Week 10: Completing the hardware design

Image
Title: Completing the hardware design Objective:  To complete the hardware design of the project. To attach all the hardware components in a box casing. Progress:  Conclusion:                     As the conclusion, by the end of this week, I finally manage to design a prototype.

Week 9: Write coding for IoT using Arduino software

Title: Write coding for IoT using Arduino software Objective: to write coding to control Blynk application Progress: There are many steps to implement in this section because it needs to connect the phone to the Blynk server. The MQ6 sensor needs to connect to Arduino Wemos D1 using the Blynk application on Smartphone. The next step is getting started with the Blynk application. This application must be downloaded at the Play store (Android) or Appstore (iOS). The Blynk account must be created after downloaded the Blynk application. I do some research and write this code as shown below in the Arduino software and it works for me. I use an Arduino Wemos D1 and MQ-6 sends a notification when it detects gas. Conclusion:                     As the conclusion, by the end of this week, I finally understand the concept and operation of my project based on Internet of Things (IoT).

Week 8: Create the system for Blynk application

Title of activity: Create the system for Blynk application  Objective: Start the Application Development Content : After identification and research, I have to try to develop the application planned. By using the Blynk App, most of the coding is provided in Blynk library. There is two main widget which is push notifications that allows sending push notification from hardware to the device. Currently, it also contains 2 additional options: ·        Notify when the device is offline in case the hardware went offline. ·        High priority that gives more chance that the message will be delivered without any delays.                     The next one is email widget that allows the user to send email from the hardware to any address.  Blynk widget Conclusion:       ...

Week 7: Arduino Program

Image
Title of activity:  Arduino Program Objective : - Planning on creating the Arduino programme/coding and testing Content : After going through research and study about the way Arduino connected to the MQ6 sensor and single transistor circuit, I have developed the coding needed and the result as desired. Conclusion:                     As the conclusion, by the end of this week, I finally understand the concept and operation of my project based on this program.
