WEEK 4

ACTIVITY: MAKE A RESEARCH ABOUT THE PROJECT.

Date : 26 / 10 / 2016

Objective:

Ø To know what the type of component use.

Ø To know how it function.

Ø To see the different of existing project but it function is same.

Content and Procedure:

After we meet Dr Zulkhairi, we need to make a further study about project that we decide to create that is Automatic Plant Irrigation System (APIS). To make the research, we decide to find a information by using internet searching method. This method we can see many project that have a same output result but using different of method and component.

Result and analysis:

The result of the research, we can see some project use a Micro-Controller and Arduino Uno to make the project functioning. This method we need to program a coding in the device to make a instruction for the project. So the project can running by following the instruction that have been program.

The other project using a typical circuit but they use Soil moisture Sensor to detect the moisture of the soil. This circuit do not need to program because the soil moisture sensor will detect the moisture of the soil and send a signal to water pump to supply water.

Conclusion:

For the conclusion, we decide to use a typical circuit to create our Final Year Project. Dr Zulkhairi agree with our decision and give approval to do the next step to buy a component.
