Title: Final Year Presentation Day

Objective: To present the poster and the function of the project.

Progress:
               This week is the presentation week. I need to present the project to my assessors on Wednesday. Final preparation is very crucial for this week. I need to make sure that the project can function well on Wednesday.

                During the presentation day, I was assessed by two assessors. One is from the electrical section and the other one is from the industry. After 10 minutes of poster presentation. I continued with the demo pf my project. The demo went well. The assessors also give me some advice about the project, They want me to make the project that are fully using the solar power so that the battery can be recharged by the energy from the solar.

Conclusion: 
 By the end of the day, I managed to get through from the hardest part of this semester presentation that is final year presentation.  I was grateful that the presentation went really well.

Title: Testing and Troubleshooting

Objective: To test the functionality of my project

Progress:
               This week, I need to test the functionality of my project after installed in the prototype. I combined all the circuits into the tupperware. This to save some space for the prototype. I also adjust the coding so that I can get the best output result on the LCD. Based on my coding, the temperature has been set for the fan to turn are at 31 degree celsius and for the peltier to turn on are at 32 degree celsius. The test are run for three different days. The first and the second day come out with unsatisfied result but on the third day, the result obtained are satisfied.

                The pictures below showed the initial testing results of the hardware.

Conclusion:
 By the end of this week, I have done the testing and troubleshooting the project. This process is to ensure that my project can function well and as I desired

Title: Making The Presentation's Poster

Objective: To design the poster for the presentation day

Progress: 

                This week, I need to design the poster for the presentation day that are in two weeks time. The poster need to include the objectives of the project, project descriptions, methodology, flowchart, results, conclusion and references. At first, I started with the objectives, project descriptions, conclusion and references. Later on, I continue with the methodology, flowchart and the results. These parts play important roles to make my poster presentation strong in front of the assessors during the day of the presentation. 

                 I make draft of the poster first and showed to my supervisor. She corrected the parts that  are wrong in my poster. After fixing the poster, I continued to show my supervisor the latest design of my poster. 

Conclusion:

By the end of this week, I finished to design my poster and printed out for the the presentation day.

Title: Making the Prototype

Objective: To make the prototype of the project

Progress: 

                This week, I started to make the prototype of the project. I mainly used PVC pipe as the main structure of the project. I make the PVC pipe for the flow of the air. The peltier is place under the pipe and the pipe is placed between the fan so the flow of the air will focus through the pipe and the air are flow out using another fan. The circuit is place under the pipe so it can not be disturbed by the flow of the air. The picture below will show the PVC which are placed inside the tupperware.

Conclusion:

 As the conclusion, I managed to make the prototype of my final year project. It took me all week long to finally finished making the hardware.
