Title:  Presentation of Final Year Project

The Final Year Project presentation was conducted at Dewan Gemilang British Malaysian Institute at 2pm to 5.30pm.

Alhamdulillah everything went well for the presentation. After the presentation is time to prepare the report.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: 

First of all, we would like to thank my supervisor Madam Johara Bte Ghazali for his guidance, advices and attention throughout the development of this project. This project would not have happened without the supports of our family. We would like to thank our beloved parents and siblings who have help to encourage whenever we feeling down. They are the backbones of our success.

We would also like to thank all of our friends for the supports. Our friends have helped we a lot in improving our knowledge and skills. Then we would like to thank all the lecturers that have taught me throughout my studies. We will try to use the knowledge that have been taught as good as we can. Lastly we would like to thank those who have helped we in developing this project.

Title: Make a flowchart

 In this week, we are make a flowchart for this project. A flowchart is a visual representation of a flow of data. It can be used to outline a process or a solution to a problem, whether it is simple or complex. For beginners in programming, it is vital to learn flowcharting to understand the basic logic behind a program. So, it will be easier to write the code if we have a flowchart.

WEEK 9

Date: 28/11/2016 - 2/12/2016
Title: Interface Arduino and SIM800L

In this week, we have gone to Jalan Pasar to buy a GSM Module SIM800L. The price is only RM47.00. We would like to explain  about this module.

GSM SIM800L that we buy.

A SIM800L have a 12 pin.The pin is Antena, VCC, RESET, RX, TX, GND, Ring, DTR, Mic+, Mic-, Speaker+ and Speaker-. But we just use 5 pin only. Which is VCC, RX, TX, Antena and GND.

To can see the datasheet, click at the link above.

 http://wiki.seeedstudio.com/images/4/46/SIM800L_Hardware_Design_V1.00.pdf

The connection between Arduino Uno and SIM800l that we make:

For above module Arduino to SIM800L connectivity was pretty straight forward .

• SIM800 VCC ↔ Arduino 5v
• SIM800 GND (either one) ↔ Arduino GND
• SIM800 TXD ↔ Arduino D2 
• SIM800 RXD ↔ Arduino D3 

Caution! : SIM800 module itself uses input voltage of 3.7V – 4.2V. Therefore, if you directly connect the Vcc pin to Arduino 5V pin, it might damage the module as well. I tried 3.3V Arduino pin with no luck. So I tried to connect the Vcc pin to 5V pin from the Arduino, my module is damage. The module not responding anything after that. 

The solution for this problem, by using  LM2596 DC-DC buck converter step-down power module. You can connected 5V from Arduino to pin IN+, step down the voltage (adjust between the range 3.7V-4.2V )and  connect to Vcc SIM800L with the pin OUT+.

WEEK 8

Date:21/11/2016 -25/11/2016
Title: Find information about GSM Module.

In this week, we just only find information about GSM Module. Based on the information, GSM  is mean Global System for Mobile Communications. GSM is a standard developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).

A GSM Module was created to describe the protocols for second-generation (2G) digital cellular networks used by mobile phones and is now the default global standard for mobile communications – with over 90% market share, operating in over 219 countries and territories. Its is mean, a GSM Module just only use in receive and transmit message and call.

A GSM module  is a chip or circuit that will be used to establish communication between a mobile device or a computing machine and a GSM or GPRS system. The modem (modulator-demodulator) is a critical part here.

A GSM Module just only can be control by using AT commands. AT is the abbreviation for Attention. These commands come from Hayes commands that were used by the Hayes smart modems. The Hayes commands started with AT to indicate the attention from the MODEM. The dial up and wireless MODEMs (devices that involve machine to machine communication) need AT commands to interact with a computer. These include the Hayes command set as a subset, along with other extended AT commands.

This is example of GSM Module that we can get at the market.
