Week 8:

Research for output1; display at LCD to display the description of water quality level. Example; Water Quality level: Clean/ Moderate/ Dirty

LCD; to display water level description; Clean, moderate, dirty

Output2: LED will light up as a symbol for water quality level; green (clean), yellow (moderate), red (dirty)

LED;

Green = Clean

Yellow = Moderate

Red = Dirty

Week 9:

Change concept a bit regarding to monitoring method. Previous method is more on personal monitoring system. As my supervisor brief to me, I should design a continuous monitoring system.

He give me the new idea: a system to monitor water quality from river – setup the system at 10 different location

Sensor reading the water flow, microcontroller (PSoC) will process and trigger the data to a server computer. The data is water quality level.

Week 10:

get better idea from ABASS pamphlet; monitoring station at 3 diff location before pumped into water treatment plant.

image scanned from ABASS Konsortium Sdn Bhd pamphlet

concept picture simplified by me. ABASS Konsortium have 3 river monitoring station along Semenyih river. The water from the river will be pumped into a water treatment plant before distributed to end user. The water treat program will be decided according to result from the last monitoring station. if the water very dirty, the level for treatment is high. so basically the monitoring station is to detect early warning or any contaminated so the treatment level can be decided.

for my FYP, I've decided to monitor 1 parameter only – water turbidity

Week 11:

get clear idea – to build a system that monitoring water turbidity. Purpose: early preparation for treatment rates at water treatment plants. As to optimize the features of PSoC board, use wifi adapter embedded in uC PSoC board. wifi – to trigger data in time interval

Diagram (coming soon.. internet so slow, mozilla always hang)

Week 12: presentation for sem 1 (fyp1).

Sir ARO

: - what diff PiC and PSoC = same function as other uC, just embedded some features (wifi, port for i/p o/p)

- why only monitor turbidity = budget (other sensor costly for student + too advance)

- How transmit data into server = use wifi adapter embedded

mdm FATIN :

where to installed; float on river or sink (under) = suggestion; float = water flow faster than under water (river base);

range of wifi on air is better. Under water the electromagnetic waves move slower due to water molecule; Water is a strong

absorber of electromagnetic waves outside a narrow band in the visible spectrum
