Methodology
This chapter was describing the methodology used in this paper. Its elaborate the main idea of the experiment, the material used and also the procedure to obtained the data. Methodology is important in implementing a system or kind of project because it acts as guideline starting from early stage up to hand over. Methodology uses might be differed defending on purpose of the project, scope, objective and timeframe. Figure 3.1 shows the flowchart or general about the project. Figure 3.1 : Flowchart of project Before start this experiment, discussion is with supervisor is needed to know about the project and how it operate. This step is very important to make arrangement about the step to complete this project. Then, search and study about lithium ion battery, labVIEW and National Instrument (NI-DAQ). This step must be done to understand the whole application and characteristic about experiment by making research from the journal. After all research have been made, sketch the wiring diagram. Wiring diagram include connection of battery, variable load and sensors. Then, all the graphical user interface (GUI) will be made in labVIEW and the function will be test. This step is to know whether the circuit function or not and if it is fail, the diagram need to sketch again. Hardware will be develop after the wiring diagram have been verified. Hardware will connect with National Instrument (NI-DAQ) and PC. This is to run the whole program of the
Data Tables and Observation: Fill out the data sheet (below) for the experiment and submit with this form. Recording data carefully
Basic needs for this approach are paper forms for the observers, and equipment to show the interface on a screen or wall. This equipment could include an overhead projector, a computer screen, a barco, or a video based system with monitor. Optional materials needed would be a video camera to record the test session, log software and a computer with a simple data logging program.
Researcher will adopt a three-pronged approach in order to address every possible facet and in order to construct as rich an experiment as possible. For this reason, a qualitative rather than quantitative approach will be taken. Firstly,
The next step is to conduct the experiment, and to collect data. Record the data in a lab notebook. Following the experiment, the data should be analyzed into charts and graphs and the necessary calculations should be done. The fifth step should be to conclude the experiment. During this step, the hypothesis needs to be accepted or rejected, reasoning for claim, and any possible
This section divides three testing subsection. The first testing is the hardware part. It will be tested in individual part that consist the power, GPS signal, and gerber files. The power is tested by several factors including the continuity, the leakage, the voltage, and the power consumption. The GPS signal is tested by accuracy and strength testing. Next testing subsection is software part. We separate to test into three parts including the display, the signal transfer, and the sensor collection. The last testing is the system. This testing is for ensuring both hardware and software that are connected together without any error. We test the connection that includes the continuity and the leakage. The user control is tested by accepts input and response rate. The last system testing is an interconnectivity that test between the hardware and
Same as first experiment but this time we have been asked to design a system
The research design employed in this study is a correlation design which can display the absence or existence of a relationship between different aspects and as a result, it is appropriate for showing parts where experimental analysis can occur and present additional results.
It is importance that you of selecting the appropriate method to help reach your purpose. When caring out an observation you should carry out the type of observations to suit desired aim of it.
There are three main objectives that can be observed through both laboratory experiments and the conducting of the two as a whole. The first objective was to successfully complete the newly presented electrical circuits. Though both laboratory experiments required focus and attention to detail, the photo resistor circuit is more challenging than the temperature sensor circuit. The second objective demonstrates a computer skill through intermediate programming of the Arduino board. Again both laboratory experiments are utilized, however the challenge level of both are the opposite compared to the first objective. Through programming, the temperature sensor circuit is more difficult than the photo resistor circuit. Lastly, the third objective is equally seen through both laboratory experiments as it is the working together with a group toward a similar goal, a very important skill throughout an engineering
In this phase, there will be blueprints that show all the cable and also the arrangement all the computer to synchronize all the lab. This phase is the plan before the implementation made and the suitable design that suit the lab. It will show the design for the room, the place that the wire will place and also the rack for the switch.
In this chapter, the basic flow of project and approach for the project will explain in detail in the subsection of this chapter. This gas alerting system is divided into two parts which are hardware and software. For hardware implementations, there are sensing system, Ardruino board, output system and GSM module. Meanwhile, for the software implementation, there are

Research methodology is a way how the research is conducted step by step and in order. There are two methods used for data collection which is the primary data and secondary data. These data can be obtained and used many ways. The data is taken and analyzed in advance to produce a result that we can use for research and future reference. This study will relate to the objective we want to achieve and finding the answer to every objective we seek. In order to successfully achieve the objectives we seek, we must know
Furthermore, this research would serve as a guide and example for the future researchers to which may conduct related study as a reference. It will be a a big help to the researchers in adopting more ideas.
