PROJECT PRESENTATION DAY (Week 12)

On the 12th April 2012, Thursday a Presentation Day was held at Gemilang Hall, Academic building and TTL foyer for the Final Year Project 1 students.



This week I completed almost all of my presentation slides. On Monday and Wednesday I met my supervisor and asked him if there were some mistakes that i still do. Fortunately, my supervisor only commented about the Gantt Chart and stated that I should changed the format and that other slides are acceptable.

During the Presentation Day, while waiting for my assessors, I went through all my presentation slides and tried to put all the words together to explained to them.

PROJECT SLIDE PRESENTATION (Week 11)

This is the week before the Presentation Day where all of the students taking the module FYP1 will present their slide presentation regarding their project to the assessors assigned to them.

On the first day of this week I have started my preparation for my slide presentation. My supervisor reminded us that the slide preparation does not have to include a lot of slides and we only have to include important keys for the project.



I made my slide presentation and meet up with my supervisor. He commented that there were too many words and some of the ideas included are not compulsory and some are not suitable. He studied the slide and he gave me some ideas and corrected my mistake.

He then asked me to go back and re-do the slide presentation and asked me to come and see him at the office the following week before the Presentation Day.

So far, my presentation slides do not have a lot of problems but I will make sure that the mistakes made will be corrected and the next time I show it to my supervisor, he would be satisfied.

PROJECT POSSIBLE OUTCOMES (Week 10)

As the date for the Presentation Day draws nearer, I have done some studies related to the possible outcomes for my badminton trainer. This is done in order to ensure that the materials listed are enough and also to avoid spending on things that will not be used in fabricating the project.



The studies are also done to determine or to plan as we future engineers, we need to construct some things according to our plan and not by just following how it goes. by learning the possible outcome, I will be able to explain to others about my plan for my badminton trainer.



For my badminton trainer, I am planning to make it a mobile machine as it can moves from left to right and the 'head' of my badminton trainer, it can rotate 45 degrees by using the middle of the machine as its point of rotation.

Anyhow, I will post another entry explaining more detail about my project soon.

PROJECT MATERIALS (Week 9)

Based on the researches that i have made for the past few weeks, i have listed some materials, items and components needed for fabricating my badminton trainer.


The materials needed are as listed below;

  • RC Servo Motor

  • PIC 16F877A

  • 40 Pins Start-up Kit

  • PIC Programmer

  • Power Supply Adapter

  • Paintball Marker

  • HPA Tank

  • Shuttlecocks


Above are some of the materials needed. In the future there might be some addition on the list of the materials as I have not really confirmed that the above are all I need to complete my project.

Based on the materials listed above, I might have some problems regarding the Paintball Marker. From past researches that I have made, purchasing a Paintball Marker requires a license and it is sold with an expensive price. I will discussed with my supervisor regarding the problems and we will come out with some solution to overcome it.
