WEEK8 FYP2

Activity : Testing and Workshop 4

For this week, while still waiting for the energy meter to arrive, i attempt on testing the OLED and the Wifi module which is Node MCU ESP8266 V3 since i never use it in previous project. In the same week, i attend Workshop 4 that presented by Madam Azliza Binti Mohamad Arshad. The detail about the program is :

• Workshop 4 Presentation and Defense Proposal 

In this workshop, student are given the way on how to make our presentation like a professional engineer. The students, once again are advised to not do anything last minute because in the presentation day, everything need to be complete and no error. Students need to be more responsible about their punctuality and  do some testing about their own devices to make sure zero error when doing the presentation. A lot of tips and tricks of presentation that given by the presenter to make sure the students not stressing to much on their progress.

• Testing Components

• In the same following week, i decided to test the 0.96 OLED to make sure it is working fine. To run the OLED, i need to program an example code that written in the Arduino IDE to the NodeMCU ESP8266.

• First step of testing the organic LED display (OLED) is to find the address code in the serial monitor to make sure the display light up in correct address. By using the I2c Scanner example code in Arduino IDE, we can find the correct address code for the nodemcu 8266.

• The address code can be found in the serial monitor of the Arduino IDE. 

 

• As shown in the above figure, the address code for the OLED to operates is 0x3C.

• Testing the Organic LED Display (OLED) with the main component of the project which is the wifi module Node MCU ESP8266.

• For this testing, the OLED need to be connect to the wifi module using a jumper wire. I use a breadboard to do the testing instead of soldering it to the strip board.
• The tips is to connect to the correct pins to the wifi module to avoid any problems such as short.

Conclusions :

For this week, the students are advised to be more prepared for the presentation and avoid any incidents that can effect the marking system. The students have to be punctual about their attendance for the presentation day, and how to dress up to present. For the testing part, the testing objectives were achieved. Two of the main components working well together and get the expected result.
