FYP 2 Week 3: Reconstruct the flowchart

Aim:  

• To understand how the develop system works 
•  To overview the overall system.

Activities  Discussion:

On this week, I have to redo the flowchart of my overall system project. The advantages of this flowchart is to understand easily how the develop system is operate and function. Basically, the flowchart divide into two fold; one is for the administration system and the other is for employee system. Both flowchart shown below.

Administration Flowchart

Employee Flowchart

Conclusion:

By construct the flowchart first, the overall project can be more clear and can be achieve on time

FYP 2 Week 2: Modification on the planning

Aim:  

·        To decide which device that I have to use.

·        To exchange MATLAB software to more suitable software.

Activities Discussion:

On this week, I have decided to go with Digital Persona fingerprint. For this reason, I have to switch the MATLAB software to VB.net software. It is a huge challenging for me because I haven’t heard the language before but I believe it still possible because I have seen it on the YOUTUBE. In additional, sources of fingerprint device using VB.net software are numerous compare to MATLAB software. 

Conclusion:

As the conclusion, using VB.net is more suitable for my project compare to Matlab due to interface functionality of the device. After discussion with my supervisor, the decision has been allowed. 

FYP 2 Week 1: Recognize the initial planning

Final Year Project 2 (FYP2) is the main subject for my semester 1 2014. This subject is contribution from my last semester which Final Year Project 1 (FYP1).

Aim:  

·        To find solution on choosing the right device for the project. 

Activities  Discussion:

Previously, I planned on developing a MATLAB programming which can interface with Cytron fingerprint sensor. The problem is that fingerprint developer company does not produce a device that can interface with MATLAB programming. I have to find another solution quickly in order to put me on the track back. On week 1, I have done some research about the device which can contribute to my project. This is some list of the device.

Digital Persona U.are.U 4500 USB Fingerprint Reader

Supreme Fingerprint 

Conclusion:

From the research, both device are easy to use and products utilize optical fingerprint scanning technology for superior image quality and product reliability. On the market research in Malaysia, it is easier to obtain digital persona fingerprint device compare to supreme fingerprint device.
