WEEK 7

There is workshop for the FYP 2 student that is called Final Report Writing Workshop that being held at TTL1. This workshop will teach student how to make a good report by understanding the writing task of the project, formulate the project statement and examine the contraction of your project.

The final report should have:

1. Introduction
2. Objective
3. Methodology
4. Result
5. Recomendation
6. Coclusion

WEEK 6

For chassis of robot, there are many design and different type of chassis which include the bigger one to the small one. The design of chassis is up to your creativity to implement the design you one and for me the scale of robot is on medium size. The chassis of my robot is a round shape with only 2 wheel tires and 2 small tires for the movement. Figure below is my chassis robot that I used to make a micromouse.

WEEK 5

FYP 2 briefing is being held on Wednesday at TTL1 on 3.00 p.m to 5.00 p.m. The lecture explain about the format for the FYP poster. The poster must contain:

• Objective
• Project description
• Methodology
• Flow chart
• Result
• Conclusion
• References

WEEK 4

The continuation of simulation of stepper motor with different coding. For the first one is the full drive simulation. Full drive simulation is 90° step movement.

The coding

The other one is wave drive simulation

Coding for wave drive

WEEK 3

This week, the unipolar stepper motor will be test by design a circuit diagram and simulate the motor with coding that been made. The testing is made with half drive coding which mean the motor is moving on step by step of 45°.

the coding for the half drive

WEEK 2

There some changes on component and equipment especially on the motor driver and motor. For the motor driver I will used ULN2003 Stepper Motor than the original that I have planned. Also for the stepper motor I’m going to used unipolar stepper motor rather than bipolar stepper motor. The unipolar motor is 5VDC gear stepper motor.

WEEK 1

For the first week, I am going to verify the progress of FYP 1 to FYP 2 by checking all the component and equipment that going to be used for FYP 2. There are some component circuit that need to be changed in order to progress the FYP 2. By this week, the schedule of FYP 2 is being checked so the planner that been made before is on schedule.
