Week 7 (2/9/2019 - 6/9/2019)

To save the data, Parallax Data Acquisition (PLX-DAQ) has been used with the help of Microsoft Excel. As some blind persons were computer literate, they can save the heart rate by their own. Before start, download PLX-DAQ and enable Active X and Macro on Microsoft Excel. Then put the following code in the Arduino IDE;


i. Serial.println("CLEARDATA");
This line required to clears sheet starting from row 2.

ii. Serial.println("CLEARSHEET");
This line has to clears sheet starting from row 1.

iii. Serial.println("LABEL,Date,Time,Heart Beat,millis");
It defines four columns named "Date", "Time", "Timer", "Heart Beat" and "millis". This part can be edited according to the data obtained.

iv. Serial.println( (String) "DATA,DATE,TIME," + myBPM + "," + millis() + ",AUTOSCROLL" );
Getting the data from the sensor to be included in the Excel.

v. Serial.println("CELL,GET,FROMSHEET,Simple Data,E,4");
Serial.println((String) "Value of cell E4 is: " + myBPM);
The line E4 from the Excel has been selected to fill in the value of the sensor.


As the code has been wrote, run the code at the same time connect PLX-DAQ and Arduino Uno with the same port and baudrate. Picture below shows the result:

Week 10 (30/9/2019 - 4/10/2019)

On 2 Oct 2019, a FYP 2 Briefing had been covering: FYP 2 Exhibition Day (Tips & Tricks) and Submission of Progress Report, Final Report & Technical Paper. Students were able to know the tips and how to present their projects during Exhibition Day. The speaker also brief on Submission of Progress Report, Final Report & Technical Paper. Next, a sketch has been made for this project. Google Sketch Up used to draw the casing of the project. A sketch need to be provided some Braille cell for guidance to the blind people.   Left View of the Project Right View of the Project

Week 15 (4/11/2019 - 8/11/2019)

Task: Updating Chapter 4. This chapter includes the findings explanation and the data analysis. During develop this project, most important things that need to be carried out were the objectives. Result 1: Accuracy of Pulse Sensor Circuit Analysis To determine the accuracy of the pulse detector circuit, an experimental analysis was conducted on the pulse sensor circuit. In patient monitor and pulse sensor, heart rate measuring is compared between the pulse oximeter. Here is the contrast between the pulse oximeter and the pulse sensor for reading the heart rate. Comparison of Heart Beat Accuracy between Pulse Oximeter and Pulse Sensor between Five Students Result 2: Classifier Analysis with Audio Output The purpose of this experiment is to determine whether the heart rate status generated by the earphone using Cytron EasyMP3 Shield is consistent with the current heart status displayed through Serial Monitor on Arduino IDE. This is to ensure that the audio was pr...
