WEEK 2 (Research & Components)

We did some research on The Deepest Bin. However, there were not many information on this project, but there was an example of smart dustbin on the youtube that was similar to our project. Here is the link of the smart dustbin >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbEKAwCoCKw
Back to our project, instead of making the dustbin as an attraction, we add on GSM technology to increse the efficiency of the waste management system.

These are the components that we are going to use for the Hardware: infrared sensor, PIC 16F877A, GSM modem and voice recorder module.

BLOCK DIAGRAM

The figure above is a block diagram for the deepest bin project using GSM Technology. Infrared sensor will work entirely by detecting the energy given off by the thrower. When the sensor detects movement, the voice recorder module will produce sound like a very long fall followed by a large crash. By placing a simple sound effect it will encourage people to properly disposing waste. When the trash is full, the infrared sensor that is also connected to the microcontroller will give command to GSM modem. The GSM modem will then send a text message to the garbage collector. By implement this project it will help to increase the efficiency of waste management system.


***************          

           Final year project briefing was held together with the internship briefing at TTL hall. The attendence was compulsory for all students who are taking final year project this semester. The briefing started at 3.00pm to 5.00pm. The final year project briefing was conducted by FYP's commitees. The briefing was all about:-

- the scheme of work for final year project.
- make a logbook or a blog for final year project and must be updated every week to show project progression.
- every student can claim RM300 per person for the project.
- always meet the supervisor regarding the project.

Our supervisor is Mr Azman from the Electronic Section, level 5.
