whaT ARDUINO can do For Us

Hello,, hye,, have a good day to all readers, 
for this entry i would like to share with you some interesting project from the application of ARDUINO



example of project using arduino application 

 another interesting project from arduino

hope you will enjoy with the Video. you will gain more understanding via video from Youtube
so see you guys for the next post!!!!~~~

What is ArduinO



What is Arduino?

Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board.
Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs. Arduino projects can be stand-alone, or they can be communicate with software running on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP.) The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free.
The Arduino programming language is an implementation of Wiring, a similar physical computing platform, which is based on the Processing multimedia programming environment.

Why Arduino?

There are many other microcontrollers and microcontroller platforms available for physical computing. Parallax Basic Stamp, Netmedia's BX-24, Phidgets, MIT's Handyboard, and many others offer similar functionality. All of these tools take the messy details of microcontroller programming and wrap it up in an easy-to-use package. Arduino also simplifies the process of working with microcontrollers, but it offers some advantage for teachers, students, and interested amateurs over other systems:
  • Inexpensive - Arduino boards are relatively inexpensive compared to other microcontroller platforms. The least expensive version of the Arduino module can be assembled by hand, and even the pre-assembled Arduino modules cost less than $50
  • Cross-platform - The Arduino software runs on Windows, Macintosh OSX, and Linux operating systems. Most microcontroller systems are limited to Windows.
  • Simple, clear programming environment - The Arduino programming environment is easy-to-use for beginners, yet flexible enough for advanced users to take advantage of as well. For teachers, it's conveniently based on the Processing programming environment, so students learning to program in that environment will be familiar with the look and feel of Arduino
  • Open source and extensible software- The Arduino software and is published as open source tools, available for extension by experienced programmers. The language can be expanded through C++ libraries, and people wanting to understand the technical details can make the leap from Arduino to the AVR C programming language on which it's based. SImilarly, you can add AVR-C code directly into your Arduino programs if you want to.
  • Open source and extensible hardware - The Arduino is based on Atmel's ATMEGA8 and ATMEGA168microcontrollers. The plans for the modules are published under a Creative Commons license, so experienced circuit designers can make their own version of the module, extending it and improving it. Even relatively inexperienced users can build the breadboard version of the module in order to understand how it works and save money.

ARduiNo wOrksHOp

hye guys,,,
thanks for waiting for another post of me hehheeh<<<
for ths post i would like to share wth all of about the course that im attend before....

course     : Arduino workshOp
venue      : Level 6, UniKL BMI academic Building
organizer : Medical Electronics Club
Speaker  : Mr Hisham Mt Desa & Mr ZUlkifli Mahmudin

on tht course im learn more on programming part for my project.
basically the arduino is similiar Wth PIC(programmable integrated circuit)
it just more easy to use and friendly user hehhehehh...
i hope from this course i will gain more understanding on Arduino....
thanks to Medical CLub for organized ths course

this one of the activity during the course
we need to rebuild the Arduino circuit.

here some video during the practical session at the end of course

The Change Of TiTLe

hye guys,, after a few week im do a research and discussing wth my peeps, lecturer, advisor, senior,
i think that i need to transform something bout my project......
the problem tht i found during the troubleshoot the problem is regarding on my monitoring software!!!
basically the best monitoring software is goes to SCADA system, ths is because wth ths system usually u can easily find out the data or ur also can control ur system using ths selected software of SDADA (IGSS-interactive graphical scada system) for my understanding if u want to identify the software as a SDADA software you must refer on the meaning of SCADA It self. if that software can monitoring, controlling and collect data then we cn call asa SCADA software.
here The problem:


Problem : Lack of expertise and equipment of SCADA sofware in University. To find the latest product of SCADA is quick expensive.

solution  :  change the method of my project. which is im only monitoring and collect data using labView

reason   :  this software is easy to use,, and it will save a cost because i can use this software at university Laboratory  and we have the expertise for this software.

so as a conclusion i need to do another tough research on monitoring part using LabView. hopefully my project will going smoothly.

"MONITORING AUTOMATIC WATER SPRINKLER USING LABVIEW"

ReadY for TraNsFoRMaTiOn

he all readers,
sorry for being silent for a while,,
just looking out to find new idea for my project and i have some improvement and changing..
hope u guys will keep update on my blog
i will update soon........
