Activity : Estimating component and project costing. Objective : Help student to make a budget planning for the FYP project. Content/Procedure :  1) Student make a list of component that need to buy. 2) Student survey the price of components online and make a rough estimation. Result & Analysis :  1) A list of component with their pricing has been made. This is important in order to help student a make a budget for the project. Besides that, student can compare which seller or shop that selling the components with more cheaper and affordable price. This also help student to compare which components with better quality. Figure below show estimated pricing for those components.  Conclusion : Briefly, student manage to make a list of components that need to be used for the project. Moreover, student manage to survey and compare the price and quality of the components by different seller. This can help student

Activity : Making account for ThingSpeak  Objective : Helping student with the progress of the project. Content/Procedure : 1) Student need to study and get information about ThingSpeak. 2) Student need to sign up at  https://thingspeak.com/  in order to make an account  and new channel for the project. Result & Analysis :  1) Student manage to gain knowledge on Thingspeak with the aid of internet and videos from Youtube. In simple words,  ThingSpeak is an open-source Internet of Things application and API to store and retrieve data from things using the HTTP and MQTT protocol over the Internet or via a Local Area Network. 2) Besides that, student manage to sign up in order to make an Thingspeak account and channel. Figures below shows student's Thingspeak account and channel. Conclusion : As conclusion, student manage to gain valuable information for Thingspeak. Student also

Activity : Finding information on saliva testing. Objective : To fulfill assessors opinion and recommendation. Content/Procedure :  1) Student need to follow and fulfill assessors recommendation from presentation on week 10. 2) Student need to find valuable information on saliva testing and consult with the supervisor. Results / Analysis : 1) Student manage to get an ideas on saliva testing and discuss with the supervisor. Basically saliva testing is :- D iagnostic technique  that involves  laboratory  analysis of  saliva  to identify markers of  endocrine ,  immunologic ,  inflammatory ,  infectious , and other types of conditions. Saliva is a useful biological fluid for assaying  steroid hormones  such as  cortisol , genetic material like  RNA , proteins such as  enzymes  and  antibodies , and a variety of other substances, including natural metabolites, including saliva nitrite, a biomarker for  nitric oxide  statu

Activity : Submitting the draft of FYP 1 report to the supervisor. Objective : To ensure and help student finish FYP 1 report before the deadline. Content/Procedure :  1) Student need to finish up the report based on supervisor expectation. 2) Student need to submit the draft before 25 October 2019. Result/Analysis : 1) All important task or subtopic are included inside the report. Student print the report and send it to supervisor as a draft. 2) Student manage to make Gantt chart and schematic diagram for the project as shown in Figures below. Gantt chart is important for the student time management and planning in order to complete the project. Meanwhile schematic diagram is important for the circuit configuration and connection of the project.  FYP 1 Gantt Chart Schematic Diagram of the project Conclusion : As conclusion, student able to meet supervisor requirement and submit the rep

Activity : Meet and discussion session with supervisor. Objective : To ask opinion from supervisor. Content/Procedure : 1) Student meet with supervisor at the office and discussion session was conducted. 2) Jot down important notes. Result & Analysis :  1) Student discuss with supervisor to ask for guide and opinion for draft for FYP 1 report. From that discussion, student need to include several missing subtopic in the report. Below is the outcome from the discussion session :  Need to revise the chapter 2 of the report which is the literature review. Need to add up to 4 or 5 literature sources such as articles, journal or books. Need to add schematic diagram, list of components price and Gantt chart inside chapter 3 of the report. 2) Besides, supervisor also ask student to settle up the FYP blog which later need to be print and send it to her. 3) Student need to submit FYP 1 draft later. Co

Activity : Proceed with chapter 3 for FYP 1 report. Objective : Help student to complete their FYP 1 report before the deadline. Content/Procedure :  1) Firstly, student need to make some research for chapter 3 which is Methodology. 2) Student can refer to previous presentation slide or other reliable source. Result & Analysis :  1) By referring to the guidelines, student knew what need to be included as subtopic inside Chapter 3. These subtopic are : Introduction Block Diagram Flowchart Hardware Software 2) Student can use previous block diagram and flowchart, but still need to make research for hardware and software. Below are the components used in this project. Arduino Mega 2560 R3 R301T Fingerprint Sensor Micro SD TF Card Adapter Module 3.5" TFT Color Display Screen Module NodeMCU ESP 8266 ESP - 12E Board Male to Female wire jumper 3) Hardware subtopic will briefly ex
