler will compile the code to the given Arduino module and upload it.  4. Conclusion:  The Arduino IDE will be used to programmed the ESP...

Week 3 - (7th - 11th March 2022) - Study Pin Configuration

  UPDATES FROM FYP TIMETABLE:   1. Activity: 2. Objective: 3. Content: 4. Conclusion:  UPDATES ON PROJECT:  1. Activity: Study pin configuration 2. Objective:  To build  deep understanding on project  3. Content: Replacing adafruit cloud with Blynk. The ESP32 Wi-Fi module is used to link the project to Blynk through Wi-Fi or hotspot. The switch must be turned on to activate the project, but the UV light and zapper will only turn on once it is connected to the Blynk. This is to ensure that all mosquito data collected is recorded. When the project is already connected to Blynk, the LCD will display "Mosquito Zapper" and alert users that it is connected. A report can be generated and sent to the email inbox to view the mosquito data that has been collected. The data acquisition for the report can be customized by the user, The time can be set, and the frequency of reporting can be set to daily, weekly, or monthly. (Depending on the user's preferences...

Content: i) Previously, the Final Year Project is named by IoT Based Smart Mosquitoes Trap Device using Raspberry Pi.  ii). I replaced Raspberry Pi 3 with ESP32 NodeMCU IoT WIFI & Bluetooth Module. Since my project is using IoT, ESP32 are a great option since it ESP32 is a popular low-power system on chip microcontrollers with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth, making it suitable for designing and prototyping IoT solutions.   These IoT projects covers a wide range of popular IoT projects and applications to learn and build interesting applications. iii). Mass-produce of product The production price of product (Mosquito Trap) will be lower by replacing Raspberry Pi with ESP32 , thus, enabling the product to be mass-produced. The expected production cost will be less than RM100 fo...
