Title:Complete final year project report and presentation day
Objective:
(1)To complete the report of final year project
(2) To show and present the result final year project to assessor
Contents and procedure:
(1) Discuss with lecturer in term of final year project presentation and report
(2) Research internet what are include in final year project report.
(3) Follow guideline in RPS about the format
Result and analysis :
Automatic watering sprinkler system design with the PIC 16F877A in controlling the amount of water which depends on the size of plants. Consumers can always setting the types of water and the time when the plant need water. Besides that, they never have to drag a hose all over the plant, never have to try and figure out if they applied enough (or too much) water, and never have to worry about watering the plant while away. The system is automatic; consumer does not have to be there to physically apply the water. They have more free time to enjoy more of your favorite activities. In addition they don’t have to worry the automatic watering sprinkler ruin their crops because it can set on LCD display the amount and the types of water depends on the size of plants.

Title : troubleshoot all the circuit
Procedure :
1) Multimeter
2) Supply
3) Wire
Analysis :
For the PIC circuit, it used 5 volt for the operation, for the supply I used 12 volt adaptor. When the supply 12 volt inject to the PIC circuit, it will automatically 5 volt supply to PIC. It is because it have voltage regulator on the circuit.
Picture 14 : voltage supply from adaptor
Picture 15 : LED show valve circuit is on
Picture 16 : Voltage signal from PIC
Based on picture above, it show the voltage when the PIC sending a signal to a valve circuit. For the valve and pump circuit it use directly plug in 240 volt.
Analysis :
As we know, PIC circuit is the most important thing to control this project. This circuit also use 5 volt to operated. From this circuit we can see the voltage regulator, so to operate the circuit, we must use adaptor 12 volt. Normally 12 volt and the voltage will stepdown by voltage regulator. For the valve circuit, it use 124 volt and high voltage. The safety is more important thing when to testing the circuit. From the troubleshooting the circuit, it has several problem can be detected:
1) When the circuit from input signal doesn’t have diode, it will burn the circuit when we got wrong on polarity connection. The diode will protect immediately the circuit. It wills shutdown the circuit automatically.
2) Shorting between the signal because of the soldering. Disconnect the soldering and soldering again.

Title: design the hardware and mechanical part for this project
Objective:
• To build hardware for this project
• To ensure the hardware and mechanical part suitable with circuit
Content/Procedure:
• Design the suitable part
• Used the suitable instrument to build this hardware
• Arrange the overall part
For the hardware part the first thing is need to design the pipe for the sprinkler.
Picture 11 : pipe for the sprinkler
Next step is design the tank for the storage water for sprinkler
Picture 12 : tank
Place the circuit at the transparent board, need careful to place the circuit it is because the water can damage the circuit it have leaking on the pipe
Analysis :
From the picture above the types that designing the mechanical structure for automatic watering sprinkler system, the design is basically get from idea from the journal and book based on existing product. The pipe connection more important because if had a leaking, it will damage on circuit. The prototype also small, so it is easy to carry and testing the hardware.
Conclusion :
To make some design, we must take note all this aspect such as material that will be used, their costing, product, sizing, item endurance and also their usage. If we miss some of that part, the design will not completely useful.
