WEEK 8 : DESIGN BLOCK DIAGRAM

OBJECTIVE :

• Design block diagram for my project
• To study and know the main component for this project

METHOD :

• Do some research every component that i use in this project
• Find a suitable component

RESULT:

• For input,Solar panels, also known as modules, contain photovoltaic cells made from silicon that transform incoming sunlight into electricity rather than heat. 
• Then it flows to a charging circuit  to control that will also do over charge, deep discharge and under voltage protection of the battery. 
• Battery that i use in this project is Lithium Ion battery to store and as a backup energy from sunlight through solar panel
• Digital meter will display output of current and voltage
• Arduino Uno R3 is a microcontroller board. It has 20 digital input/output pins.Programs for GPS tracker can be loaded on to it from the easy-to-use Arduino computer program.
• The ESP8266 WiFi Module is a self contained SOC with integrated TCP/IP protocol stack that can give any microcontroller access to your WiFi network. 
• To detect the hikers location, i choose GPS TRACKING MODULE NEO6MV2 to detect their location
• Lastly the output will display into a Blynk Software in the user's phone 

ANALYSIS :

• From the result, i can know the selection of components to be used in my project later
• Each component has its own functionality

CONCLUSION :

• From this block diagram, i can know the flow of my project and component will used
• I also know each function of component

WEEK 7 : SET UP OBJECTIVES

OBJECTIVE :

• To set up objectives for my project
• To study and know what a main objectives in this project

METHOD :

• Do some research (Internet)
• Ask supervisor

RESULT:

Objectives of This Project

• 1. To monitor the performance of solar backpack system using Internet of Things (IOT).
  2. To provide emergency supply using solar.
  3. To develop GPS tracker system to detect hikers location.

ANALYSIS :

• Solar is the main compenent that i use for this project.There are many advantages when we use solar as electronic charges
• GPS tracker was created to avoid hikers being lost in the forest and they also have problem to detect their location

CONCLUSION :

• From this objectives, i can know what are the main objectives in my project
• In this objectives, people can know function of my project

WEEK 6 : DO BENCHMARKS

OBJECTIVE :

• Compares the project with previous project or similar 
• Check performance metrics of project and best practices from other researches

METHOD :

• Find three previous journal that related  to my project
• compare the journal with my project
• list the process, advantages and disadvantages of previous journal

RESULT:

• First journal "SOLAR POWERED CHARGING BACKPACK"
• Second journal "MULTIPURPOSE SMART BAG"
• Third journal " SMART BAG USING SOLAR AND RFID TECHNOLOGY"

ANALYSIS :

• The purpose of bench marking studies is to determine the general conditions surrounding the transactions conducted by third parties on a given market. Such studies help elicit a range of values

CONCLUSION :

• Benchmark allows me track my mistakes in progress of report in introduction, literature review and methodology

WEEK 5 : PROBLEM STATEMENT

OBJECTIVE :

• To find a problem statement for hikers in Malaysia
• To study and know what a main problem for hikers

METHOD :

• Do some research (Internet)
• Ask other friends who loves hiking and join hiking activities

RESULT:

Problem Statement for hikers in Malaysia

• Hikers have the problem with the power to charge the smartphone,especially when do a several days of hiking
• Power banks that they carry are not enough to charge their phones or some electronic devices
• They also face the possibility of being lost in the forest and they also have problem to detect their location 
• Their GPS does not detect their location correctly

ANALYSIS :

• Based on the problem,hikers need a electricity and used spare batteries or solar chargers to keep them running
• They also need a GPS tracker to detect their location.They also must know longitude/latitude that location

CONCLUSION :

• From this problem statements, we knows that hikers face many possibility.
• Before we want create some project, we must know the problems that always occur among hikers in Malaysia 
• This project was created to solve the problem
