_WEEK 3_ (FYP2)

Activity: Virtual discussion with Supervisor.

    This is the 3rd week of FYP2 for this semester. Given the current situation that does not allow any physical activity to be held, so any discussion with supervisors related to the progress project will be held online, either by holding an online meeting via Microsoft Teams or WhatsApp's. 

    This week I am detailing the goals, time and planning as well as detailed project management so that this project can run smoothly throughout this semester. The most critical part should be done first to avoid some problems that can make this project delayed. If the problem occurs, it will prevent the entire project from being completed on time. Project planning is very important as it will help to complete the project on time.

    After researching the different between Microcontroller Arduino UNO and NodeMCU, the Arduino Uno was the controller that I have chosen last semester to be used in my project for this semester. However, after the study for both controller, I identify that NodeMCU is more practical to be used because it is having inbuilt WIFI, which means I can easily connect the NodeMCU to internet without much effort compare to connecting Arduino UNO to internet, and the best thing is NodeMCU is Arduino compatible where I also can do all possible stuff that can be done with Arduino UNO. Besides that, NodeMCU also can be programmed in 'C' language using Arduino IDE directly. If I still wanna use Arduino Uno as the controller for my project, then I need to add Bluetooth module to transfer the data to the PUI smartphone. However, if I use the NodeMCU, I does not need any Bluetooth module anymore.
