week 3

Assalamualaikum to all viewers. This is the updated for our FYP. We are being supervised by our lecturer madam Norhaslinawati Binti  Ramli lecturer of electronics section. Before we proceed to other stage of making our project we would like to briefly explain about our project and we hope it can make people understand how this project function as a title given. Firstly we would like to talk about what is wind speed meter and how many types of wind speed meter and then we will explain about the circuit functionality. A wind speed meter or other named anemometer is a device that is used to measuring a speed of wind. the word anemometer came from greek word anemos mean wind. This device is commonly used in meteorology or aerodynamics measurement instrument.   The first known description of an anemometer was given by  Leon Battista Alberti around 1450. There is two classes of anemometer. Those that measure wind speed and those that measure wind pressure but nowadays an anemometer have both information. There is a lot of anemometers :-

cup anemometers

windmill anemometers

hot wire anemometers

laser doppler anemometers

sonic anemometers

For this project we are using the cup anemometers  method in our project. Now we would like to explain how this cup anemometer functioned. An  cup anemometer uses motor   to  measure wind speed. It sends a voltage and convert in speed wind  the speed of motor . Wind speed will increase or decrease the speed of motor depending on  wind .

WEEK 1 WELCOME

WEEK 1  WELCOME

Assalamualaikum  First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Muhammad Ashraf B. Hanif. I'm creating this blog   because as you'll can see the title of this blog is about my final year project for my diploma that i take at UNIKL BMI. So i and my teammate Ahmad Mustaqim B. Muhd Shukree  will give an update for our FYP progression at least once a week for all 13 week given. So this entry covered the process for within this two weeks because we've started our class on 8/9/2014 . Our title that we've choose for our FYP is wind speed meter. Why we decide to choose this project?. For me this project is the medium that i can use to applied all my knowledge that i have learned during my study. It's also a little bit challenging because this project need us to program a Arduino UNO and we never study about this thing before but it doesn't mean that this project can't be proceed anyway. So for week 1 what we've done is we try to understand what is this project all about and how we can start to develop this project. Our reference is based on magazine EPE 03-01 start from page 40-47. According to the magazine what we can generally understand about this project is about creating a device that can measured the speed of wind using the ultrasonic circuit  but we not used Ultrasonic because is expensive  we using Anemometer cup. In this project waqs helped by our supervisor is madam Norhaslinawati Binti  Ramli.
