Week 1 (FYP II): The FYP II Begins

Objective: To introduce the second semester of the final year project

Analysis/Discussion:

The first week of the 7th semester has just begun. At the end of the previous semester, I have successfully submitted the proposal report. Now that the proposal has been approved, now I can start with the prototype. Currently, the equipment I have obtained is only the speedometer. 

Before creating the prototype of this project, I need to plan and try to create circuits needed and then simulate them. This part may be difficult since creating circuits will takes a large portion of my time. 



However, by referring the block diagram of this project, it will makes creating overall circuits of this project clearer. 

List of circuits needed: 
  1. 2 switches to rotate the needle of the speedometer clockwise and counter clockwise
  2. Two sensor circuits. 
  3. 1 micro controller circuits
  4. RS232 to TTL converter
