WEEK 4

                                                                

 In this week 4, i am consulting with my supervisor to make my automatic whiteboard cleaner using ultrasonic sensor and colour sensor.

    The ultrasonic sensor are used to detect any obstacle at the whiteboard. Since the automatic whiteboard cleaner are moving automatically and freely on the whiteboard that are attached at the wall, an obstacle will be put together at the border of the whiteboard. The purpose of this barrier at the border of the whiteboard is to make sure the ultrasonic sensor can sense it and send the data to the controller to turn to another way.

    The color sensor are use to to detect the residue of ink at the whiteboard. when it detect the residue the data will be send to the controller, and from the data it will send to the motor driver.

WEEK 5

                                                                      

  This is the final week to register my FYP1 project tile. My supervisor and I has decide to put the project title to Automatic Whiteboard Cleaner using Ultrasonic Sensor and Color Sensor.

    In this week also, I have complete my Literature review which is Chapter 2 of my report. I submit my Chapter 2 draft to my supervisor and waiting his comment.

    From the literature review, what I can summarize is explained in the table.

NO.	TITLE	MATERIALS	DESCRIPTION
1.	Automatic Whiteboard Cleaner Using Microcontroller Based Rack And Pinion Mechanism	Arduino, driver module dc gear motor, rack and pinion mechanism, sonar sensor	•      The used of sonar sensor is to calculate the distance of the sensor and reflecting object that mounted at brush. •      This automatic whiteboard cleaner will move across the board in forward and backward direction in order to clean the entire board.
2.	Design and fabrication of automated duster for cleaning of whiteboard	Rectifier, capacitor and transformer to make the white film rotate.	•      The operation of this automatic whiteboard cleaner is the white film will rotate around the whiteboard in forward and backward direction when the start switch is pressed while the duster remain at the edge of the board.
3.	Design And Development Of Automatic Whiteboard Cleaner For Effective Cleaning Mechanism Using Arduino	Arduino UNO, dc gear motor, motor driver, four channel relay, duster holders, dusters rack and pinion and node MCU, mobile application (blynk).	•      This project are using arduino for wireless control and it helps in quick process. •      The mobile application (blynk) is used to control the movement of the duster either move to the upper or lower part of the whiteboard or move to the right or left side.
4.	Automated Motorized Whiteboard	Flexible whiteboard surface material, dusters, plastic rollers, motors.	•      The whiteboard surface is flexible and by using the roller it rotate the whiteboard while the duster are fixed at the back of the whiteboard. •      When user switch on the power supply the motor start rotating the white sheets and the due to the friction the duster and the whiteboard, the whiteboard come out clean as the result.

WEEK 6

   

 In this week. I am required to do a research why I decide to do this project, this is the reason why I am going to do this project. Cleaning the whiteboard usually take much time and effort without realizing it because the teacher keep doing it over and over until they used to do it. It can also cause their students to get distracted easily and hence cause their bad performance in studies. Also, Cleaning the whiteboard can also cause various type of illness to the user such as backbone pain, asthma, eyes and skin irritation because of the small particles of inks from the duster. This situation happen because when the user clean the whiteboard too much they can easily get slip disc and can paralyzed their hands due to too much pressure being applied to the disc at the backbone. Also, the tiny particles of the ink can be the cause to a chronic diseases such as heart diseases or asthma, eye and skin irritation when the particles get into the nose, eyes and the skin of the user.

WEEK 7

    

 In this week, workshop for Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 are given through Microsoft Teams. In chapter 1, we need to know the problem why we want to do the project and the objective of this project. For chapter 2, this chapter cover the literature review from different sources regarding the development of automatic whiteboard cleaner. This chapter also will cover the invention of the other project, the technology and the latest industrial product and the component that being used to develop these automatic whiteboard cleaner. It also state the observation and results on their strengths and recommendations from the studies discussed in this chapter. Basically, the technology that have been stated in this chapter will be used as references and guidance to the project. The limitations of the journal also will be applied to fulfil the industry expectation.

    Doing a literature review very important before starting any new project. This is because by doing literature review it can somehow improve the design to a new idea and can know the procedure or the flow of the project from the findings.
