Week 7: Abstract (updated)

Nowadays security has been a prime concern in the home or office management. The project is a security system that permits solely approved access to users with a password. The system features of changing the password anytime by the authorized user as needed. The project comprises of a microcontroller of 8051 family that's interfaced to associate EEPROM that stores the password. The project needs a input device(keypad) to enter the password, and a Motor Driver that's interfaced to microcontroller for lockup or unlocking a door or any security system. An alert would be made if there's any wrong attempt and a door open if the attempt is correct. The project will be used for security functions in home, offices, organizations etc. The project provides security and safety to house or office owners, belongings, assets from being damaged by external agent or undesired strangers. Combining hardware and software part, the project hopes that it can give an option to the user for being protected from the trespasser.

Week 5: Confirmation of project title

I went to meet my supervisor, Madam Norhayati to disscussing about my project detail and project title. After done some discussion, my project title is "Development of access system using 8051 microcontroller for home and industrial purposes". I've been told to do some research and find a journal based on the project and submit the abstract about the project before mid-semester break which is week 8.

Week 4: Surveying a title

After much thinking and researching, I have decided to take a project about security system.

The synopsis :-

        The project is a security system which allows only authorized access to users with a password. The project comprise of a microcontroller of 8051 family that is interfaced to an EEPROM which stores the password. The project requires a keypad to enter password, and a motor driver that is interfaced to microcontroller for locking or unlocking a door or any security system. An alert would be produced if there is any wrong attempt and a door open if the attempt is right. The project can be used for security purposes in home, offices, organizations etc.

Week 3: Selecting a Supervisor

I scouted for a lecturer to be my supervisor for my Final Year Project, preferably from Electrical Section. Most of the preferable lecturers are unavailable to be my supervisor because they had reached the allocated number of students for each lecturer. As for that, searching process keep going to other section and luckily I decided to search for lecturers that are still available to be the supervisor for FYP. So, I went to find lecturer that available and meet Madam Norhayati bte Yussof, which is one lecturer of Section of the Electronics Engineering.

Week 2: The Briefing

The first week of July 2018 semester started. All FYP 1 candidates have to attend the briefing on 25/7/2018, held by a few of FYP committees at the TTL 2 hall. Here are some of the contents obtained during the briefing:

• All students must find the supervisor of their choice.
• The FYP title must be suitable and be submitted to the supervisor which is then registered to the FYP website (fyp.bmi.unikl.edu.my).
• Any progresses must be reported to the supervisor and recorded in a blog/logbook.
• The title of our project must be registered until week 6.
