Week 3: (FYP 2) COMPONENTS RESEARCH AND FINDING

-

Activity: Hardware Follow Up 

During the third week, I'm using my time to revise back the component I use in the propose project to be bought for the FYP2. After trying to use the existing item to make the system. I discovered that the Arduino Uno R3 is at the disadvantage because of the less pin provided on the board to be connected to the ESP8266 Wi-Fi module and the Bluetooth  module. Therefore I have decide to change the microcontroller board to the NodeMCU. This is because the NodeMCU already have an imbedded Wi-Fi module on the board with a lot of GPIO pin.\


Below is the component that have been research and need to be used for this project.

a)    Monitoring System

1-    NodeMCU ESP8266 (1 unit)

2-    Force Sensitivity Resistor (1 unit)

3-    TP4056 Battery Charger (1 unit)

4-    Momentary SPST Push Button (1 unit)

5-    Pin 2 Position SPDT Slide Switch (1 unit)

6-    Green LED (1 unit)

7-    Red LED (1 unit)

8-    220 Ohm Resistor (2 unit)


NodeMCU ESP8266


HI

      The NodeMCU (Hub Microcontroller Unit) is a free software and hardware development environment based on the ESP8266, a low-cost System-on-a-Chip (SoC). The Espressif Frameworks ESP8266 has everything a computer needs, including a CPU, RAM, networking (Wi-Fi), and even a current operating system and SDK. As a result, it is an excellent solution for a wide range of Internet of Things (IoT) projects.


      Force Sensitivity Resistor


FSRs are sensors for physical strain, pressing and detecting pressure. The purpose of the force sensitive resistor in this project is to detect the pressure exert by the contraction of chess when the user exhale. In most cases, a membrane-like flexible substrate with an interdigitated circuit pattern is used. When no pressure is applied, the circuit stays open, and electricity cannot flow from one wire to the other. 


       TP4056 Battery Charger
The TP4056 is a complete linear constant-current/constant-voltage charger for lithium-ion single cell batteries. There are two types of common breakout boards for this chip which is one with only the charger chip on board and one with three chips on board. Here im using the the 3-chip breakout board (TP4056, DW01A and 8205A dual MOSFET). The TP4056 is ideally suited for portable applications.

Lithium-ion Rechargeable Battery


Lithium-ion is a battery with low maintenance, an advantage that cannot be claimed by most other chemicals. There is no scheduled cycle is required to lengthen the battery's life. Furthermore, compared to nickel-cadmium, the self-discharge is less than half. This is because lithium-energy ion's density is two times that of standard nickel-cadmium, making lithium-ion well suited for modern applications of portable device.


M   Momentary SPST Push Button

Pin 2 Position SPDT Slide Switch 



G   LED (Green & Red)


        LED is use as the indicator for the device.

        Resistor




All the hardware had been bough online as we can't go out due to the pandemic.


1 - Force Sensitivity Resistor

This component cost per unit is RM45, where i bought two units of it where one of it is for back up plan.


2- NodeMCU

This component cost per unit is RM16.90.


3- Lithium battery charger module

This component cost per unit is RM7.48


5- 3.7V Li-On battery

This component cost per unit is RM12.69


The LED, resistor and switch is the recycle components from the unused project.

In this week, the briefing was conducted online via M. Teams as usuall, all the attandance of all FYP 2 student is compulsory. The briefing was by Sir Osman and En Ahmad Syukri. This week briefing is about the  Discussion  (Chapter 4) and Conclusion (Chapter 5).                     Date: 24/3/2021                     Venue: Online via M.Teams                     Time: 3:00PM - 5:00PM In this briefing, the FYP committees have been brief us about: How to write the Discussion and Conclusion If possible do a graph, chart or table for the measurement result           *if graph, it must has a title, the x and y axis must be correct The discussion and conclusion must be in past tense The picture of the result must has a caption For conclusion, just summarize what has been done Its okay if the project not function but must explain the reason why doesn't function The conclusion must reflect back the objective Other activity im doing for this week is to setup blynk application for the projec

WEEK 5 - ARTICLE RESEARCH ON RELATED TOPIC

-

For this week, I need to make a lot of research on my project which is Monitoring System of PUI Respiration Rate. The research was include the use of variety sensor in detecting the pressure on the chess wall.  The previous work on method of monitoring without contact with the patients. I also research about the Symptom of Covid-19 and how the symptom effect respiration rate of the Covid-19 Patient. Therefor, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, i need to create a remotely device that can monitor respiration rate of the patient without any contact with them. Beside that the article I research also include the breathing mechanism.

WEEK 6 : (FYP2) DESIGN SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF THE CIRCUIT

-

 For this week, I'm going to design the circuit diagram for my project. This circuit consist of several component including the microcontroller NodeMCU.   So, I'm using the fritzing software to design the circuit diagram on breadboard. I'm using A0 as the Input for the Force Sensitivity Resistor. For LED I'm using the D1 and D3 pin for the output. The push button is use as the external reset button and is connected to the RESET pin. The switch is use to turn on and off the circuit. So how this device work. when we are breathing, there will be a change in resistance with respect to the force of the thoracic. When breathing occurs, there will be increase in the force. This increase in force will reduce the resistance in FSR and this reduction in resistance will allow conductance and this conduction is counted as one breath. This is the process involved in measuring the heart rate.
