Week 15-18: (19/5/14 - 13/6/14)

Submission FYP Report & Logbook

Finally, I just need to finish up my final and my log book. The final report need to be in hardcover. I also have updated all the software needed by the FYP committee via, FYP page http://fyp.bmi.unikl.edu.my/
I submitted my final report on Friday 6 June 2014; one copy for library an another for my supervisor Assoc. Prof. Dr Mohd Izhar bin Abu Bakar.

Week 14: (12/5/14 - 16/5/14)

FYP2 Presentation Day

This week is a presentation week for FYP2 also know as Industrial Day. It was held on Friday 16 May 2014, from 9.00 AM until 12.00 AM at Gemilang Hall of  UniKL-BMI. On last Monday I already print out the poster for my presentation. The presentation required the student to present about the project. My presentation has been assess by two assessors, representatives from TNB.

Week 13: (5/5/14 - 9/5/14)

Poster Design

A poster has been design in Power Point on A1 size which is 59.4 x 84.1 cm. Since next week is the Industrial Day, I have to finish the poster by this week. The poster consist of abstract, objective, methodology, results and conclusion. For the results part, I only show one example due to limited space.

Week 12: (28/4/14 - 2/5/14)

Troubleshooting and Testing

For this week, I have done some troubleshooting for my project. However the output still didn't show any value like I expected. I have to get ready for my presentation day. Here is a video I made for my project.

A Development of A Simple Buck Boost Converter Using Pulse Width Modulation

Week 11: (21/4/14 - 25/4/14)

Hardware Design

The hardware design can be separated into two section which are, circuit construction and casing development. For circuit construction I have designed the PCB layout using DipTrace for both circuit. For casing development, I made a box that can be fix for both circuit including the volt and amp meter display.

Week 10: (14/4/14 - 18/4/14)

Simulation Results

For this week, I have done several simulation on my circuit. The idea is make some further comparison with the calculation. For PWM circuit, I put it the output into oscilloscope to see the Ton and Toff by setting Rv ratio for 10% to 90%.

For buck boost circuit, the same range of Rv ratio was applied to see the output voltage for both buck and boost operation mode.

Week 9: (7/4/14 - 12/4/14)

Simulation on The Whole Circuit

The circuit that I designed consist of MOSFET, diode, DPDT switch, 555 Timer, transistor, LED, variable resistor, resistor, capacitor, and inductor. After several simulation, this circuit is working fine.
