W9 - 13 (23/04/2013)

Prepare for presentation FYP2


Objective : To make a poster and ready the prototype for project demo.

Result : Poster are in the process of making. Prototype is already built in PCB and ready to put in cases.

Next Week : Final Report progression continued. focus on chapter 4 and chapter 5.

W8 - 13 (21/04/2013)


Assemble and Combining - Coding  / PCB etching + move in circuit from Breadboard to PCB 

Objective : This week to finish the hardware and software part and focusing on presentation and documentation. To construct circuit on PCB board, so about 3 board: Arduino UNO, power supply and sensor.

Result : The hardware are almost complete, only one component left (integrated switching regulator). Arduino UNO coding still need to be fix to be function correctly. The most important is arduino UNO can be burn anytime.

Next Week : Prepare for FYP2 presentation

 Sensor circuit

 Arduino UNO and LCD

 Air pump DC motor, micro solenoid escape valve

 Display the Sys, Dias and HeartRate .. still need to fix coding

 

inflated cuff OMRON

 Switch / Push button 

 Full circuit view ..

W7 - 13 (10/04/2013)

Sensor circuit, arduino microcontroller circuit. (the picture for the circuit will be update soon)

Objective : To finish constructing the sensor circuit and also to determined the connection for the arduino microcontroller.

Result : The sensor circuit is completed with the use of freescale mpx2050gp pressure sensor and others circuit are still in progress. Required air pump motor and solenoid valve for controlling air pressure (waiting for component availability)

Next Week : [If possible will put the completed parts of the circuit on PCB board] Working a little bit on the final report progress and finding the required components for project circuitry.

W6 - 13 (01/04/2013)

Constructing power supply circuit

Objective : the circuit for sensor needed about 5 Volt to work correctly so a power supply circuit with voltage regulator +5V and -5V will be design

Result : In Progress ... will be show together with sensor circuit to test its capability

Next Week :  Will be focus on microcontroller and motor/valve circuit plus coding entirely ..
