Week 14 (Submission of Technical Report and Logbook)

The deadline for submitting the full technical report for FYP 1 and logbook is this week. It is critical to ensure that the report has been completed and includes all of the required elements from Chapter 1 to Chapter 3. Before submitting the document, it is critical to undertake a comprehensive check to ensure that all required components have been included. Aside from finishing the technical report for FYP 1, another key duty is due: submitting the logbook. The logbook serves as a record of all activities and progress completed over the FYP 1 semester, recording the journey from week 1 to week 14. It is critical to evaluate the logbook's content to verify that it is complete and representative of my FYP 1 experience. Examine each entry carefully to ensure that it accurately reflects the task done. Before submitting the logbook, check it for inconsistencies, errors, or missing information. Proofread the text for clarity, language, and spelling, and make sure it follows any ...

Week 13 (Technical Report Adjustment)

This week, I have submitted the draft of my technical report to Dr. Aizat, my supervisor, in the hopes of receiving valuable assessment and feedback. Dr. Aizat attentively evaluated the draft during our appointment, making helpful suggestions for improvement. He emphasised the need for adjustments in various areas, including the abstract, format and methodology part. His attention to specifics and expertise will surely improve the report's overall quality and coherence. Dr. Aizat began by emphasising the need of writing a concise yet comprehensive abstract that successfully communicates the essence of the research study. He advised revising and improving the abstract to ensure it provides a clear summary of the aims, methodology, and significant findings. Dr. Aizat also stressed the significance of sticking to the report's recommended format and structure. He suggested revising the content's organisation to provide logical flow and coherence throughout each segment. Dr. ...

Week 12 (Soil Moisture Sensor Integration and Technical Report Writing on Chapter 3)

In the 12th week of my FYP journey, my focus shifted towards integrating the soil moisture sensor with the ESP32 microcontroller. I began by carefully studying the datasheet provided for the sensor, which contained essential information on its specifications, pin configurations, and communication protocols. Using the datasheet as a reference, I followed the recommended guidelines to establish the physical connection between the soil moisture sensor and the ESP32 microcontroller. Once the wiring was complete, I proceeded to write the necessary code in the Arduino IDE to retrieve the soil moisture readings from the sensor. Initially, I expected accurate results from the sensor output, indicating the percentage of soil moisture. However, upon analyzing the obtained results, I discovered that they were not as precise and reliable as expected. This discrepancy necessitated a thorough troubleshooting process to identify the root cause of the issue. To address this challenge, I adopted a sy...
